SUPERFECTION Be&t £veSiheGSi>eti toe Itave eu&i 4ee,n The sensational results obtained with new varieties and new methods in the production of everbearers (see page 28) may and we hope will introduce a new era in the satisfaction and profits obtained from growing them. Superfection was used in achieving these results. After a second year's trial we are more convinced than ever that Superfection is the best everbearing variety we have ever grown. During the many years in which everbearers have been grown, the chief drawback has been lack of productiveness. Superfection goes a long way toward eliminating that weakness. It is most productive of late summer and fall berries—the out-of-season ones which are so desirable and so valuable. Mrs. R. G. Wyld of Monroe County, New York, in a letter dated April 29, 1950, reflects accurately our own experience with Superfection. "Just a word of appreciation to you for the fine Superfection strawberry plants you sent us earlier this year. We have just begun fruiting the bed of Allen's Superfection and find the yield and growth of the plants almost phenomenal for an everbearer. We find the Super- fection hardly distinguishable from our own Gem in size, shape and taste, although possibly more tart. On the first picking the yield was five times as great in quarts per plant, Superfection over Gem. We use your catalog much as a Bible on varieties with which we are not ; Superfection is supposed to be an improved Gem, and as Mrs. Wyld says it is very similar to Gem in all respects except yield. The berries are light in color, with a shiny skin which makes them very attractive in the package. They hold their light color with very little darkening. Where tried commercially the berries should be well received by consumers. In any attempt
