FALL-BEARIING STRAWBERRIES 
A New Departure in This, the Most Delicious of Fruits. The Fall- 
Bearing Strawberry is a Decided Success and Making a Great Hit

VEi. Harlow Rockhill, of Grundy County, Iowa, and he considers it better than 
-— - any other fall-bearing kind, and better than most of the single-fruiting 
varieties. It is a commercial success with him. It has usually been considered that fall-bearing Strawberries 
would not make plants "freely and bed up like the spring-fruiting varieties. This theory has been completely 
knocked out by such fine varieties as Progressive and 
Superb. The photograph shown above was taken from 
some of our beds of Progressive plants; this shows that 
fall-bearing varieties do make suffi¬ 
cient beds. The Progressive makes 
plants almost 
equal to Senator 
Dunlap, and it is 
no uncommon 
thing to find a 
cluster of ber¬ 
ries on young 
plants of Pro¬ 
gressive even

have frequently 
counted as

hundred to one 
hundred and 
fifty blossoms, 
green berries

kept off until 
midsummer, or 
else the plants 
will completely 
exhaust them¬
