Superb (Fall- bearing)

Well named, for it is superb 

 indeed. It is only within the last

two or three years that a really 

 good, reliable, fall-bearing Straw- 

 berry has been an actual fact, 

 although they have been talked 







of to some extent for a number of 



years. So far Superb is the best on the list. Planted in early spring, with blossoms kept off until mid- 

 summer, or until about four weeks before you want ripe fruit, you get a crop the same season you plant; 

 the spring following you get a crop of fruit the same as you would on any other variety, and then another 

 crop in the fall following. Until recently most of the fall-bearing varieties have been poor plant-makers, 

 and it has been difficult to propagate them in any quantity. Superb, however, will make as fine a bed of 

 plants as Glen Mary, Sample, or Haverland. At this writing, September 28, Strawberries have been almost 

 as common on our table for over a month as they were last spring. Next year, with anything like a favor- 

 able season, I expect to have fall Strawberries in commercial quantities, and, as I am already having 

 inquiries for them from the big cities, I anticipate 

 no difficulty in finding a market at remunerative 

 prices; but it seems to me that, at the present stage 

 of the game, one of the greatest uses for the fall- 

 bearing Strawberry is for the home-garden. With 

 a good bed of this variety it is entirely possible to 

 have Strawberries every day from the time the 

 first ripe berries come in the spring until they are 

 cut off by the first heavy frost in the fall.

This is a very strong, vigorous-growing variety 

 with perfect blossoms. Very large plants of upright 

 growth. Berries large to very large, beautifully 

 colored and firm. A berry that should bring top 

 prices on any fancy market where large berries are 

 an object. The past season is the first time I have 

 fruited it, and I am well pleased with its appearance. 

 I do not hesitate to recommend it as one of the best 

 of the large-fruited varieties. It is a dandy, and 

 every grower of berries should try it. 



Abington. A vigorous grower; quite productive 

 of large, firm, well-colored berries, suitable either 

 for shipping or home use. A good berry that will 

 generally give satisfactory results. I have been 

 growing it for several years and it has always been 

 good; my crop the past season was very fine. 

 Blossoms perfect. Amanda. A dandy berry
