TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 25 



gotten away from me three or four times and continue to make these splendidly flavored berries against 

 my will. The plants themselves are heavy, with regular rough-neck foliage. I have grown more than 20 

 v'arieties of Strawberries in m\ own patch, but I don't see why I should now grow anvthing but Progressive." 

 Since first growing Progressive, we have had Strawberries continuously from spring until the first heavy 

 frost in the fall, and truly we may say that with the advent of the Progressive, the fall-bearing Strawberry 

 is no longer an experiment, but a decided success. See illustration in natural colors, page 5. 



SUPERB 



Xext to Progressive we consider this the most valuable fall-bearing variety. It was introduced by 

 Mr. Samuel Cooper of New York. It is not quite so good a grower as Progressive, nor does it produce as 

 many berries, but it does produce berries that are of large size and ver\,' handsome in appearance; the seeds 

 are prominent, resembling those of the Chesapeake. It is a good fall-bearing variety, and in addition is a 

 ver\- good spring-bearing variety, bearing an immense crop along with the other spring-bearing Strawberries. 

 AMFRIPII^ With us Americus has been rather hard to grow. The fruit is very firm, borne on large 

 /\lTlCirVlV./UO. gi^ems and is held up well above the ground. In quality it is excellent. It is true of all 

 the fall-bearing varieties that, when a late frost sweeps out the other kinds, these will keep right on blooming 

 and produce a good crop in the fall. As stated above, Americus with us has been rather hard to grow, but 

 those who can succeed in growing it will have the. satisfaction of eating in September some of the finest 

 and best-flavored Strawberries that can be grown.

FINEST EVER GROWN IN CLINTON COUNTY 



My Chesapeake plants ordered from you in 1914 are now 

 producing the finest berries ever grown in this part of Clinton 

 County. They proved even more than you claimed. One berr>' 

 measured 5 '2 inches in circumference. The season of 1914 being 

 the driest one ever experienced in this part of Indiana, out of 

 107 plants 100 grew. People all go beside themselves at the 

 sight of the Chesapeake berry. I hope to place an order with 

 you in 1916 for more plants, if all goes well. Only wish I had 

 done so this spring. — H.\rry O. Woolfington, Clinton County, 

 Indiana. June 11. 1913. 



FINEST HE EVER SAW 



Strawberry- plants arrived on the 6th. They are the finest 

 lot of olants that I have ever seen. I think that everj- one will 

 grow. Last year I sent to a seedsman that I have been dealing 

 with for several years for Strawberrj' plants. — I saved one out 

 of fifty plants. It is a pleasure to do business with a company 

 like yours. I also received 50 cents in stamps that I overpaid 

 you. I hope to send you an order next spring. — .A. W. Brad- 

 RiDGE, Lake County. Colorado. April 12. 1915. 



m FINE CONDITION 



The box of plants and your notice of shipment came Satur- 

 day, for which please accept thanks. The plants are in fine 

 condition. — Mrs. Thos. L. F.\rron, Marshall County, Ala- 

 bama. December 2, 1914. 



RECEIVED IN GOOD CONDITION 



I have received your plants in good condition and many 

 thanks. I paid S86.64 for express, and I am glad to get it 

 cheaper than usual. — C. S.\ito. Los .Angeles County. California, 

 February 9, 1913. 



WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THEM 



I did not lose more than a dozen out of over 500 plants 

 received from you, and must say that I am well pleased with 

 the result, I sent for twelve Progressive Everbearing Straw- 

 berries; these I planted, and in .August we commenced to pick 

 our first berries and soon we had enough for my wife and 

 myself for supper three times a week until the 8th day of 

 November, when we had a hard frost. — \Vm. W. We.wer, 

 Mason County, Michigan, April 18, 1915.
