PROGRESSIVE— THE NEW SENSATION 
You can have strawberries just as easily in the fall as in the spring- by planting the 
Progressive Strawberry, which is the best of all the fall or ever-ibearing strawberries. 
This variety will produce heavy crops in the fall of as fine berries as any spring-ripening 
strawberries. Truly a luxury for home and profitable for market. Think of having all 
the berries you can use on your table during the months of September, October and 
November and later, if not killed by freezing weather. 
If you grow them to sell you can get your own prices' for strawberries at that season 
of the year and there is no strawberry known that is so prolific as the Progressive. It 
commences blooming early in the spring and the blooms should be kept removed until 
about the middle of August. By doing this you get a larger yield in the fall than you 
would if allowed to bear all summer. So prolific are they that the young plants that are 
formed in the summer will bear in the fall of the same year; in fact, the young plants 
will very often send up fruit stems before they become rooted. They are not a novelty 
nor an experiment, but are a success and you ran have strawberries as well In the fall 
as in the spring — strawberries of good quality for your table every day during the late 
summer and fall; strawberries for Thanksgiving. Many who read this have, no doubt, 
heard of fall-bearing strawberries. Many have riot. Remember, we are living in an ag^e 
of rapid advancement that is giving us things that a few years ago we never thought of. 
You should plant some of these, the latest thing in the strawberry world. You will 
have to do this in order to stay up with the crowd, and you want to do that. Dozen, 32 
cents; 25 plants, 60 cents; 50 plants, $1.00; 100 plants, $1.90, postpaid. 
The photograph of bunched plants shows the way our plants are bunched for shipping. 
When plants are received, just before setting out, take a sharp knife and cut off about 
one-third of the roots; set at once and you will have stronger plants. Remove the blos- 
soms on newly planted strawberries as soon as they appear. If they are allowed to fruit 
it will injure vitality of plants.
