It® New Fall-Fruiting 
Strawberries. 
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 
continuously 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 advan¬ 
tage. High cultivation is essential for the 
best results in 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.

system, blossoms strongly staminate, fruit light red, heart 
shaped, of fine texture, good quality, half the size of Brandywine,

produced 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, 
20c. each, $2.00 per doz., $12.00 per 100. 
FRANCIS. Plant medium sized, root system medium, fruit 
medium to large, rather long and of a nice, glossy red; quality

not hold its load of fruit from the ground. A sure variety of fruit 
on new plants. Spring set plants fruit from July to cold^weather. 
Quite productive. Price, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz., $20.00 per 100.
