Fall or Everbearing Strawberries 
Fall or Everbearing Strawberries are no longer an experiment or novelty. 
They are being extensively planted for market purposes as well as for home 
use. Only those who have fruited the Everbearing Strawberries, or seen them 
fruiting, can realize the great crops of Strawberries they produce during sum- 
mer and especially fall months until freezing weather. We have grown many 
varieties of the Everbearing sorts and consider Progressive and Superb the 
best. No home should be without them. 
PROGRESSIVE — (Perfect). Fruit is only of ordinary size, but very pro- 
ductive and firm, of the very best quality. Flavor is unsurpassed. Bears a big 
crop of fruit following the spring they are planted, it is an uncommon scene 
for ripe berries to be on young plants that have not taken root 
SUPERB (Perfect). One of the best everbearing varieties. It does not 
fruit as heavy as Progressive, but the berries are of larger size. Plants strong 
and healthy. 
How to Set and Grow Strawberry plants for best results 
The strawberry will thrive in a great variety of soils and locations; almost 
any land that will grow good crops of corn or general tarm crops will produce 
strawberries. The land should be plowed deep, if possible, as this gives the water 
a chance to go down and causes moisture to rise in time of drouths; lay o(f the 
rows after you have thoroughly pulverized or made smooth by the use of some 
machinery, 4 feet apart, set the plants one foot apart in the row; this is a good 
distance to set them for field culture. Give them clean cultivation, keep all 
weeds and grass out of the rows, to do this at times it will require a little hoe 
work; for fertilizing use when setting at the roots nothing but ground animal 
bone, if possible the land where you set strawberry plants should have a coat of 
barn-yard manure before plowing or it should the year before, be sowed in cow 
peas; tliey furnish the same plant food as barn-yard manure, and is much cheaper, 
and just as good; cow-peas may be sowed in a crop of corn, when harrowing the 
last time. 
Pruning Roots. 
Before setting plants it is best to prune the 
roots back about one-fourth. Cutting off the ends 
of the roots causes them to callous, and they 
will send out numerous feeders and will make a 
much stronger root system than could be made 
if the roots were not pruned. And shortening 
the roots makes it easier to set the plants. In 
doing this pruning you simply take a pair of 
shears or a sharp knife and cut about 1 inch off 
the lower end of the roots. A full bunch of 
twenty-five plants may be pruned atone cutting.
