I Gandy's Prize Autumn-Fruiting Strawberries Autumn-Fruiting or Everbearing Strawberries The Everbearing Strawberries have now become just as im- portant a part of the garden as the standard early fruiting varieties. After careful trials we have selected the two varieties offered below as the most desirable. 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 parts of the plants is discontinued late in June an almost continuous crop of this luscious fruit may be secured throughout 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.
