PROGRESSIVE 
The Best of the Everbearing Strawberries 
These strawberry plants have been selected 
and grown by us after many years of study 
and care, and they are still truly Everbearing 
in every sense of the word. With this new ber- 
ry which we offer to you as the Bridgman 
Nursery's best we have produced a berry that 
is so full of life that it is needless to pinch off 
the buds which come on them during the sum- 
mer. If you have no winter you will continue 
to get berries, nice ones, red. rich and juicy, 
sweet and aromatic, and lots of them. The 
original plants set in April or May will have 
often times more than one hundred berries to 
a plant at one time, having ripe berries, green 
berries and blossoms all on the plant at the 
same time. 
The Progressive is a wonderful fall-bearing 
strawberry and considered the best by many 
growers. The spring-set plants not only pro- 
duce a big crop of berries the same season, but 
the runner plants commence to bear fruit as 
soon as set, and quite often you will find a run- 
ner plant full of blossoms and berries before it 
has made any roots, and in this way Progres- 
sive yields a crop of fruit the first year that is 
truly wonderful. 
Two Quarts of Progressive per Hill 
If you wish to keep your berries in hill cul- 
ture, give them good care and see that they 
need for nothing in the line of plant health 
(or food). You will get the above amount 
from most of the hills. 
For the Home Garden 
The Progressive strawberry is as essential as 
anything that you plant in your garden. You 
will have more real enjoyment out of a bed of 
these berries than out of any one thing you can 
grow. 
Progressive are the earliest of all berries, 
also the latest, as it bears from very early sum- 
mer until hard freezing weather. You have a 
combination of the earliest and the latest, 
sweetest and the most productive. If you have 
missed this every season don't do so again. 
Send Us a Trial Order 
Be sure and Include at least a liberal supply 
of Progressive plants in your order this year. 
We have a good supply of them. Just a little 
of your spare money invested in Progressive 
plants will bring you large returns. Fifty 
cents or one dollar per quart is a very common 
price for them, as they come when other ber- 
ries are gone. 
You would naturally think by these plants 
bearing constantly they would produce small 
berries, but not so. They are as large as all 
oommercial strawberries. Are of the finest 
flavor, of splendid color, and the sweetest by 
far of any strawberry grown. You would hard- 
ly believe this until you saw it yourself. No 
frost can spoil your crop. You are absolutely 
sure to get berries If you get oiu* Progressive 
I)lants. 
At our home they like the Everbearing so well 
that they wait for them to put away for winter. 
They are so very sweet that but little sugar is 
needed. The color is a dark crimson, and one 
of the richest and best looking of all the straw- 
berries you can put up. The plants are free 
from all defects, is a good plant maker, and a 
miracle In strawberry life. 
Progressive strawberries will eventually be in 
everybody's garden. You will not need to wait 
until next year to get a full crop, but you will 
get it the first year you plant, and a still larger 
crop the next year.
