Everbearing Strawberries 
Big, Luscious Berries Thru Late Summer and Fall Pay Big Dividends To 
The Commercial and Home Grower 
The “New” Plant-Spaced-Sawdust 
Mulch System Produces More 
Everbearing Strawberries. 
Diagram shows method of planting Everbearing Straw- 
berry patch that will produce heavy crop of delicious berries 
the first season. 
Note that plants are set in beds 4 rows wide with plants 
spaced 1 foot apart each way. 
A 24 inch path between the beds allows for picking, weed- 
ing, where necessary, or other work to be done. A patch 
15 by 40 feet will take 500 plants and should produce 100 
quarts the first season and thereafter. 
This new system first observed by us at Wooster, Ohio, 
2 years ago and repeated observation has proved the merit 
of growing Strawberries in this manner. 
Soil should be in prime condition with liberal amount of 
fertilizer worked into the soil before planting, or fertilizer 
can be applied with first working of the plants. SAWDUST 
should be 6 months to 1 year or more old and applied after 
first working and fertilizer is applied. You should put 1 inch 
of sawdust at first application thoroughly covering the sur- 
face and around the plants. more can be put on later but 
never have it more than 1% inches deep. All runners should 
be removed from plants as they form and grow them strictly 
by hill system. 
Space herein limits full description, but we invite you to 
write us for complete instructions on how to prepare your 
soil, set and care for your plants to fruit production. 
Any everbearing type of plant may be used, but such 
varieties as Mastodon, Superfection, Streamliner and Red- 
Rich seem to respond best. Write today for full directions. 
THE NEW 
red rich 
EVERBEARING 
TRADE MARK 
‘The Reddest, Sweetest, Tastiest Everbearing Straw- 
berry offered in years. Promises to be rated among 
the greatest everbearing varieties. 
‘MASTODON 
(EVERBEARER) 
It outyields some of our best June bearing sorts during 
their season and continues to bear throughout summer and 
tall berries of amazing size and superior quality, being very 
firm an@ attractive. For best results newly set plants should 
be disbudded up to July ist. They will then bear ’till frost. 
They are grown very successfully by hill culture methods as 
well as matted bed row system. Where hill culture is prac- 
ticed, set the plants 15 inches apart in the row and have 
rows from 2 to 2% feet apart. This produces strong, robust 
hills that produce very heavily. 
Proving More Outstanding And Dependable 
Each Year 
One of the good everbearing varieties of recent introduc- 
tion. Coming from the Middle West, it has adapted itself 
to our conditions on the Eastern Shore very readily. We 
find it to be an excelld4nt plant maker, very productive. 
Berries are large and real beauties of excellent quality. We 
can recommend Gem. 
Plant Bountiful Ridge selected heavy fruiting strain Gem 
for a dependable everbearer. 
~ STREAMLINER 
Reports Continue Favorable On This 
New Everbearer 
Public approval from many sections attest its fine quality, 
rich color and real strawberry flavor. Include a generous 
planting for year arecund goodness. 
Streamliner is probably receiving more publicity than any 
everbearing strawberry of recent introduction. Coming from 
the west it seems to be adapting itself to most central and 
eastern growing conditions. Plants seem vigorous and pro- 
duce good spring crops and bear almost constantly during 
late Summer and fall. Berries are medium to large, rich red 
color throughout, having a real strawberry flavor. Stream- 
liner makes a good fruiting bed and we recommend it for 
~ SUPERFECTION 
(EVERBEARER) 
It’S NEW — IT’S BEAUTIFUL — IT’S GOOD EATING. 
PLANT SOME IN SPRING, PICK BERRIES FROM 
LATE SUMMER UNTIL SNOW FLIES. 
Originated in Michigan and promises to take the place of 
many oldtime varieties due to its many excellent character- 
istics. The plants adapt themselves to any soil without extra 
care and are free plant makers. The berries are firm, large, 
round and red throughout, they have a good flavor and a 
pleasing taste. The berry is firm and does not dis-color 
when taken from the plant. Worthy of trial planting in 
all sections.

The ““‘RED-RICH” is the result of 15 years of experimenting and cross-breeding by Marion Hagerstrom, a Minnesota 
farmer, who has bred strawberry plants for more than 20 years. 
“RED-RICH” is a cross between Fairfax and Wayzata and produced 10,000 quarts per acre in the 1949 test plots. It 
is distinguished from all other strawberries by its deep red color which runs through the entire berry. 
The fruit keeps 
well after harvesting and may be held for several days in good saleable condition, so necessary to heavy production. 
The new plant makes possible for the first time a quick freezing and perfect thawing strawberry without loss of firm- 
ness, flavor or natural sugars, offering farmers a greatly expanded market. ; 
Plants available fall and spring. Order éarly.
