Everbearing Varieties 
Everbearing strawberries can be grown wherever other varie¬ 
ties are grown. Any good garden soil or any field that will pro¬ 
duce good corn or other crops will grow strawberries successfully- 
Everbearing plants should be planted in early spring, hoed, cul¬ 
tivated and fertilized just as other varieties. For best results, 
the blossoms should be cut off until about the middle of July or 
first of August. 
Some of our everbearing plants, set this March or April, will 
bear a crop of delicious berries the first year, commencing only 
a few weeks after the plants are set. If the ground is rich and 
moist, these can be allowed to commence fruiting earlier than 
August 1st, so that you can have strawberries all thru the summer, 
as well as in the fall. Given good land, good treatment and good 
growing conditions, every plant of the Progressive will produce 
an abundance of berries during the fall. No investment you can 
make will give the whole family more satisfaction and pleasure 
than a plot of these berries. 
PROGRESSIVE. The very best of all the fall-bearing va¬ 
rieties and has been successful wherever planted. It is the only 
everbearer yet found, which does well in the South. There are 
a few places in the North, where Peerless seems to do better, 
but our advice to the great majority is stand by the Progressive. 
It leads them all, because of its remarkable yielding qualities. 
The richer the land, and the more manure you apply, the more 
good fruit you will get. The berries are medium in size, possibly 
not quite so large as Peerless, but they are produced in great 
abundance, and the berries are simply delicious in quality. If 
kept closely picked, the berries are firm enough to stand shipment. 
The most striking feature of the Progressive, is that you will get 
fruit a few weeks after the plants are set and that they continue 
to bear until freezing weather. If you like strawberries, you 
will get more pleasure in a plot of Progressive Everbearing than 
any way you could spend an equal amount. Try some and see.

Peerless. Next to Progressive, the best of the everbearers. 
Vigorous grower. Berries larger and equal in quality to the Pro¬ 
gressive, but somewhat harder to grow and not nearly so pro¬ 
ductive. Well worth trying in the middle and northern States, 
especially where a smaller yield of larger and fancier berries would 
be appreciated. Price, $15.00 per 1,000. 
Peerless. 
Except Progressive, the Best of the Ever-Bearing Varieties.
