Fall Bearing Strawberries 
Delicious Strawberries from June until Novem- 
ber;_ This is no longer a dream but a proven 
reality. Fall bearing Strawberries are a proven 
success. They are no longer limited to a few 
plants in the garden, but our customers are order- 
ing them in larger quantities every year. There 
is an unlimited market for this luscious 'fruit dur- 
ing the summer and fall, and many of our cus- 
tomers report that they receive thirty and forty 
cents per quart in home markets. In consign- 
ments to Chicago during the past fall our neigh- 
bors received $4.00 per 16-quart case. These won- 
derful berries should be grown by every one that 
has a piece of ground, as all agree that Straw- 
berries are the best fruit that grows. 
These wonderful berries are just as easily grown 
as other Strawberries ; they should, however, have 
good rich soil. Set them as early in the spring 
as possible, hoe and cultivate same as other vari- 
eties. For best results you should keep all blos- 
soms off until middle of July. About the middle of 
August you can commence picking the berries, not 
a few of them, but all you can use and some to 
sell. Real ripe delicious Strawberries, all summer 
and (all. We had a nice shortcake last night. 
November 8th, notwithstanding the fact that we 
have had several hard freezes and a couple of 
snowstorms. Can you imagine anything finer? 
And remember that you don't have to wait a year 
or more for them. You can commence picking 
berries four months after the plants are set, or 
sooner if you keep the runners off. We would 
advise, if only a fall crop is desired, that you set 
the plants not more than 12 inches apart in the 
row, with the rows 30 inches apart, and keep all 
runners off, as nearly all your berries are picked 
from the mother plant, this will throw all vitality 
and strength in the plant and your berries will 
be larger. If grown this way you will get an 
enormous amount of berries to the acre. 
Progressive 
See illustration in colors on outside back cover. 
We recommend this variety as being far ahead 
of all other Fall bearing varieties in the matter 
of productiveness. We picked forty-eight nice ber- 
ries from one plant of the Progressive and it was 
still loaded with green berries and blossoms. It is 
a wonderful producer. We have seen a number 
of different young plants with berries on them 
before they had taken root. The plants are per- 
fectly healthy, medium in size, and closely resem- 
bles the Dunlap. The fruit is medium in size, 
bright red in color and of excellent keeping qual- 
ities, making it valuable as a long distance ship- 
per. This variety will bear an enormous amount 
of fruit in the spring of the second year, and a 
fair crop the following fall. However, the best 
fall crop is produced the first year, and we advise 
that you plant a patch of them every year. 
As most of the berries are produced on the 
mother plant, we advise planting them not mou! 
than 12 inches apart in the row and keeping all 
runners off. They will if treated in this manner, 
produce an enormous amount of berries, and as 
they sell for 25 to 40 cents per quart, you will 
receive excellent returns for your labor. 
We have an extra fine stock of Genuine Pro- 
gressive Fall Bearing Strawberry plants grown on

Americus 
This is unquestionably the finest flavored Fall 
bearing variety we have ever grown. It is not 
offered by many growers as it is a poor plant- 
maker. We planted it on our best soil this sea- 
son and have an excellent supply of plants to offer 
at a reasonable price. This will give you an oppor- 
tunity to ti-y out this variety. 
The plants are large, strong and healthy, abso- 
lutely free from rust. The fruit is produced on 
long, strong stems that stand straight up above 
the leaves, making it easily seen and gathered. 
Americus is about as productive as Superb, the 
fruit is large, firm, medium red and excellent 
flavor. Requires good soil. 
We are making a low price on them, and would 
like to have you try them. 
Price, $1.00 per 100: $7.50 per 1,000.
