"NEVERFAIL*^ 
Thl« new Pall or Everbearinjr strawberry Is a 
seedling produced by the veteran strawberry ex¬ 
pert, Mr. D. J. Miller of Mlllersburg, Ohio. Mr. 
Miller Is well known as an originator and expert In 
producing seedlings, being the originator of the 
'•Plum Farmer” Raspberry and the “King Edv.'ard’* 
strawberry and other lesser valuable kinds. 
The “Neverfall” Is a seedling of the Bubach, 
hand pollenated with the Superb. It was produced 
with a lot of 600 seedlings in 1912, all of them being 
discarded but No. 200 which was named “Never- 
fall.” The Neverfall gets Its large size and produc¬ 
tiveness from the Buback, Its vigor, beautiful color 
and thriftiness of plant from the Superb. 
It Is claimed by Mr. Miller that the plants of 
Neverfall are as vigorous and make as many new 
runners to the plant as Superb and that It la three 
times as productive of fruit as the Superb. He 
claims that It Is by far the most productive and 
profltabla fall fruiter; and as a spring fruiter, it Is 
the most productive strawberry In existence. It 
fruits on the young plants in the fall while Superb 
does not. 
My attention was first called to the new ever- 
bearing seedling by a passage in a letter from 
Matthew Crawford, the great Strawberry and Gla¬ 
dioli expert of Ohio. Mr. Miller had sent .Mr. Craw- 
f<ird a few plants to test with the understanding 
chat the plants were to be destroyed if .Mr. Craw¬ 
ford did not wish to Introduce it. Mr. Crawford 
wrote me that he was out of the strawberry plant 
business and was devoting what little energy he 
had left to Gladiolus culture, but If I was still in¬ 
terested In everbearing strawberries, the New 
Seedling No. 200 produced by D. J. Miller, was by 
far the best one that he had ever te.sted and he 
had tested all that had t>een offered to the public 
so far. I wrote to Mr. Miller at once, and Mr. 
Miller sent me a few plants to test In the spring of 
1918. These and the plants sent to Mr. Crawford 
(which have been destroyed) are the only plants 
which have gone out, so far. from the originator’s 
grounds. These plants sent u.s have made a fine 
healthy growth and fruited continuously throughout 
the summer and past fall and were full of fruit 
when winter came. It was by far the most vigor¬ 
ous maker of plants and the moat productive of 
fruit of any fall bearing strawberry that we fruited 
In 1918 ami we fruited Francis, .Vmericus, Superb, 
Minnesota, No. 1017 and Progressive. 
The above appeared in iny 1919 catalogue. The 
Neverfall has proven a great success. We sold 
60,000 plants to one party last fall. The late John 
Lewis Childs wrote us several times about it and 
praised it highly. Mr. David P. Rogers, a leading 
berry grower of Pulaski, N. T. tells us that it is 
by far the most valuable variety in his large col¬ 
lection of varieties, not only as a fall bearer but 
as a summer bearer. We have a fine supply of 
plants. Price, 4 plants. $1.90; 12 for $2.00; 25 for 
$3.00; 190, $10.
