Fall bearing Strawberries of European origin have liltle value for planting in our trying climate. The two varieties offered below are of American origin, and under ordinary conditions produce their main crop of fruit at the same lime as other varie- ties and keep on l)earing 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 throughout the growing sea- son. Good cultivation is essential to bring about the best re- sults, a liberal mulching during the summer is beneficial and the plants should not be allowed to suffer for lack of water at any time. Progressive. The strongest growing and most prolific fruit- ing of the two varieties, berries of fair size and produced in great abundance
