era—Crop First Season.
Strawberries from your garden
throughout summer atid- autumn are
now a possibility as the result of the
perfection of "everbearing" varieties
of Thts dcttd&te berry. Kyerbenring
strawberries are not a brand new dis
covery, but heretofore they have been
grown chiefly hy 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-
uoQocement is made that a sullielent
number of trials of these varieties now-
have been completed to indicate- their *
real value for home use and for mar- j
ket it> certain sections'of the eoQRfry. j]
Primarily a Northern Type.
The regions where it Is known that
everbearing varieties can he grown
extend as far south its 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, hut they are not definitely
known to succeed there.
The two lending varieties of this
type of strawberry, tfie Progressive
and tin* Shperb, are fiotable not only
because they prodmv"TriilJ - frpnTJIt
time of flic usual emp until lute sum
mer or autumn, but also because-they*
are exceptionally resistant "10” leaf-
spot diseases. They ,nre also yery
hardy. '1 lie Progressive has been found
to withstand the winters of the middle
West better than any other variety ex
cept the Punlap, one of its parents.
The Superb also Is hardier -than most
varieties of strawberries. Another re-
umrkalde chartfeteristic of these varie
ties is that if their blooms are killed
by fhist they soon flower again. There
fore in many sections subjecrTo late
spring frosts, which often destroy -the-
crop, these varieties are *purticuLarl.y
valuable. „

The grutind surrounding the typical
city residence.Is not a thing to catch
the eye In search of beauty. Usually it
Is'a fjnIn-expanse of lawn with here

Tho war garden movement last year
led many who had grown away from

It is the chickens hatched early in the
spring that give the best results.
Hatching should begin from February
1 In the South to March 1 In the North
and West, and should be completed by
May 1. The usual time for starting
the Incubators and sitting hens coip-
cides too closely w ith the. planting sea
son on the farms and hatching oper
ations are likely to be reduced on that
account. Therefore, hatch early.

SET STRAWBERRIES EARLY *•
TO GET'FRUIT FIRST YEAR
„ y Early spring—as wipn «s you
can get Into the garden—Is the
time to set “everbearing” straw
berries, or. in .act, uuy straw
berries. With such an early
start a lurger crop of fruit can
be obtained the flrst year. The
plants also have upporluuity to
become established and to de
velop better root systems'before
beginning to fruit. 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.

everbearing types', In so fur as
