The Everbearing Varieties 



PROGRESSIVE. (Everbearing). This is considered the 

 best kind as it seems to succeed well in most all sections of the 

 country. A good grower of plants. The berries are medium 

 size and of excellent flavor. They should be planted in the early 

 Spring, the same as you would any other standard variety. The 

 blossoms should be kept off until about the middle of July and 

 from the first of August until freezing weather. Progressive 

 will bear abundantly. 



SUPERB. (Everbearing). It is considered in some sec- 

 tions, especially in the North, to be better than the Progressive 

 but it is not recommended for the South. The Progressive does 

 better here in this section of the country. The Superb does not 

 make as many plants as Progressive. It is considered one of 

 the best Spring bearing varieties, bearing large crops of berries 

 somewhat like the Chesapeake. Next to Progressive it is con- 

 sidered the most valuable of the everbearing varieties. 



Dear Sir: Pennsylvania, April 9, 1917. 



Strawberry plants arrived safe and in excellent condition. They are 

 just as fine as though they had come from my neighbors patch, shipping had 

 no bad effect on them at all. Thos. M. Heister.

To Whom It May Concern: 



THIS IS TO CERTIFY, That on the 28th day of Aug. 1917, we examined 

 the Nursery Stock of C. S. Perdue, growing in his nurseries at Showell, 

 County of Worcester, State of Maryland, in accordance with the law of Mary- 

 land 1898, Chapter 289, Section 58, and that said nurseries and premises are 

 apparently free, so for as can be determined by inspection, from the San Jose 

 Scale, Peach yellows, Pear Blight and other dangerously injurious insect pests 

 and plant diseases.
