Catalog of G. S. Perdue's Strawberry Plant Farm, Sfrovell, Md. 



SAMPLE (P) — (Mid-season), A good grower of exceptionally vigorous 

 and healthy plants. Berries large size, bright red color, fine flavor. A stand- 

 ard variety and one of the- best mid-season kinds. 



PROGRESSIVE— (Evert earing). The very best of the Everbearing 

 kinds. Plants are very vigorous and healthy and makes quite a lot of them. 

 It Is considered the best home garden berry. The berries are medium size, 

 bright red color and fine flavor. The method of raising the berries is the 

 same as for other sorts excepting the blossoms should be kept off until about 

 the middle of July, and from the first of August until freezing weather Prog- 

 ressive will bear abundantly, 



SUPERB — (Everbearing). Superb does not make plants like Progres- 

 sive but the berries are larger in size. Does not equal Progressive here In 

 producing berries. It is not recommended for the South but is considered 

 in some sections to be better than Progressive.

Please advise me in the matter of setting out a strawberry bed this fall. 

 A neighbor says I should wait until next spring but I would rather start the 

 bed sooner if possible. — S. T., Neb. 



The neighbor is right. Nothing is really gained by planting strawberries 

 in the fall since they will not bear until a year from the following spring 

 any way. They are harder to start in the fall also.— Clipping from Successful 

 Farming, September, 1918.
