Excerpt from Strawberries and Other Fruit Plants, 1921Superb (per.) The plants of the Superb are almost ideal growers. The runners are large, long and produce plants in wt abundance the first year. Most of these runners should be kept cut or the yield of fruit will not be large for the first year. The second year of growth, the runners do not bother much, and the yield of fruit will be large. In order to get a good crop of fruit the first year, we would advise clipping the runners and keeping the plants in hills. When runners are clipped the plants of Superb stool up and become immense in size. The berries of Superb are large, dark red glossy and the most beauti ful of all the fall bearing varieties. One 'year our plants were not set until July lst and did not make much run because it was so late and then it came on so dry all through the late summer and fall. As a result, the crop of fruit was fine. I had some very fine specimens of the Superb. We always prefer this variety to show at fairs and expositions. The Superb is not of high quality, much inferior to Americas and Francis in ¿avor. This seems to be its only fault. It is the favorite of most growers for market purposes being so large and of such fine color. The Superb is a seedling grown by Samuel Cooper of Cattaraugus County, N. Y.
