GREAT CROPS^STMWBERMS«ndnOW TO GROW THEM 
PROGRESSIVE EVERBEARER— (Male or Bisexual) 
(For photo-engraving see page 27) 
This remarkable everbearer has become so well 
known, and is such a universal favorite that it is 
unnecessary for us to give it a lengthy description. 
No other variety, either standard or everbearing, 
produces more berries than Progressive or equals 
it in bringing its crop to full size and maturity. 
In the spring of 1917, Progressive was the first as 
well as the last variety in our experimental gardens 
to ripen its berries, and each plant was loaded to 
its fuU capacity. Again in the fall it repeated its 
spring performance, and the plants were con- 
tinuously loaded with delicious berries until freezing 
weather. Progressive makes strong, vigorous plants. 
and grows very much like Dunlap, except that its 
foliage is larger and darker than that of Dunlap. 
It is a strong pollenizer, an ideal mate for any of 
the standard pistillates, either early or late. The 
berries are medium large, and rather dark in color. 
Their flavor is so mild and delicious, and so nearly 
free from acid that they may readily be eaten by 
anyone. The blossoms are well protected by the 
foliage and are not injured by frost. Progressive 
is an absolutely dependable everbearer and already 
has become "The Universal Favorite."

SUPERB EVERBEARER— (Male or Bisexual) 
(For photo-engraving see pages 5, 29 and 31) 
This variety is rightly named because it surely 
is Superb, both in plant and fruit. Its plants are 
exceedingly strong and vigorous, of the low spread- 
ing type. The foliage completely covers the blos- 
soms, protecting them from frost. We have picked 
Superb berries from early June until Thanksgiving 
Day, and notwithstanding the fact that the ground 
was slightly frozen in November, neither blossoms 
nor berries were injured. One of our Colorado 
customers picked Superb berries in October the 
week following a six-inch snowfall. Superb pro- 
duces heavily and its berries are extra large and 
fancy, many of them measuring more than two 
inches in diameter. They are ideal for shipping 
and will carry a long distance and arrive in perfect 
condition. They are almost round, of dark red 
color, and when packed for market, are unequalled 
for beauty, and are always in great demand at the 
highest prices. The fall crop usually brings from 
thirty to forty-five cents per quart wholesale. 
Superb is now grown in all parts of the United 
States and Canada, and is recognized everywhere 
as the "Everbearing Wonder."

PEERLESS EVERBEARER— (Male or Bisexual) 
(For photo-engraving see page 30) 
This variety was originated by Mr. Samuel 
Cooper of New York, who al.so originated Superb, 
Onward, Forward, and Advance. We tested it 
thoroughly before we introduced it, and after see- 
ing it in fruit, named it Peerless because it truly 
is without a peer. No other variety can surpass 
Peerless in producing heavy loads of big, fancy 
berries. In the spring of 1917, the Peerless plants 
in our testing plot produced so heavily and the 
berries were so large that they were actually 
crowded for room. Many who visited our farm 
while this variety was fruiting, remarked that it 
would be impossible to believe that any variety 
produced .so many big fancy berries at one time 
without actually .seeing the plants in fruit. The 
plants grow tall and bushy. The berries are large, 
round, of glossy dark-red color, and of a most 
delicious flavor, both in the spring and fall. We 
are indeed proud ibat Mr. Cooper selected us to 
introduce this " Peerless Everbearer."
