Dreer's garden book 1916 (1916) Dreer's garden book 1916 dreersgardenbook1916henr Year: 1916 Autumn Fruiting Strawberries The Two Best Autumn Fruiting Strawberries Fall Bearing Strawberries of European origin have fre- quently been offered, and while we have seen^good crops of fruit in specially favored localities during the late Summer and Fall months, none have been of value for general planting in our trying climate. The two varieties offered below are of American origin and have been grown in nearly all parts of the country with gratifying results; under ordinary conditions they produce their main crop of fruit at the same time as other varie- ties 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. 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. Superb. The berries are very large, regular in shape, glossy and attractive; quality extra fine. Progressive. This is the latest addition to the Fall-bearing type and a decided acquisition; it is prolific, with beautiful, good sized luscious fruit. Price.
