Superb 
Fall Bearing Strawberry Plants 
These are the wonderful berries you have read so much about. We do not recom- 
mend them very highly as a commercial berry, as they are hardly firm enough to ship 
a very great distance. To attain the best results from the fall-bearing varieties, your 
ground should be rich and well prepared, remove the blossoms from all new set-straw- 
berries, especially the fall-bearing varieties, and do not allow them to bear regular 
crop in June. The fall bearers we are listing are quite productive, good size and 
flavor. Every family should have some of these wonderful berries in their garden. 
200 plants will produce all the berries a large family can use during the months of 
August, September, October and part of November. 
We have no doubt but that within a few years the development of fall-bearing 
strawberries will bring us varieties which will be marvelous money-makers for the 
fruit grower. 
The possibilities of this new species are apparently unlimited. Given a good rich 
soil, thorough cultivation and a careful thinning out, there is no pause in the produc- 
tion of ripe fruit from June till November. You should at least have the pleasure of 
a home garden patch of these wonderful new berries. 
SUPERB (S) — This is the best and most advertised fall-bearing variety in exist- 
ence. Fruit is very large, rich, dark red color, and very attractive. The plants are 
large, strong and healthy. Superb is a good bearer and will please you. 
AMERICUS (S) — Another good fall-bearing variety that is becoming universally 
popular. A good plant maker and very productive. Fruit is large, good color and 
very attractive. 
PROGRESSIVE (S) — A very prolific bloomer and a heavy yielder. A good plant 
maker and the plants are strong an^ healthy, foliage is light green and plenty of it 
Fruit is large, fine flavor and good quality. Although the Superb is more extensively 
advertised, we believe that the Progressive is a better berry in some respects.
