EVERBEARING 
FIRST YEAR 
The Everbearers are planted and grown the same 
as spring varieties. The difference being the Ever- 
bearers will keep on blossoming the entire year. At 
first keep the blossoms off as they appear but after 
the plants have been in the ground 75 days or if 
they were planted say April 1, 90 days, then make a 
complete job of taking the blossoms off. Also take 
off the large bud clusters. The small ones down in 
the crown are all right to leave. These will form your 
first fruit. From then on leave all blossoms on. The 
berries will begin to ripen about Aug. Ist and will 
continue until November 1st or hard freezing weather. 
Runners on the Everbearers ‘can be allowed to take 
root, so place them where you would like another 
plant. This also will produce fruit the first year. Do 
not|/let too many runners grow on the Everbearers, it 
takes away from quantity of fruit that you will get. 
This plant should never go in need of water. 
SECOND YEAR 
Early in spring cultivate or hoe all places possible. 
They will then bear a large crop of berries at the 
same time as other strawberries are getting ripe. 
After spring crop they will again bear the following 
fall after about 4 weeks rest. Although berries of 
either spring or fall crop will not be as large as Ist 
year. 
See that plants do not go in need of water through 
out the year. 
PLANTING 
If you are able to irrigate, plants can be planted 
6 — 10 in. apart in row and rows 2 — 3 ft. apart or 
any other variation of rows, all according to. how 
many runners are allowed to grow. 
No planting is hardly too thick as per example 
below. 
You can expect real results from the Everbearing 
Strawberry — about 1 quart from 3 plants, planted 
the first. year. 
This is my plan for. 100 quarts on a 15 x 15 foot 
Plot. Plant 4 rows, 15 feet long, side by side, 10 inches 
apart. Place plants in the row 10 inches apart. This 
makes 72 plants in these 4 rows. Now leave 20 inches. 
Repeat the same 4 rows. Leave again the same, 20 
inches. Repeat for 4 times. 15 feet will then be con- 
sumed. It will take approximately 300 plants. Any 
ordinary lawn sprinkler that will cover this amount 
of ground makes a fine irrigation. system.
