Champion bears lots of good berries in late Summer and Fall. 



PROGRESSIVE 



The first Everbearing variety that bore enough berries to really make it 

 worth while. Progressive is a good grower and very productive. The berries are 

 of medium size, a rich red clear through, and excellent in quality, fully as good 

 in this respect as most of the spring bearing varieties. You do not have to sacrifice 

 quality when you eat everbearing strawberries. The blossoms should be kept 

 picked off Progressive as well as the other varieties until about July 10th, then 

 within a short time you can commence picking berries and have some all along 

 until freezing weather stops them. Price-list, page 35. 



CHAMPION 



Champion is claimed by many growers to be the real champion of all the Ever- 

 bearing varieties. It is very similar to Progressive, both in plant growth and in 

 size, appearance and quality of the fruit. The indications are that the varieties 

 are identical, but it has been claimed consistently by some growers that Cham- 

 pion is more productive than Progressive. We have the Champion stock true- 

 to-name and certainly it would be impossible to go wrong in planting this variety 

 either for home use or for market. Growing side by side with Mastodon in a com- 

 mercial planting, we have found that the Champion commences to ripen earlier 

 and bears more berries than Mastodon, altho they do not average quite as large. 

 We have a nice stock of Champion plants. The yield of berries is high, the quality 

 fine, and the price of the plants reasonable. Try some. Price-list, page 35.
