Fall or Everbearing Strawberries 
The Everbearing Strawberry is now past the ex¬ 
perimental stage. We were skeptical ourselves 
at first and before offering them to our trade 
we tested them several years. Out of a number 
of varieties tested we found’ only two or three 
that succeeded. Two of these sorts were so far 
ahead of any others that we tested that we 
have dropped all others and will offer these two 
only. They are the Superb and the Progressive 
and the former was more satisfactory than 
the latter. We picked from a small bed* of be¬ 
tween 200 and 300 plants, all planted in the 
spring of the same season, from four to five 
quarts of fino berries to a picking, three times a 
week, boginning foro part of August and con¬ 
tinuing till froozing weather. Tlio vinos woro 
covered with blossoms and groon and ripo ber¬ 
ries at all times. Wo boliovo that overy ono 
should havo some of thoso for a novolty, but wo 
do not believe that they will bo a paying pro¬ 
position commercially. 
Wo offer plants of Superb and Progressive. Su¬ 
perb has averaged larger and has producod moro 
quarts with us, whilo Progressive has producod 
moro berries, but smaller and on longer, moro 
upright stoms. 
R.ASPBERRIES 
Raspberries arc one of the most delicious and popular fruits grown, aro easily cultivated 
and require little care. Cut out old and weak roots each year. Plant in good soil in hills about 
four feet apart. With a little care and attention they will produce largo crops of borrios. In largo 
plantings it is advisable to plant them thickly the same as hedge row. 
RED AND PURPLE VARIETIES 
COLUMBIAN (Purple Cap)—The Columbian is 
a variety of the Shaffer typo; of remarkable 
vigor and productiveness. It is very hardy and 
a rank, thrifty grower; propagates from the 
tips, same as black caps. Fruit very largo and 
grows abundantly; very rich flavor, tarty, a 
splendid berry for jelly, pies and for canning. 
CUTHBERT—Leading late variety, all over the 
country. A very rank grower. Very produc 
tive. Fruit large and of good quality. If you 
want a good all round late red raspberry, plant 
the Cuthbert. _ 
HAYMAKER—A purple cap, not so dark as 
Columbian or Shaffer, and larger and firmer than 
either of those varieties; never crumbles, and 
stands up well in shipping. Sample crates 
have been shipped to distant points with entire 
satisfaction. It is a berry to grow for either 
home use or market. 
ST. REGIS—The so-called everbearing variety. 
This, has borne some berries in the Fall but 
has not proved much of a success with ua.
