Kellogg’s Everbearers begin fruiting the first year about three months
after plants are set and continue to fruit heavily until checked by
severe winter weather. The following year they begin fruiting in June,
producing a spring crop fully as large as many of the standard varieties
and (after a rest period in July) another enormous crop during the
summer and fall. They are not affected by frost or light freezing. We
have picked and served delicious Everbearing Strawberries early in
December after a six-inch snowfall.
The high prices received for fall berries and the fact that Kellogg’s
Everbearers produce a substantial crop the same season the plants are
set, makes them highly desirable for the home garden or commercial
strawberry grower.
To anyone who never has grown or seen the Everbearers fruiting in the
fall and who is inclined to question their summer and fall fruiting
habits, we want to say that it is difficult--yes, practically impossible
to keep off the late summer and fall blossoms, so persistent is their
nature to fruit at that time.
They have been developed out of the experimental stage, their success is
absolutely unquestionable and we recommend them with our highest
endorsement.
As a result of weather conditions last summer, there is a very small
crop of Everbearing plants throughout the country and only by ordering
early can you be assured of getting them this spring.
