SUPERFECTION 1 (Everbearing) 
Originated in northern Michigan by the man who discov- 
ered the famous Gem Everbearing. Berries are exceptionally 
large, shape roundish, and dark red all the way through, of 
firm texture and will stand long distance shipping. 
It starts ripening its fruit in June and continues on until 
November, and produces another fine crop the following 
spring—two crops in one year. It does well on most any kind 
of soil and will form fruit stems on runner plants. One hun- 
dred plants should produce enough berries for an average 
family. 
FALL PLANTING 
Remember, we do not start shipping plants in the fall un- 
til about October 15th. You have around six weeks after that 
to set them here in New England, and some years plants can 
be set up into December. Any time the ground can be worked 
before freezing, plants can be set. 
Above is pictured a Fall set Strawberry bed. Each plant 
is covered with 3 quarts of pine sawdust after the ground 
freezes or shortly before. Of plants set last Fall, our loss was 
about one percent. 
Cover each plant set in the fall with about three quarts of 
pine sawdust after or shortly before the ground freezes, to 
keep them from heaving. Eight or 10 inches in diameter and 
three or four inches deep is enough for strawberries. Brush it 
off the crowns in the spring, leaving the rest on the ground to 
work into the soil.
