The Fall- Bearing Strawberry is a Decided Success and Making a Great Hit The best of all the fall-bearing varieties to date. It was introduced by Harlow Rockhill, of Grundy County, Iowa, and he considers it better than any other fall-bearing kind, and better than most of the single-fruiting varieties. It is a commercial success with him. It has usually been considered that fall-bearing Strawberries would not make plants freely and bed up like the spring-fruiting varieties. This theory has been completely knocked out by such fine varieties as Progressive and Superb. The photograph shown above was taken from some of our beds of Progressive plants; this shows that fall-bearing varieties do make suffi- cient beds. The Progressive makes plants almost equal to Senator Dunlap, and it is no uncommon thing to find a cluster of ber- ries on young plants of Pro- gressive even before they are rooted. We have frequently counted as many as one hundred to one hundred and fifty blossoms, green berries and ripe berries on a single plant: in fact, it produces so heavily that the blossoms must be carefully kept off until midsummer, or else the plants will completely exhaust them- selves before Superb (see page 24) bears large crops both in spring and fall they get a 23.
