Under ordinary conditions they produce their main crop of fruit at the same time as other varieties and keep on bearing until frost. The proper plan is to cut off all buds as they appear until late in July, and thus conserve the strength of the plants for the fall crop. Treated in this way an abundant crop of berries may be looked for during September and October, or if the disbudding of part of the plants is discontinued late in June an almost continuous crop of this luscious fruit may be secured through- out the growing season. Good cultivation is essential to bring about the best results, a liberal mulching during the summer is beneficial and the plants should not be allowed to suffer for lack of water at any time. Peerless. A real fall-bearer—does not require disbudding and produces fruit until killing frost in November. The fruit and blossoms being protected by very heavy foliage from all but severe frost. The berry is large to very large and won- derfully attractive. Progressive. The most prolific fruiting, berries of fair size and produced in great abundance; they are of an attractive deep, glossy crimson color and of good flavor. Price.
