FALL-BEARING STRAWBERRIES 



PROGRESSIVE. 



A New Departure in This, the Most Delicious of Fruits. The Fall- 

 Bearing Strawberry is a Decided Success and Making a Great Hit 



The best of all the fall-bearing varieties to date. It was introduced by 

 Harlow Rockhill, of Grundy County, Iowa, and he considers it better than 

 any other fall-bearing kind, and better than most of the single-fruiting 

 varieties. It is a commercial success with him. It has usually been considered that fall-bearing Strawberries 

 would not make plants freely and bed up like the spring-fruiting varieties. This theory has been completely 



knocked out by such fine varieties as Progressive and 

 Superb. The photograph shown above was taken from 

 some of our beds of Progressive plants; this shows that 

 fall-bearing varieties do make suffi- 

 cient beds. The Progressive makes 

 plants almost 

 equal to Senator 

 Dunlap, and it is 

 no uncommon 

 thing to find a 

 cluster of ber- 

 ries on young 

 plants of Pro- 

 gressive even 

 before they are 

 rooted. We 

 have frequently 

 counted as 

 many as one 

 hundred to one 

 hundred and 

 fifty blossoms, 

 green berries 

 and ripe berries 

 on a single 

 plant: in fact, it 

 produces so 

 heavily that the 

 blossoms must 

 be carefully 

 kept off until 

 midsummer, or 

 else the plants 

 will completely 

 exhaust them- 

 selves before
