STRAWBERRIES FROM SEED 
Here are Runnerless, Everbearing Strawberries, no run- 
ners to cut away, and fruits continually ripening from spring 
into late autumn. Since they make no runners, they must 
be grown from seed. Seeds sown in earliest spring, while 
soil is cool, usually give bearing plants by mid-August. The 
fruits are of medium size, smaller than in standard Straw- 
berries, but of delicious flavor and decorative appearance, the 
fruiting plants ornamental enough for edging or even a 
rock garden. Seeds fine; culture “kt.” Variety Harzland.
