chance to bed up. The quality of the fruit of this variety ranks with the best, ft is medium in size, 
highly colored, being red to the core. The berry parts readily from the cap and, if not left on too long 
after it is ripe, it will carry well. To make a long story short, the fall-bearing Strawberry is no longer an 
experiment, but with the advent of the Progressive it is a decided success, and it is now not only possible 
but it is easy to have Strawberries in your garden from May until November. We have a very fine stock 
of these this year. Order early and be sure and get your share of them. (See colored illustration, page 32.) 
SUPERB. This variety was introduced by Samuel Cooper, of New York, and, next to the Progressive, 
is the most valuable fall-bearing kind. The Superb is well named, and is the best of Mr. Cooper’s pro¬ 
ductions. After planting in early spring, with blossoms kept off until midseason, or until about four weeks 
before you want ripe fruit, you can get a crop the same season you plant; the following spring you will get 
a regular crop of fruit and then more fruit the following fall. That is true of all the fall-bearing kinds. The 
fruit of the Superb is medium to large and very attractive; seeds are prominent, resembling those of the 
Chesapeake. In addition to being a fall-bearing variety, Superb is an exceptionally desirable kind for 
the regular spring crop, and immensely productive. We do not remember ever seeing anything bear a 
heavier crop at the regular season in May than Superb. (See page 23.) 
AMERICUS. The third fall-bearing variety which we offer and, together with the Progressive and 
Superb, make up the three best fall-bearing sorts. Americus does not make as many plants as it should, and 
our crop of plants this year is rather below what it ought to be. The fruit of Americus is borne on long 
stems which hold up the fruit in most cases above the leaves. The berries are aromatic and excellent in 
quality. If a late frost sweeps out the first set of fruit the plants will go right on and bear some more; 
this is also true of Progressive and Superb, and should be 
considered by the grower in selecting the varieties to plant. 
Grow some Americus, and taste in September one of the 
finest and best-flavored Strawberries 
on the market.
