Everbearing Strawberries 
Progressive, Pre-eminently a bome-gai-den berry, although 
the fruit may be shipped short distances if 
properly packed. The method of raising these berries is the 
same as for the other sorts, excepting that for the first season 
all blossoms that come before the first or middle of July should 
be cut off. The berries are of medium size, but the plants bear 
.so freely that one forgets the size and is amazed at the quan¬ 
tity; and the supply does not fail until after severe frosts 
come. The berries are delicious during the whole season. See 
prices in regular list. 
Superb. This variety is well named, and it is often a question 
whether Superb is not the equal of Progressive. So far as 
growth is concerned the two are almost identical, but Superb 
does not bear such great clusters of fruit. Superb seems to be 
a better variety for the North than the South. 
Early Strawberries 
Mitchell’s Early. Extra early. Healthy, rampant, many 
crowns; berries scarlet, rich, mild, acid. 
Campbell’s Early. This berry has “made a hit” with growers 
in New Jersey, who say it is productive aud profitable. 
Premier. Extra early. Fruit large, deep red clear through to the 
center. Specially I’ecommended for home use aud in markets. 
Midseason Strawberries 
Klondyke. Berries uniform, shapely, rich dark red, mild and 
delicious, very juicy, and handsome; sell quickly. 
Plants are tall, compact; stalks strong; leaves light green. 
Abundant runners and an unusual number of crowns. Yields 
are wonderful. Blossoms are perfect but do not fully fertilize 
themselves and need other sorts near. The name is suggestive 
of the results this variety brings — often a gold mine would fall 
behind this Strawberry in bringing profits. Our best-paying 
early berry. 
Big Valley. Because of its high quality it is recommended as a 
home garden berry. In size of fruit and general characteris¬ 
tics it is similar to New York.
