The Everbe.arer that Produces Like Magic 



Mr. P. Congeflo of Hackettstown. X. J. writes : "I raise 

 berries, principally strawberries, as a hobby. I enjoy it, but 

 it also means considerable profit. Last Spring I decided to 

 try yonr new SUPERFECTION. They proved to be magic 

 plants, to say the least. 



"In early Summer I took off most of the first blossoms 

 to give the plants a chance to develop properly. In spite 

 of this their production was terrific from .July continuously 

 to Xovember, AVhen hit by early frost the plants were fi-Ued 

 with berries. At which time it was difficult to convince 

 my customers that these wore local berries. 



'•Xo doubt 3'ou receive many such letters, but I do want 

 to repeat that your Superfection is a magic strawberry 

 plant."

HOW TO PRODUCE RECORD HARVESTS 



Tremendous crops of strawberries arc being gi-bwn by a 

 simplified method of controlling- runner growth, soil, mois- 

 ture and weeds. Known as the sawdust mulch method, it 

 works like this: 



1. — Plants are set one foot apart with four lines of 

 plants to the row and a two foot alley between rows for 

 walking. 2.— After first cultivation the area is covered 

 with a layer of sawdust one inch thick. Weeds that grow 

 through mulch must be pulled by hand. IT IS IMiPOR- 

 TANT that hoeing be discontinued entirely to avoid mix- 

 ing with soil. Mulch will do much toward control of weed 

 growth. S.^All runners are removed from plants as fast 

 as they develop. 4.— Blossoms from newly set plants are 

 removed until early July. 5.— Sawdust mulch will also 

 give adequate winter protection if the one inch depth is 

 maintaJhed. 



THIS METHOD IS RECOMAI£ND£D WITH 

 EVERBEARING VARIETIES ONI*Y
