Once TTlore IDe Hand, it to the — EUERBEARERS—

After such a season as the last, with the greatest drouth on record, at least for the thirty years I have been growing strawber- ries— the nearest to a failure — but after all the surest stand-by that we could have grown — with all due credit to the June varieties — once more we hand it to the Everbearers — the money-makers here at Round Lake Fruit Farm.

THE BERRIES SAUE THE DAI]

There was a lack of rains from the beginning to fill the swamps as usual. Later on the huckleberries dried up on the bushes. Potatoes were about one-fourth a crop. Our rye — about nine acres — badly winterkilled, fifteen bushels per acre. Corn — ten acres — about thirty bushels per acre. The beans we grew to help out “over there” — about two bushels per acre and so on all around. But what’s the use? We are farmers in a way, but our business is Strawberries — growing other crops between for the rotation and the berries saved the day. The rains came in the fall and saved the plants, well rooted, clean and healthy. We have the marsh hay ready for mulching when it freezes hard; moss gathered for the packing in the spring and wood to burn if Uncle Sam wants coal. With another big buzz pile of wood out there to keep the home fires burning through the winter, we should worry — tomor- row is another day.

Houj About Hill Culture— just a Hint

-V

We made a drive last spring to get our plants out early and all but the latest setting was a perfect stand — the call for plants had left us only odds and ends of rows and fewer still of the Ever- bearers for the regular June fruiting which was in full swing when there came four or five days of extremely hot, dry winds that finished things complete — so far as the June fruiting was con- j cerned — yet not entirely complete for there were mother plants and others, here and there, that had been left to fruit or over- looked in digging, that ripened up fine berries after that, showing the after-effect of something like a late spring cultivation, com- parable to a sort of rough hill culture as you might say — where we dug the plants. The Everbearers, as always, were the first to | ripen in the spring and these were well along — what few there were — and ripened every berry to the last.

Note — It is to be remembered that the Everbearers produce a full i crop all at once, in June, like ordinary sorts, after which, it is our way to plow them under with the June varieties, depending on a new setting out of all varieties each spring and for the fruit, what- ever is produced in June — but mainly from the Everbearers fruit- n in^ August 1 to cold weather, sometimes to Thanksgiving.

We had kept the new set Everbearers disbudded until well rooted, making runners freely, about July 15, to begin their fruit- ing, Aug. 1, but after several pickings and still no rains to more than lay the dust, we stripped the plants on all the higher ground of blossoms, buds and fruit, allowing them to bear only in the lower spots and where there was more moisture, for no variety — short of irrigating — could be expected to keep on making plants, much less while producing fruit in such a drouth as these were doing and we had planned for twice as many Everbearing plants for our trade next spring.

It is characteristic with the Everbearers that some plants go almost entirely to fruit instead of plants — and if there is a drouth, this percentage is increased and the fruiting more and more per- j sistent — by nature, as a class, they are best, the ideal varieties for hill culture.

By chance, or rather by our plan of growing clover and other crops in rotation with our berries, it happened that about one- third of our Everbearers had been set out on lower ground that always had been safe from drouth and here the fruit was extra- ordinary large and fine throughout, with plants galore. So that for the whole setting out, we figure about half as many plants as we should have had with an ordinary season.

We have grown certain of the Everbearerc at the rate of $1,000 worth of fruit per acre, within six to seven months from the setting out on ordinary upland, without manure or fertilizer — but

Inot this time, unless in spots as mentioned. Other certain sorts are less productive in the fall — some of which we have discarded — but there is not an Everbearer that we know, including twenty- five or more varieties here on trial, but will equal or outyield the iverage June variety at the regular June fruiting, regardless of the quantity of fruit produced the summer and fall before. We sold, last fall, at 28 and 30 cents per quart, wholesale, but could have got more if _we had asked it, since there was little other home jrown fruit in market for a long time.

We still grow Dunlap and certain other best June sorts, but we are cutting out the less desirable more and more each year as we are finding out the greater possibilities of the Everbearers, the hardiest, most productive, most dependable and most valuable of all varieties, and growing better every year.

OUR QUARAUTEE, TERRIS, ETC.

Our plants are fresh dug at time of shipment, from new beds, carefully trimmed, re-sorted to best grade only, and tied in bunches. Good count and true to name, and are put up with finest moss in packages, if to go by mail, or in market baskets lined with moss and oiled paper or light, ventilated crates, to carry safely by ex- press at lowest rates.

We guarantee our plants to reach their destination in good condition by express or mail to all parts of the U. S., with the understanding that we shall not be held liable for more than the original cost of the plants in any case. Should a package go astray, be damaged or destroyed en route, plants missing, or any error we have made, please notify us at once.

All orders promptly acknowledged and notice sent when plants are shipped, except where forwarded at once by return mail. Our Certificate of Inspection is attached to every shipment.

Canadian shipments must go by express, as plants from the United States are excluded from the mails by the Canadian author- ities.

We begin our shipment south as soon as we can dig in spring, usually about April 1, sometimes in March, and push the work as fast as possible with a view to send out every order just when it is wanted. We like to have our customers say when, when ordering, or say, ship when notified, and then let us know a few days in ad- vance. When orders are to “ship at proper season,” we know what it means and plan accordingly. We do not substitute without per- mission.

Terms: Cash with order, but orders will be booked to hold

plants if part payment is enclosed, the balance to be sent before shipment. Remittances may be sent by postoffice or express mon- ey order, bank draft or check, or small sums in one or two cent stamps. A check is often more convenient for our customers and by courtesy of our bankers is equally acceptable with us.

THE EUERBEARERS

Mark out in 3-foot rows. For plants 18 inches in the row, it takes 9,680 plants per acre. Keep plants disbudded until well es- tablished, growing good — about July 10 — then let fruit at will throughout the summer and fall. Hill culture consists in keeping off all runners, admitting of more thorough cultivation — a stronger root growth, multiple crowns, etc.

AMERICUS EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES

ATIIERICUS

(Per.) ( Everbearing)

One of the best known and most prominent of the new ever- bearing recently introduced. A seedling of Pan-American and Louis Gauthier, from the same batch of seedlings as No. 1 (Fran- cis), foliage a little larger, a shade lighter in color. A good heavy root system; a better plant maker. Americus is strongly stami- nate. Plants are strong, healthy and deep rooters. The fruit is firm, medium to large in size, light red, heart shape of fine texture, quality extra good; fruit stems stout, holding large berries high froip the ground. Unless repeatedly disbudded it will bear con- stantly from June to November. A fairly free plant maker and young runner plants begin to bear as soon as they begin to root. (From our 1913 catalog.)

We were sold out of this again last spring as also others of the everbearers. In fact, if we could have supplied one-half as many plants of the leading sorts — in a wholesale way — to nursery- men who have applied to us already, we should not have them now to offer in our catalog. Americus is all and more than has been claimed.

The above is from our 1916 catalog. Americus is leader of the everbearers in the order of its introduction, and still is leading alongside of Progressive and growing better every year. It is a reliable fall cropper, some say the largest and the finest. We had a few plants left to fruit among the June varieties last season at the regular June fruiting. They not only produced abundantly as any of the June varieties, as all the everbearers do in June, but they were among the largest and the finest on our grounds, and first choice with our pickers who delighted to get after them. What shall we say for an everbearer that will yield a greater profit in fruit before the first snow flies (six months from the setting out) than a June variety will do in June (fifteen months from the setting out) and then buckle in and equal or exceed the June variety at its own game? (From our 1917 catalog.)

We have copied all of the above from former catalogs to show the growing popularity of this variety. Last spring, we were sold out again as usual, but before that we made an early drive to get out more of them ourselves. In spite of drouth, we have more than twice as many for our customers this time and the plants are fine.

PROQRESSIUE

(Per.) ( Everbearing)

Originated in 1908 by Harlow Rockhill of Iowa, the originator of Americus, Francis, Iowa and others. Parentage Pan-American and Dunlap — the only plant seed saved out of 4,000 seedlings.

Progressive is the most vigorous and thrifty grower of any of the everbearers that we list. With tall, luxuriant foliage to protect the bloom and fruit from the hot sun and frosts. Practically every blossom makes a berry and every berry makes a perfect fruit. Medium in size, dark red, fine quality and produced in great abun- dance on the spring set plants and runner plants throughout the summer and fall — the first of all varieties, whether June or ever- bearing, to ripen on the year-old plants in spring.

We realize it would be an error for us to underrate or over- state a single feature of this most important variety offered to our customers, in 1913 at $75.00 per 1,000 plants and selling to our com- petitors as well, in large amounts. It is not the largest of the ever- bearers, averaging in size about like Dunlap. We call it the Dun- lap of the everbearers, reminding us of that grand variety in many ways — both plants and fruit. Like Dunlap — most famous of all June varieties — so will Progressive, with its Dunlap-blood, trans- mitting all its virtues, and others in addition, long reign — a stand- ard for the everbearers.

SUPERB

(Per.) ( Everbearing)

A seedling of Autumn crossed with Cooper. A healthy grow- er and makes runners freely. Our plants were from Mr. Cooper (the originator,) who considers this the best of the everbearers

Superb certainly is a valuable variety. Our customers who grow it in hills for fruit alone, report high prices and great profits in the fall. As grown by us in matted rows for plants and fruit, it is more moderately productive in summer and fall than are the Rockhill varieties — Americus, Francis and Progressive — but the fruit is always extraordinary large and handsome and pays us well if only for the fall — six months from setting out — but more than this, it produces enormously the next June on year old plants, ranking with the largest and most productive June fruiting sorts. As showing what we think of this variety, we are giving it more space than any of our June varieties, but the demand for paints is always more than our supply. We were sold out of it again last spring, and could have sold every plant we had of it last fall to bigger business if we would.

Above is from our 1916 catalog. Superb has become a great

commercial variety. While not as firm and such rich flavor as Americus or Progressive, it is a moneymaker of the highest order.

V' FRATIC1S

(Per.) ( Everbearing)

One of the finest. Fruit large, handsome and attractive. An exhibition berry. A most persistent fruiter. The spring set plants bear so heavily that, as a rule, they make but few new plants, which also bear fine fruit, often before well rooted in the soil, so that unless repeatedly disbudded it makes few plants and mostly rather small.

FRANCIS EVERBEARING STRAWBERRES

Francis is a wonder anywhere, but for the specialist it is a prize. Who that knows it has not had visions of a solid acre for the city market? We sold the plants last year at $25.00 per 1,000; elsewhere they were $75.00 per 1,000. We were sold out as usual. The demand has never been supplied. We have already booked a large quantity and can only offer it this year in small amounts. Try a few plants on strong, sandy loam.

Above is from our 1916 catalog. Every year, without excep- tion, we have dug up every plant to sell or set. Last spring we managed to double our resetting and would have doubled that if we had had the plants.

PEERLESS

(Per.) ( Everbearing)

New. Our plants were received last spring from Samuel Cooper, the originator, who said that he regarded Superb the best of his originations until he developed the “Peerless,” which for four years had proved to be more productive, of larger and bet- ter quality of berries than the Superb. That he was confident when enough plants can be grown that it would be the leader as a fall bearer, and also for the main crop in the spring.

We paid Mr. Cooper $10.00 per dozen for the Pan-American many years ago, and more recently $5.00 per dozen for the Superb, and now $5.00 per dozen for the Peerless. The plants have made a strong, vigorous growth in spite of the drouth, and the variety promises to prove all claims. We will wait and see.

Above is from our 1917 catalog. Many are inquiring ^ about this new variety. To all we say that we are now regarding Peer- less” as fully equal to “Superb” in all ways, superior in quality and more productive in the fall.

OTHER STIIAIX FRUITS

THE JURE UAR1ETIES

We are now growing Dunlap, Dr. Burrell, K’s Premier and K’s Prize more extensively for our trade and for our own fruiting than all others of the June varieties. The “Dunlap” (Senator Dun- lap) is the best known, early and mid-season variety. “Dr. Bur- rell” is very similar to “Dunlap” — as good, if not better. “K’s Premier” is our best first early among June varieties — a good grower and early — while the fruit is large and fine — as productive as Haverland or any others of the old standbys and with “K’s Prize” for late it would be hard to pick a better big four combina- tion for the market among well tried varieties. With us, the early sorts pay best. Aside from the Progressive — earliest of all at the regular June fruiting — followed by the other everbearers, comes K’s Premier, Dunlap, Dr. Burrell, Warfield, Haverland, Joe John- son, Paul Jones, Uncle Jim, K’s Prize, etc. Many varieties are being tried out here as usual — but more and more we are deter- mined that, whether June or everbearing, they must be something more than pretty good to win and hold a place in our selected list.

PRICE LIST

Six plants of one variety at dozen rates; SO plants of one vari- ety at hundred rates; 500 plants of one variety at 1,000 rates. (P) for perfect. (I) for imperfect blossoms.

The everbearers are in blackface type.
