STRAWBERRY CULTURE 
There are two distinct 
types of strawberry plants, 
based on their fruiting 
season, the Everbearing 
and the Junebearing. The 
Junebearing varieties pro- 
duce a single heavy crop 
each year starting about 
the 10th to 15th of June 
here in the upper Missis- 
sippi valley. The first crop is produced the 
year following planting. The everbearing 
produces two crops each year. The first 
one starts within two or three months after 
planting. The second season the everbear- 
ing produces the regular June crop and 
then after a brief rest period starts again 
to produce the fall crop. In most varieties 
the fall crop starts to ripen in late July 
or early August and continues until fall 
frosts have destroyed the blossoms. The 
daily harvest of the fall crop is much light- 
er, plant for plant, than in the spring, but 
considering the length of season, frequent- 
ly two or three months, the total amount 
is considerable. 
Planting—Strawberries should be set out 
only in the spring, preferably late in April 
or early in May. The plants should be set 
with the roots fully spread, the crown at 
the exact distance at which it grew pre- 
viously and moist soil thoroughly packed 
against the roots. “fi

Everbearing Varieties 
These varieties bear two crops a year. Plant 
this spring—pick this summer and fall until 
hard freezes kill all blossoms. 
You'll get back the price paid for plants, 
and most important, a big profit in the first 
year besides. You’ll harvest another fine crop 
the following June and fall—two crops in one 
year. 
EVERMORE (Minn. No. 1166)—The first ever- 
bearer to be introduced and named by the 
Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm in over 20 
years. It must be, and is, good. Named just 
this winter. An excellent plant maker for an 
everbearer, and usually very productive. The 
quality is very good and slightly acid. Has 
shown extreme hardiness and high ability to 
resist drouth. Supply very limited. Order 
early. 
GEM—Probably the most widely used and 
most generally planted of the older everbear- 
ers. Highly productive—a good plant maker, 
hardy, with large, bright red fruits slightly 
tart and of excellent quality. An ideal all- 
round berry for the Victcry Garden. 
GEMZATA—A newer variety than Gem. The 
originators claim for it all the good points of 
Gem, but with added quality—approaching 
that of the Wayzata. . pe 
MARVEL—A new variety originated a few 
years ago in northern Minnesota. Has shown 
good plant-making ability even on sandy soils, 
and considerable resistance to drouth. The 
fruits are of good size and color—and excellent 
in quality—probably the best of any of our 
everbearers. 
PROGRESSIVE (Everbearing)—One of the old- 
est varieties. but still popular in many sections 
for home gardens. Not as vigorous a grower 
as Gem. Berries much smaller than Gem but 
superior to it in quality. 
Junebearing Varieties 
Junebearers produce one crop each year— 
in June. Plants set out this spring will pro- 
duce their first crop next year. 
PREMIER—Aptly described as the one straw- 
berry without a fault. Although nearly a 
week earlier than the old Dunlap and other 
Midseason varieties, it maintains a heavy pro- 
duction over a long period. The firm, bright 
red berries maintain their large size well 
throughout the season. An excellent canner. 
The most popular early and mid-season berry. 
NOTE—Strawberry plants are very scarce 
this year. We suggest ordering early this year. 
Last year many were disappointed.
