SUPERB 
PROGRESSIVE 
EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
I ROM JUNE TILL FROST 
T HERE are no lingering doubts as to the practical value of this new race of Strawberries. Not a discordant 
note in the general praise of their valuable qualities. 
Read the story of “ One Square Rod” made as an experiment by the Editor of the “Farmer,” a leading 
Agricultural Weekly published at St. Paul, Minn. 
“On the first of May I put out in our back yard one square rod, carefully measured, of the Progressive, set- 
tingthe plants in rows twenty inches apart, ten inches apart in the row. The bed was kept clean and the runners and 
blossoms cut. About the first of July we mulched the ground between the rows with lawn clippings, which kept 
down the weeds for the rest of the season. The tenth of July we stopped cutting the blossoms, and the strength 
going to the fruit, from then on we had little work with the runners. In the midst of the fierce drouth of July, 
we watered the bed thoroughly about five times. This sums up the care and time put into the bed.” 
“ On July 23rd , eighty-three days after setting , we began to pick berries. Every picking was carefully 
weighed and recorded at the time, with the following results: July 36 oz.-j qts. Aug. 432 0Z.-24 qts. Sept. 
444 - oz.- 24 % qts. Oct. 413 OZ.-23 qts. (18 ounces make a quart dry measure.) 
“ The total picking for the ninety days thus amounted to 74Y1 quarts. 
“What about every family having such a bed in their back yard? Could any ornament be prettier, or any 
planting more attractive and useful? Is there anything that could be put on the family table that would add more 
pleasure than a dish of fresh , ripe strawberries , picked from the home garden every day for three months of 
summer?'' 
These are facts—not guesses or speculations. It brings out forcibly the immediate returns that may be ex¬ 
pected from these new varieties. 
A magical opportunity for everyone , everywhere— a quart of luscious berries on the table three months in 
the year from a square rod (16^ feet square) is within the reach of almost everyone , even the city resident.
