I’rlze. (Per.) This comparatively new 
variety has become very popular in many sec¬ 
tions otj account of Its ability t«) produce a crop 
under very unfavorable conditions. When moat 
varieties are killed ouiriKht by frosts in bl<j8- 
•ornlnit time. Kellojtfcr’8 Prize and other pi.sflUateH 
seem to be almost immune to frosts and come 
on and bear a ^ood crop which always brings 
an unusually good price In such years. The 
plants of this variety are good vigorous grow¬ 
ers and are enormously productive. The berries 
are very large, of good color and appearance. 
One of the dependable kinds It will do well to 
tie to. Price. 25. 76c; 100, *2.00; 1000. *16. 
Fall or Everbearing Strawberries 
Kail bearing strawberries are a decided success. W'e believe in planting at least a part of 
your plantation to them. They have not been quite perfected yet as other strawberries have been, 
but they have v.ahiable characteristics that should be considered. Like other strawberries, there 
la no one variety that combines all the valuable characteristics that we would like in a strawberry. 
Most of them run medium in size, averaging with AVariicld and Dunlap, and some of them are of 
inferior quality. Some of their strong points that could be enumerated are the following. They 
fruit in the fall of the same year that they are set out. The plants blossom continuously and if 
one set of blossoms is freshen off in spring, another set will appear in a few weeks and we will get a 
crop that season Just the same, although it will b** later than usual; while common varieties of 
strawberries, If the blossoms are killed In the spring, the crop is destroyed. Some of the varieties, 
notably so the Progre-sslve, are earlier to ripen In the snring than any other strawberry. They are 
usually more productive in the regular June fruiting season than other strawberries. The fall crop 
comes when strawberries are in great demand and there i.s an almost unlimited sale for them at good 
prices. 
Varieties of Fall Bearing Strawberries 
ProgresHive. (Per.) This variety Is more generally 
grown than any other of the fall bearing sorts. 
The plants closely resemble Dunlap plants but 
of course, on account of Its fall bearing propen¬ 
sities, are not as good plant makers as that 
famous variety, although they are as good plant 
makers as any fall fruiting kind known. They 
bear an enormous crop of small to medium 
fruits of good flavor, rather dark In color. It 
is not a good keeper and will not do to ship far 
or stand in market long, as it rapidly turns darit 
and deteriorates. For home consumption it if 
fine. As a spring fruiter, it la unsurpassed Ir: 
productiveness and la the earliest berry to ripen 
Cft all; but after the first picking, the berries 
rapidly deteriorate In size and cannot we marketed 
In competition with other early varieties. It 
thrives further south and over a wider extent 
■of territory than any other everbearing straw¬ 
berry. Price 26, *1.00; 100, *2.60; 1000. *20. 
Superb. (Per.) The plants of this variety are fine 
thrifty growers, making many new plants the 
first season, and sparingly after the first year. 
The individual old plants get to be of great pro¬ 
portions and If the runners do not start or are 
kept clipped back, the plants will bear a good 
crop of berries In the fall of the first year. The 
■berries ore large to very large, regular in shape 
-as if turned out in a lathe. They are bright 
glossy crimson and the prettiest and most at¬ 
tractive fruit of all the klnd.s of fall bearing 
Strawberries. The flavor in the fall as well as In 
the spring is inferior to most other varieties, 
lacking real character. In the spring, the crop 
of berries from the same plants is enormous and 
they run from small to medium and large In size 
They are p<»4slbly more pr«}diictlve in spring than 
any straw'bcrry we know, and sell well In market 
on account of their good appearan*-*-: but as 1 
saW before, the flavor Is inferior. If the plants 
ere hoed out thoroughly aftor picking the spring 
crop and fertilized ; well, they will bear another 
good fall crop. The Sopi-rh is « good shipper. 
In sprang or fall, and is one of rhe best for mar¬ 
ket purposes. Prioe. 26. *1 . ino. ts.nn looo

Fearless. (Per.) Of the same type as Superb and 
claimed by some to bo more productive. Price 
same as Superb. 
AmericuM. (Per.) The plants of the Americua straw¬ 
berry are light green in color, healthy and vigor 
ous. They reproduce and make about the same 
number of new plants each year as the Bubach. 
The fruit is medium to very large in size, de- 
X>endlng on the care given them and the kind of 
soil they are grown on. On sandy and light 
soils, they are rather small, but attain the largest 
size on rich clay. The berries are glossy and 
attractive, Inclining to be light In color, very 
Arm and good shippers. To attain the best re¬ 
sults with Amerlcus, must use naturally rich 
soli and make It still richer by applications of 
barn manure and commercial fertilizer and give 
them constant cultivation and hand hoeing. One 
of the secrets of our success with all kinds of 
overbearing strawberries is that we make the 
ground very rich and keep the cultivator and 
hand hoes going continuously every week, even 
when the plants are In full fruiting. No other 
kind responds to this more thoroughly than 
Amerlcus. It Is our leading fall fruiting variety 
on account of productiveness and quality. No 
strawberry ever grown equals the Amerlcus In 
flavor. Nu fail bearing strawberry surpasses It In 
productiveness w’hen they get plenty of fertilizer 
and good care. The plants of Amerlcus are al¬ 
ways scarce and higher than some others. Price, 
26. *1,26, 100, *4.00; 1000, *30. 
I'Yancis. The Francis is a weak growing inferior 
plant when first set. but with good care attains 
a large size. It is enormously productive In the 
fall of the very largest berries. Some succeed 
with it better than with Amerlcus. It requires 
about the same care and attention as Amerlcus. 
No .slovenly grower should attempt to grow either 
kind. Very few people now try to grow the 
Francis on account of the weak plants and so 
they are scarce an<l high priced. Price, 26, *1.60; 
100, *6.00; 1000, $40. 
Duluth or .MlniieNota No. 1017. On account of the 
dry seasons, the Duluth has for practical ro- 
Multa, surpassed almost all the other varieties of 
everbearing strawberries during the past two 
years. The plants are strong sturdy growers 
and load up enormously with blossoms ana oer- 
rles every fall. The fruit is firm and a good 
shipper, although not as nice in appearance as 
Superb. It runs about the same size as Superb. 
The crop of fruit in the regular spring or summer 
season is enormous. The flavor is better than 
Superb but none too good. In a wet season, the 
Duluth is Inclined to lose its foliage by blight and 
mildew and is not so satisfactory, but in a dry 
season you cannot beat It for a cropper. Price. 
36. *1.60; 100, *6.00; 1000. *40.
