KINDS OF EvERBEARERS
AVAILABLE TO GROWERS

Thirteen varieties of sever
bearing" strawberries are in the
trade at present. They are: Ad-
vance, Americas, Autumn, For
ward, Francis, Iowa, Onward,
Pan American, Peerless, Produc-
tive, Progressive, Standpat and
Superb. In addition, a variety
known as the Minnesota No.
1O17, distributed by the Mime
sofa State Horticultural society
and the Minnesota agricultural
experiment station, has been in
troduced. Only two of the va
rieties introduced, the Progress
sive and the Superb, have been
widely grown as yet. The Amer
icus is grown to a slight extent
and the others very little. The
Minnesota No. 1O17 has been
widely tested in Minnesota and
is grown to slight extent In
surrounding states. Farmers
Bulletin 9O1 of the United
States department of agricul-
ture describes these varieties in
detail and discusses their suit

Territories Produce More.

The two million people in Alaska,
Hawaii, Porto Rico, and Guam are try
ing to do their part for the food sup
ply. Through its experiment stations
in these possessions the United States
department of agriculture early in the
emergency started campaigns to in
crease food production To make the
territories less dependent upon the
mainland of this country for their sup
plies is the aim of the federal work
ers. Important results already have
been obtained.
Porto Rico, which formerly imported
more than $4,000 worth of beans an
nually from the mainland, now is in a
position to export this product The
Alaska stations have greatly increased
the areas sown to grains and now are
able to meet increased demands for
seed grains locally adapted The Guam

increased production of food. Hawaii
also has materially increased its pro-
duction of food crops. Before the war
Hawaii and Porto Rico imported some
$4,000. 900 worth OF food supplies from
this country annually. Many OF the ar
ticles imported can be grown success

then a period of comparative rest
when little fruit is produced, followed
by a long period when a fairly uniform
amount of fruit is borne.
Weather conditions play an impor-
tant part in the amount of fruit pro-
duced during the summer and autumn.
Only when the moisture supply and
other climatic conditions are favorable
can the yield be constant. For this
reason the results obtained from the
everbcaring varieties have varied
greatly in the different sections of the
country, and in different years. If a
long drought occurs while the plants
are fruiting, the berries become small
and the plants finally cease to bear.
Therefore they are not well adapted
to sections having long droughts ex-
cept when irrigation can be supplied.

DELICIOUS BERRY
THROUGH SUMMER
long-SeaSon Strawberries Have
Passed Trial Period.
OF REAL VALUE FOR MARKET
Heretofore "Everbearing" Varieties
Have Been Grown Chiefly by ANA
teurs and Commercial Crow
ers-Crop First Season.

Strawberries from your garden
throughout summer and autumn are
now a possibility as the result of the
perfection of 'everbearing' varieties
of this delicate berry. Everbearing
strawberries are not a brand new dis
covery, but heretofore they have been
grown chiefly by amateurs and COM
mercial growers who have tested them
In comparison with ordinary sorts. In
a recent publication of the United
States department of agriculture an
nouncement is made that a sufficient
number of trials of these varieties now
have been completed to indicate their
real value for home use and for mar
ket in certain sections of the country.
Primarily Northern Type.
The regions where it is known that
everbearing varieties can be grown
extend as far south as the northern
parts of Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas
and Kansas. South Of these, limits
there are probably points where they
may be grown with some degree of
success, but they are not definitely
known to succeed there.
The two leading varieties of this
type of strawberry, the Progressive
and the Superb, are notable not only
because they produce fruit from the
time of the usual crop until late sum-
mer or autumn, but also because they
are exceptionally resistant to leaf
spot diseases. They are also very
hardy. The Progressive has been found
to Withstand the winters of the middle
West better than any other variety ex-
cept the Dunlap, one of its parents.
The Superb also is harder than most
varieties of strawberries. Another re-
markable characteristic of these varie-
ties is that if their blooms are killed
by frost they soon flower again. There
fore in many sections subject to late
spring frosts, which often destroy the
crop, these varieties are particularly
valuable.
Small Crop First Season.
If plants of the everbearing type are
set early in the spring, a small crop

SET STRAWBERRIES EARLY
TO GET FRUIT FIRST YEAR

Early spring-as soon as you
can get into the garden-is the
time to set "everbearing" straw
berries, or, in fact, any straw
berries. With such an early
start a larger crop of fruit can
be obtained the first year. The
plants also have opportunity to
become established and to de-
velop better root systems before
beginning to frUt. The mark
edly different behavior of the
long-season varieties has led to
the development of cultural
practices differing in special de-
tails from those followed in the
production of standard sorts.
Directions for the culture of the
everbearing types. in SO far as
the methods differ from ordi-
nary practices with strawber-
ries, are given in Farmers Bull
fetin 9O1 of the q. s. depart
ment of agriculture.

which have been set for a year give
fair yield at the time the usual
strawberry crop is borne. For the
period Immediately after this early
summer crop the amount of fruit Sc
cured is small. In August, September
and October it becomes larger and IN

mer or autumn crop from certain vari-
cites may equal or exceed the early
summer crop. Thus instead of a con-
slant supply throughout the season
there is a distinct early summer crop,
