THE NEW SENSATION 
VNFBUNED BVNCH 
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-!bearing strawberries. 
Tills variety will produce heavy cz'ops in the fall of as fine berries as any spring-ripening 
strawberries. Truly a luxury for home and profitable for marltet. Thinit of having all 
the berries you can use on your table duiing the months of September, October and 
November and later, if not killed by freezing weathei'. 
If you grow them to sell you can get your own prices for strawberries at that season 
of the year and there is no straw!jeri-y l<nown that is so prolific as tlie 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 tliat 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 can 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 tills have, no doubt, 
heard of fall-bearins strawberries. Many have not. Remember, we are living in an age 
of rapid advancement that is giving us things that a few years ago we never thought of. 
Tou should plant some of these, the latest thing in the strawberry world. You will 
have to do tliis in order to slay up with the crowd, and you want to do that. Dozen, 40 
cents; 25 plants, 75 cents; 50 plants, $1.40; 100 plants, $2.50, 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 oft about 
onc-tliird of tlie 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 a,Ilowed to fruit 
it will injure vitality of plants.
