STRAWBERRIES 
Strawberries are the first fruit to ripen in the spring. Fresh or preserved, they are 
dehcious and healthful, and help out on the grocery bill. They offer quicker returns to 
the grower for local or distant markets than any other fruit They do well on almost 
any soil if well drained, deeply worked, and well fertilized. Standard varieties pro- 
duce good crops the next spring after planting. Three or four varieties will supply 
fresh berries over a long season. 
The Everbearing will pro- 
duce the first summer and fall. 
The second year they b«?ar in the 
spring and continue fruiting until 
severe frost comes. They are par- 
ticularly fine for the home garden. 
"The two leading varieties of 
this type of strawberry, the Pro- 
gressive and the Superb, are nota- 
ble not only because they produce 
fruit from the time of the usual 
crop until late summer or autumn, 
but also because they are excep- 
tionally resistant to leaf-spot dis- 
eases. They are also very hardy." 
— Farmers' Bulletin 901, U. S 
Dept. Agriculture. 
Fifty to a hundred plants set about a foot apart in beds four to five feet wide will 
supply a small family with berries throughout the season. 
All the varieties listed are self -fertile and can be planted alone.

A cross between 
Aroma and 
Bubach. Attrac-

Larger, more pointed than Aroma. Will not 
thrive on rocky soils where Aroma succeeds.

PROGRESSIVE This is the most widely 
grown and most success- 
ful of the Everbearing varieties . The berries 
are medium size, mm, and delicious in 
quality. The plant is uimsually healthy, 
vigorous, very hardy, and productive. A 
crop failure is impossible — if an early frost 
catches one set of blossoms, another is 
formed immediately. The first season the 
blossoms and runners should be cut off until 
about the middle of July. The ideal berry 
for the home garden.
