Champion Everbearing 
This new everbearing variety was inlrodiK-ed by Edwarrt 1,.. l^ubke. who has grown it 
extensiveiy for the past several years. lie reports some very phenomenal vieMs from 
this variety. Reports that in the spring of 1920 he planted 17,000 Champion plants on 
an acre of ground and picked .■).623 quarts, for which he received $2,059.20. This is the 
best known United States record. 
We have grown the Champion one year and find that it is superior in every way to 
ihe old Progressive. Berries larger, better quality and much more productive. One 
good feature of this variety is the fact that every plant bears, while with the old 
Progressive one plant would bear heavily, and the next ten or twelve would not produce 
a berry. 
We find the Champion to be a close competitor of our Big Yielding strain of Pro- 
gressive (see pages 18 and 19). We conducted a test plot of the two varieties during 
the past season, and found them to be about oven in matter of productiveness, quality 
and size of berries and flavor. 
We recommend that you order some of the Champion this season and compare them 
with our Big Yielding Progressive. We herewith give the introducer's description. 
"I was fortunate enough in 1915 to secure two everbearing strawberry plants from 
a well known grower and breeder of new Everbearings. They have proven very success- 
ful as a commercial crop. There are no varieties of everbearings that will stand the 
extreme drought as well as the Champion. On our plant farm in the last three years, 
they have continued to bear heavily all through the drought period. This new variety 
is very productive. Have found as many as 256 berries on one plant. This no doubt 
seems to be a strong statement, and seems an impossibility to those not acquainted 
with this wonderful new everbearing. Their real worth cannot be appreciated until 
you see them in fruit. Think of it. fine dark red, delicious strawberries from July until 
all vegetation is fiozen. Sixty days after they are set out they are loaded with buds 
and blossoms, in all stages of development. This is the greatest advance in fruit 
growing. The Champion Kverbearing is a perfect flowering variety and can be planted 
alone, one that is hardy, a good plant maker, and a profitable bearer ot fine quality 
fruit that is superior to all other everbearing varieties." 
The supply of Champion plants is limited this season and we cannot sell more than 
100 plants to a customer. 
Price of Champion, $l.r>0 per 25; $5.00 per 100.
