EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
PICK DELICIOUS STRAWBERRIES 
i SUPERFECTION 
OUR CHOICE EVERBEARER 
This is One Of The Most Successful Of All 
Everbearers since it is very vigorous and makes 
lots of plants. As a result Superfection begins 
to ripen fruit in the spring and continues to 
bear until after frost. In Our Area We Have 
Often Picked Some Berries At Christmas Time. 
Fruit of Superfection are light red in color, 
large and uniform, and firm enough for shipp- 
ing. The flavor is a bit acid but with some sug- 
ar it is delicious. During the off-season it is 
Easy To Sell This Variety At Very High Prices. 
It is also a real treat to have this fine berry for 
home use all during the summer and fall. 
Rayner's stock of Superfection will really 
grow and make you happy to have tried this 
fine everbearer. 
100 plants $6.00; 1000 for $30.00.

THE SAWDUST METHOD OF GROWING EVERBEARERS 
HOW TO PRODUCE RECORD HARVESTS 
Tremendous crops of strawberries are be- 
ing grown by a simplified method of controll- 
ing runner growth, soil moisture and weeds. 
Known as the sawdust method, it works like 
this: 
1.—Plants are set one foot apart with four 
lines of plants to the row and a two foot al- 
ley 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 IMPORTANT that hoeing be discontinued 
entirely to avoid mixing with soil. Mulch 
will do much toward control of weed growth. 
3.—All runners are removed from plants as 
fast as they develop. 4—Blossoms from 
set plants are removed until early 
5.—Sawdust mulch will also give ade- 
newLy 
July. 
quate winter protection if the one inch depth 
is maintained. 6.—Since sawdust will remove 
nitrogen from the soil it is necessary to add 
extra fertilizer. For each ton of sawdust 
used, add 150 Ibs. of sodium nitrate or 240 
Ibs. of 10-6-4 fertilizer. 
THIS METHOD IS RECOMMENDED WITH EVERBEARING VARIETIES ONLY
