Fall-Fruiting Strawberries AMER1CUS and PROGRESSIVE. 
While they will produce fruit at the same season as the ordinary strawberries and keep on bearing until frost, 
yet to get the best results the blossoms should be kept cut off until August 1st so as to conserve the energies of the 
plants for the fall crop. Treated in that way. ripe fruit will be borne in about three weeks after that date and con¬ 
tinuously until frost. One grower by that method gathered nearly 400 quarts from 500 plants set out in the spring; a 
splendid demonstration of their productive power. The quality is superb, the size good, but not up to the large 
June berries, because of the season at which they are borne. The plants must not be allowed to suffer for water in the 
fruiting season and a mulch will be found to be of great advantage. High cultivation is essential for the best resultsin 
all crops and in growing these strawberries a little extra attention will pay well. There is no more trouble to grow them 
than the ordinary strawberries but they have to be attended to in proper season. 
AMERICUS. The plant is medium sized, with foliage a shade lighter in color than Progressive, has a good, heavy root 
system, and is a fairly good plant maker; strongly staminate blossoms. The 
fruit is light red, heart shaped, of fine texture, good quality, half the size of 
Brandywine. Stout fruit-stems hold the fruit well off the ground. This va¬ 
riety has fruited here the past four years on spring set plants and new runners 
from July to cold weather. It is not uncommon for a spring set plant to 
produce from six to twelve well-loaded fruit-stalks. Price, 10c. each, 
$1.00 per doz., $8.00 per 100. 
PROGRESSIVE. A splendid grower, healthy, and hardy, very produc¬ 
tive. The plant is of medium size, the blossom strongly staminate 
and very resistant to heat. Both blossoms and fruit are well protected 
by the strong healthy foliage. The fruit is rich and sweet; a deep red 
Inside and out; of good medium size with a slight neck and quite firm. 
Plants set in August and September fruit the next spring and on the new 
runners from July until frost. Spring set plants fruit the same year they 
are set out. Price, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz., $8.00 per 100. 
NEWER STRAWBERRIES. 
The strawberries following were transplanted, into cold frames i n the fall, and 
If planted out any time before May 5th, will, under proper conditions, fruit 
•ome the present year. 
All the varieties offered are perfect flower¬ 
ing (bisexual) except where marked P or 
pistillate. The latter must have a row of a 
perfect flowering sort every nine or twelve 
feet to pollenize their blossoms. 
ABINGTON. (Midseason.) A grand 
berry, a strong grower and great plant maker. 
Grows 10 to 12 inches high with heavy fruit 
stalks which stand erect. The berries are of 
large size, a fair average is 25 to a quart. 
They are bright red, firm and of good flavor. 
CARDINAL. (P.) (Midseason.) The 
berries are large and beautiful, perfectly 
delicious. The plant is ideal, strong and 
vigorous. It is a pistillate variety. Named 
because of its brilliant color. 
CHIPMAN. (Second early.) Round ber¬ 
ries, uniform, large, beautiful color and 
splendid quality. A vigorous, healthy grower, 
Fruit firm and an excellent keeper. 
COMMONWEALTH. (Very late.) The 
berries are of the largest; and broadly cone- 
shaped and quite smooth; moreover it is 
very late. 
CORSICAN. (Midseason.) A distinct var¬ 
iety. The fruit is dark crimson, rich and 
delicious flavor, large size and firm. 
EARLY OZARK. (Extra early.) It is a cross between the popular var¬ 
ieties Aroma and Excelsior. The berries are almost round and bright red in 
color. The plant is a grand grower with healthy large dark green leathery 
foliage, and exceedingly prolific. ( See cut page 180). 
FEND ALL. (P.) (Midseason to late.) A magnificent variety, berries rich 
red, smooth and glossy. Largest size and superb flavor. Growth vigorous 
very deep rooting, season of fruiting very long. A very valuable introduction. 
FREMONT WILLIAMS. (Late.) A valuable late variety. The plants are 
healthy of medium size, compact, not subject to rust or mildew and very pro¬ 
lific. The berries are large and uniform, conical in shape and very firm. The 
surface color is a dark glossy crimson and that of the flesh light red. The 
flesh is of fine texture and the flavor all that could be desired. The calyx 
is large and separates readily from the fruit making it easy to hull. 
HERITAGE. (Midseason to late.) The plant is very large of extremely 
heavy texture. It is very deep rooting—drought and disease resisting and 
a prodigious yielder—from mid-season until very late of unusually large and 
beautiful berries of a dark shining crimson color and round-tapering, conical 
shape. The flesh is solid of fine texture and its delicious flavor is unsur¬ 
passed. 
MASCOT. (Late.) A new late sort of .-unusually large size and productive¬ 
ness*. ’ Season same as Gandy, lasting 'longer ^.nd usually producing a better 
crop of equally good berries. It has been found to do well on land too dry for 
Gandy. 
NORWOOD. (Medium early to'mid-season.) A Massachusetts production 
said to be a cross between Marshall and Corsican. The plamt is large and vig¬ 
orous, bearing for a long season enormously large berries generally rounded 
conical in form though sometimes flattened. Tjie color is bright rich red from 
surface to center and the quality excellent. (Sue cut page 180). 
RELIANCE. (Midseason.) This is a perfect flowered variety, ripens with 
the “ Marshall ” and has along season. It is remarkably uniform in shape for 
such a large berry. The quality is unsurpassed, juicy, luscious, solid to the center 
the flavor being what is generally known as “ mild.” The color is dark crimson 
very glossy and attractive, remarkably even all over.
