Everbearing Strawberries 
Everbearing Strawberries, or Fall-Bearing as thej' are sometimes called, 
have been produced successfully everywhere spring varieties are grovirn. For very 
cold parts, where late spring frosts are very prevalent they are better, for if the first 
set of blooms are killed they will immediately put forth new blossoms. Everyone 
owning a foot of ground, whether in city, vil'age or county should plant some of 
these. 
With regard to the term "Everbearing", we can safely assure you that the 
varieties listed herein are really everbearing, producing fruit continuously from 
spring until hard frost or freezing weather. The plants are set as early in spring 
as possible, just like other strawberries. They are also hoed, cultivated, and fer- 
tilized just like other varieties. However for best results the blossoms should be 
kept pinched ofif until the first or middle of Ju>y. About August 1st you can com- 
mence picking fruit, real, ripe, delicious strawberries, and continue to get them un- 
til freezing weather. And remember this is all done the first summer, only a few 
weeks after the plants are set. ,The second year the plants can be allowed to fruit 
in the spring and continue fruiting through all the summer and early fall months, 
except for a short period in July. 
While the Everbearing strawberries are especially successful in home-gar- 
dens, in many sections, where you have a good market, they can be grown with 
great success commercially. During August, September and early October the 
weather is usually hot and people are willing to pay a good price for fresh 
fruit. From 30 to 40 cents a quart can readily be received. Given good land, 
good treatment and good growing conditions, each plant (especially Progressive) 
will give a quart or more berries. 
Plant some this spring and have the pleasure of picking berries this sum- 
mer. They will give the whole family more real pleasure for the money than 
anything else you can buy. 
Kindly place your order before April 15th or not later than May 1st if pos- 
sible, for we never have enough plants for the tremendous demand. 
AMERICUS (P) The quality of Americus is 
unexcelled . by any of the everbearing: sorts. It 
also gives a good crop of medium-large berries, 
in the spring and fall, but really gives its best 
crop the second season. Well worthy of trial. 
PROGRESSIVE (P)— The Progressive is a very 
strong, healthy grower, deep rooted and a 
great drougth register. Gives an abundant crop 
of fruit until heavy freezing weather. It pro- 
duces an enormous crop of fruit the follow- 
ing spring and early summer and another big 
crop in the fall, commencing about the 1st of 
August. Berries are medium large, dark-red 
color and of excellent quality. Very hardy and* 
an ideal variety for home use or market. Ex- 
cellent for either hill or matter row system. 
Do not overlook this grand variety. 
FORWARD (P)— Very similiar to Superb, but 
hardly as vigorous a grower. The berries are 
very fine and of good quality. 
SUPERB (P)— A very healthy, vigorous 
grower and immensely popular. Berries are 
very large and firm, nearly round, bright scar- 
let in color, shining as if varnished, and of good 
quality. Excellent for hill culture. The ever- 
bearing strawberries are well worthy of their 
tremendous popularity and you should cer- 
tainly place your order for some Superb or 
Progressive. You will never regret it.
