Everbearing Varieties 



Everbearing strawberries can be grown wherever other varie" 

 ties are grown. Any good garden soil or any field that will pro- 

 duce good corn or other crops will grow strawberries successfully- 

 Everbearing plants should be planted in early spring, hoed, cul- 

 tivated and fertilized just as other varieties. For best results, 

 the blossoms should be cut off until about the middle of July or 

 first of August. 



Some of our everbearing plants, set this March or April, will 

 bear a crop of delicious berries the first year, commencing only 

 a few weeks after the plants are set. If the ground is rich and 

 moist, these can be allowed to commence fruiting earlier than 

 August 1st, so that you can have strawberries all thru the summer, 

 as well as in the fall. Given good land, good treatment and good 

 growing conditions, every plant of the Progressive will produce 

 an abundance of berries during the fall. No investment you can 

 make will give the whole family more satisfaction and pleasure 

 than a plot of these berries. 



PROGRESSIVE. The very best of all the fall-bearing va- 

 rieties and has been successful wherever planted. It is the only 

 everbearer yet found, which does well in the South. There are 

 a few places in the North, where Peerless seems to do better, 

 but our advice to the great majority is stand by the Progressive. 

 It leads them all, because of its remarkable yielding qualities. 

 The richer the land, and the more manure you apply, the more 

 good fruit you will get. The berries are medium in size, possibly 

 not quite so large as Peerless, but they are produced in great 

 abundance, and the berries are simply delicious in quality. If 

 kept closely picked, the berries are firm enough to stand shipment. 

 The most striking feature of the Progressive, is that you will get 

 fruit a few weeks after the plants are set and that they continue 

 to bear until freezing weather. If you like strawberries, you 

 will get more pleasure- in a plot of Progressive Everbearing than 

 any way you could spend an equal amount. Try some and see. 

 Price, $15.00 per 1,000. 



Peerless. Next to Progressive, the best of the everbearers. 

 Vigorous grower. Berries larger and equal in quality to the Pro- 

 gressive, but somewhat harder to grow and not nearly so pro- 

 ductive. Well worth trying in the middle and northern States, 

 especially where a smaller yield of larger and fancier berries would 

 be appreciated. Price, $15.00 per 1,000. 



Peerless. 



Except Progressive, the Best of the Ever-Bearing Varieties.
