What Everyone Should Know About 

 Everbearing Strawberries 



of Everbearing: 



We are anxious that our customers understand several important characteristics 

 Strawberry varieties: 



1. While the Spring fruiting of Everbearing varieties compares favorably in volume with regular 

 Strawberry varieties, the Fall fruiting does not usually produce a considerable volume of fruit at 

 one time. The fruiting is often spread over a period of as much as 90 days. For this reason we 

 sincerely recommend that at least 100 Everbearing plants be set for average family use... (This is not 

 an attempt to sell you more Everbearing plants <han you need, but we know from experience it is 

 folly to suggest planting Everbearers in dozen lots or minor quantities because there would not be 

 enough fruit at one time for table use. We offer Everbearing in quantities as small as 25 plants to 

 enable you to plant a variety selection.) 



2. Everbearers are best adapted to States north of Virginia or in altitudes and areas where summer 

 nights are generally cool. 



3. Everbearing Strawberry plants should be set in soil with plenty of humus (soil that holds moisture) 

 so that the drain of blossoming and fruiting in early Fall, when dry weather is often prevalent, 

 will not prove too severe on the plants. 



4. 



Everbearing Strawberry plants should not be allowed to fruit until well established. The usual 

 practice is to keep all blossoms picked off until around July 1, or until growth is well advanced.

25TH YEAR OF SERVICE 



For the first time in Strawberry History a plant breeder has 

 been successful in cross-breeding the best flavored June bearing 

 strawberry and the best flavored everbearing strawberry. The result 

 is a new everbearing called RED-RICH. 



During the several years necessary to build up the supply of 

 these plants for public oft'ering the new RED RICH has been sub- 

 jected to all manner of tests and it seems to excel in all requirements 

 for an outstanding strawberry. 



RED RICH is TOPS in FLAVOR — IT is TOPS in everbearing 

 PRODUCTION — it is TOPS in FREEZING — it is TOPS in 

 KEEPING QUALITY. It has a deep red color solid to the core. 



RED RICH is a patented variety. We can offer it to you for 

 your own plantings, but with the understanding that it cannot be 

 propagated for resale. We can supply in limited quantities as long 

 as our stock lasts. If you're looking for a strawberry that is really 

 different this is it.
