TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 25 
gotten away from me three or four times and continue to make these splendidly flavored berries against 
my will. The plants themselves are-heavy, with regular rough-neck foliage. I have grown more than 20 
varieties of Strawberries in my own patch, but I don’t see why I should now grow anything but Progressive. 
Since first growing Progressive, we have had Strawberries continuously from spring until the first heavy 
frost in the fall, and truly we may say that with the advent of the Progressive, the fall-bearing Strawberry 
is no longer an experiment, but a decided success. See illustration in natural colors, page 5* 
SUPERB 
Next to Progressive we consider this the most valuable fall-bearing variety. It was introduced by 
Mr. Samuel Cooper of New York. It is not quite so good a grower as Progressive, nor does it produce as 
many berries, but it does produce berries that are of large size and very handsome in appearance; the seeds 
are prominent, resembling those of the Chesapeake. It is a good fall-bearing variety, and in addition is a 
very good spring-bearing variety, bearing an immense crop along with the other spring-bearing Strawberries. 
A With us Americus has been rather hard to grow. The fruit is very firm, borne on large 
AMEiIUlUO. s t ems an( l is held up well above the ground. In quality it is excellent. It is true of all 
the fall-bearing varieties that, when a late frost sweeps out the other kinds, these will keep right on blooming 
and produce a good crop in the fall. As stated above, Americus with us has been rather hard to grow, but 
those who can succeed in growing it will have the satisfaction of eating in September some of the finest 
and best-flavored Strawberries that can be grown. 
FINEST EVER GROWN IN CLINTON COUNTY 
My Chesapeake plants ordered from you in 1914 are now 
producing the finest berries ever grown in this part of Clinton 
County. They proved even more than you claimed. One berry 
measured 5K inches in circumference. The season of 1914 being 
the driest one ever experienced in this part of Indiana, out of 
107 plants 100 grew. People all go beside themselves at the 
sight of the Chesapeake berry. I hope to place an order with 
you in 1916 for more plants, if all goes well. Only wish I had 
done so this spring.— Harry O, Woolfington, Clinton County, 
Indiana, June 11, 1915. 
FINEST HE EVER SAW 
Strawberry plants arrived on the 6th. They are the finest 
lot of plants that I have ever seen. I think that every one will 
grow. Last year I sent to a seedsman that I have been dealing 
with for several years for Strawberry plants, — I saved one out 
of fifty plants. It is a pleasure to do business with a company 
like yours. I also received 50 cents in stamps that I overpaid 
you. I hope to send you an order next spring.— A. W. Brad- 
ridge, Lake County, Colorado, April 12, 1915 - 
IN FINE CONDITION 
The box of plants and your notice of shipment came Satur¬ 
day, for which please accept thanks. The plants are in fine 
condition.— Mrs. Thos. L. Farron, Marshall County, Ala¬ 
bama, December 2, 1914. 
RECEIVED IN GOOD CONDITION 
I have received your plants in good condition and many 
thanks. I paid $86.64 for express, and I am glad to get it 
cheaper than usual. — C. Saito, Los Angeles County, California, 
February 9, 1915. 
WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THEM 
I did not lose more than a dozen out of over 500 plants 
received from you, and must say that I am well pleased with 
the result. I sent for twelve Progressive Everbearing Straw¬ 
berries; these I planted, and in August we commenced to pick 
our first berries and soon we had enough for my wife and 
myself for supper three times a week until the 8th day of 
November, when we had a hard frost. — W m. W. Weaver, 
Mason County, Michigan, April 18, 1915*
