SUPERB. THE WORLD'S GREATEST EVERBEARER 
'T'HIS statement is made without qualification. We make it after having grown Superb under many and widely 
A differmg conditions for several years. We make the statement on the reports given us by customers in nearly 
every state in the Union. We substantiate our own experience and the experiences of our customers by the berry 
sales of the Superb strawberries made in the markets of Chicago, Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Philadelphia. 
Superb fruit sells at highest prices ever paid for strawberries because they are the best. They are perfectly formed 
beautifully colored, deliciously flavored. They ripen evenly and are almost uniformly of large size where soil is 
made rich by proper fertilizing. The plant is healthy, vigorous and tremendously productive. It begins bearing in 
June and continues bearing almost without a break until freezing weather comes on. Everybody should grow Superb. 
Reports from Customers 
Walter Baker, Maine: "I sold my Superb berries last fall 
for 65 cents a quart. They grew finely— had more than twen- 
ty-five people out to see them some days." 
C. F. Sprung:, Iowa: "The everbearing: Superb plants cer- 
tainly do fine in this country. You sent me 102 plants in the 
spring: of 1914. During- the summer and fall I picked berries, 
the last picking- being: November27. This spring- (1915) I could 
have sold the patch of plants for $125. Can you beat it?" 
H. W. Elliott, Arkansas: "The everbearing- strawberry 
plants arrived O. K. I ordered lOG—yousent 103. If my plants 
do as well in the future as they have up to date I shall be more 
than satisfied. It is a satisfaction to be treated thus. I wish 
you success." 
F. E. Chase, Missouri: "The everbearing plants I bought of 
you last spring have paid for themselves twice over, and they 
also paid for 100 plants I got from another Michipran grower 
which bore no berries, lam sending you this letter because 
you are due to get it. The Kansas City Star had an interest- 
ing 'story' about my everbearing berries." 
0. H. Clark, Nebraska: "Superb is a wonderful drouth re- 
sister and bore fruit from July 1 to November 1. At the corn 
show at Genoa October 21-23. I put four plants in full fruit on 
exhibition, and they were the greatest attraction of the show."
