PLANT EVERBEARERS 



IF YOU WANT STRAWBERRIES THIS YEAR 



Fruit in 90 Days After Planting — and Until Freezing Weather 



Enjoy the pleasure and profit of delicious strawberries out of season — and in season, too, 

 for that matter! A tempting treat most anytime, strawberries have an extra special appeal 

 picked from your own garden on Thanksgiving Day. And we have done just that year after 

 year, with occasional pickings after the first snow. 



Everbearers planted in April start blossoming shortly after planting. First blossoms 

 should be removed so plants may become quickly and permanently established. Blossoms 

 around July 1 should be left on. Berries will soon form and continue producing until hard 

 freezing weather. By keeping plants weed free and well cultivated, a second summer and 

 fall crop will prove especially bountiful. 



Fresh, local strawberries — out of season — always demand high prices and alert merchants 

 are glad to get them. Commercial growers in many sections are making handsome profits 

 from small Everbearing Strawberry fields. ADD VARIETY TO YOUR PLANTING WITH 

 EVERBEARERS!
