Plant Our Big Yielding New Ground PROGRESSIVE 
PLANT OUR BIG YIELDING 
NEW GROUND PROGRESSIVE 
this spring. You will be assured 
of having a generous supply of 
luscious fresh berries from July 
until frost. Everbearing strawber- 
ries can be grown just as easily as 
the common sorts, however for big 
yields, they must have special care 
and culture. This is all described 
in our booklet "Helpful Hints to 
Big Profits" which will be mailed 
upon receipt of your order. 
THERE IS A MIGHTY BIG DIFFERENCE in the 
BIG HEALTHY PROGRESSIVE plants we are offering 
you this season, and the small scrubby things we pur- 
chased when they were first introduced. The big differ- 
ence is not only in the appearance of the plant, but also 
in the amount and quantity of fruit produced. We were 
badly disappointed with the growth of those plants and 
the berries they produced. We, of course, planted them 
on our very best soil, gave them especially good care, 
but they simply would not grow. We picked perhaps two 
quarts of berries from the 100 plants that season, also 
by having an unusually favorable growing season, got 
something over 200 runner plants. We had been in the 
berry business too long to give up with one failure, so 
without much faith but plenty of hope planted them the 
next season. We watched them carefully and noticed four- 
teen plants in the bunch that were doing exceptionally fine. 
By the latter part of June they were great big healthy 
fellows, throwing out fruit stems and runners to beat the 
band, while the others were simply "standing still" and 
doing nothing. 
Those Fourteen Plants 
Produced ten quarts of berries and 214 runner plants that season71fI?hough it 
was unusually dry and very unfavorable to plant growth. In addition to this, 
those fourteen plants made us boosters of the Everbearers. We were satisfied 
that if we could propagate a strain of plants that 
would yield at the rate of nearly a quart of berries 
per plant, the fall following planting, they would 
be commercially profitable and a valuable addition 
to every garden. Those fourteen plants are the 
parentage of our present big yielding strain of Pro- 
gressive. 
Just Common Sense— Not Science 
We do not wish to imply that we have "scientific- 
ally" bred a superior strain of Progressive. We do 
know, however, that by careful selection of plants 
for our propagating beds, we have greatly improved 
the Progressive plants, sold to us when they were 
introduced. We do know by comparison that the 
Progressive plants we are offering you are the best 
that can be produced. 
OUR BIG HEALTHY NEW 
GROUNDP ROGRESSIVE plants 
are growing and producing big 
crops and big profits in all parts of 
the country. We could fill this cat- 
alog with descriptions and reports 
of big crops and big profits realized 
by our customers growing these 
wonderful berries. Still you could 
not realize their true value. Our 
Progressive must be seen when they 
are fruiting to be fully appreciated. 
OUR CUSTOMERS ORDER THEM in larger quanti- 
ties every year. After they have grown them one season 
they cannot do without them. Can you imagine anything 
finer than delicious fresh strawberries all summer and fall. 
A few hundred plants of our BIG YIELDING PRO- 
GRESSIVE will provide a large family with an abundance 
of fresh fruit from spring until fall, and a big supply can 
be preserved for winter. You will never tire of them. The 
surplus can be sold to your neighbors at fancy prices. 
Usually 50 cents per quart, in the fall. 
A Trial will Convince You 
That our BIG YIELDING PROGRESSIVE are real 
EVERBEARERS. No matter where you have bought 
plants before or the success you have had with them, a 
small trial order will convince you that we have greatly 
improved the old Progressive, by our method of careful 
selection of plants for our propagating beds.
