STRAWBERRY PLANTS.

All the varieties offered are perfect-flowering (bisexual) except where marked P. The latter
are pistillate and require a row of a perfect-flowering sort planted every 8 or 10 feet to
pollenize their blossom.

These, if planted in July and August, produce a large crop the next summer. Being grown
in pots they may be shipped to a distance and planted with almost no interruption to
their growth. ‘The plants may be set in beds of three rows one foot apart and one foot
distant in the rows, with a space of two and one-half feet between the outside rows of
adjoining beds left for a pathway. They may also be planted in single rows three feet
apart and one foot apart in the rows.

POT-GROWN PLANTS. From 2} in. pots, well rooted; delivery in July and
August. Per 100, $3.50; 250, $8.00; 500, $15.00; 1000, $30.00; for
all varieties, except where otherwise priced.

Alpha. A new very early variety, producing strong, vigorous plants which are very pro-
ductive. The fruit is of large size, attractive color and fine quality. .75 per dozen;
$5.00 per 100.

Exeelsior. ‘This is decidedly the best early Strawberry and the earliest good strawberry.
The fruit is of round conical form, glossy, dark-red color, and of mildly acid flavor.

Sueecess. Large, round, bright scarlet, flavor always fine.

St. Louis. A very productive, early variety, with large berries, similar to Excelsior.
The plant is of vigorous growth and a good sort for the home garden.

Suburban. This berry is exceedingly productive, thriving well on light land, and is con-
sidered one of the best new sorts. Fruit large, conical, firm and of good flavor. $4.00
per 100; $38.00 per 1000.

Early Ozark. One of the most productive early varieties, producing large dark-red
berries of rather acid flavor but very delicious. The plants are of vigorous growth with
fine dark-green foliage. $4.00 per 100; $38.00 per 1000.

SECOND EARLY.

Climax. This is an extremely popular new variety, immensely productive, the berries being
slightly over medium size. Plant vigorous, healthy grower, of a peculiar shade of green that
can be distinguished from other varieties.

Glen Mary. Large, conical, bright red berries; firm and of fine flavor.

Sample. P. Excellent for either market or home use; prolific, large, firm, and delicious.

Senator Dunlap. Mr. Crawford, at the time of its introduction by him, said that he
doubted if he had ever sent out a berry better than Senator Dunlap. It will keep in fair
condition for several days on the vines after being ripe enough to pick. The fruit is large,
rich and dark red clear to the centre, with a very rich flavor.

MEDIUM.

Abington. Astrong growing native variety of recent introduction. The fruit is of large size,
bright red in color, very solid and of excellent flavor.

Barrymore. ‘This new strawberry was awarded a Silver Medal by the Mass. Hort. Society in

STRAWBERRIES. — Continued.

MEDIUM.

Brandywine. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect in form, bright red in color, firm flesh, red
to the centre and of rich spicy flavor. A great cropper especially on heavy soils, holds its
fruit well up from the ground and generally succeeds everywhere. _

Golden Gate. A strong growing variety bearing rich crimson fruit without green tips and with
quality similar to the Marshall. It blooms early and late, making it a good variety to pollenize
the pistillate sorts.

King Edward. A very productive mid-season variety with large conical glossy-red berries of
delicious flavor. The plants are of strong healthy growth with large dark-green foliage.

Longfellow. The plants of this fine new variety are of vigorous growth and very productive.
Fruit highly colored, conical in shape and inclined to be long.

Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, of handsome, glossy, dark
crimson color, and of delicious flavor. It is one of the best midseason berries, either for private
use or market. It is a vigorous grower and requires good soil and high cultivation. As it
does not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted extensively until its adaptability is ascer-
tained.

New York. One of the best sorts for private or market gardens. The berries are large, of
conical form; dark red color, firm texture and of remarkably sweet flavor. In the market they

sell at sight.
LATE TO VERY LATE.

Belmont. This old favorite is still considered by many to be the finest late berry. The
fruit is of handsome appearance and keeps well.

Chesapeake. The plants of the Chesapeake are large and vigorous with rich dark green foliage.
The fruit is of large size, deep red in color and of a rich aromatic flavor.

Commonwealth. This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing large conical, deep crimson
fruit, sweet and of quality equal to the well-known Bubach. Not only an extra large berry,
but also very productive, of deep rich color and solid. It is smooth and quite juicy.

Gandy. This popular old variety is probably known by most berry growers. It is more largely
grown than any other late variety. On sandy soils it is unproductive.

Minute Man. P. A very productive sort, of fine quality.

William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the list. The berries are
as large, with some specimens larger than the Bubach. Its color is a bright, glossy, deep red:
season as late as Gandy.

Brandywine.

ALPINE VARIETY.

“se barge Red Alpine. No one who has eaten the delicious little strawberries of the Alps will
ever forget their delicious aromatic flavor. We are now able to offer this large fruited variety
of the Alpine strawberry. Per doz., $1.00.

NEW EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY.

Superb. A variety of recent introduction, producing large glossy, dark red berries of good
quality. The plant is of compact growth and makes runners freely. When late fruit is desired
it is better to pinch off the first flowers, and also keep the runners cut, which will give vigor
to the later crop. 20c. each; $2.00 per doz.; $14.00 per 100. Ready August Ist.

ENGLISH VARIETIES. $1.25 per dozen; $9.00 per 100.

possesses all the qualities required in a good strawberry. Fruit large; conical and of a bright
glossy-red color.

British Queen. A popular English variety producing large, conical, pale red berries.

President. The fruit is crimson in color and of superior flavor; good for forcing

Standard. Very early, small, dark-red berries of fine flavor; forces well.

FARQUHAR’S NEW AND RARE PLANTS
FROM THE WILDS OF CHINA.

Collected for the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard
University by the indefatigable plant col-
lector, Mr. E. H. Wilson, in remote and
hitherto unexplored regions.

Gold Medal Awarded by the Massaehusetts Horticultural Society.

NUMBER of these plants were offered by us last year for the first time. We
now offer for the first time another group of these plant treasures.
They are attracting universal interest, many orders coming from Europe,
Japan and other distant parts of the globe.
They are unquestionably the finest plant novelties extant.

AMPELOPSIS Henryana. (Vitis Henryana.) In habit, this new climber
resembles our native woodbine. The ground color of the leaves is dark velvety
green, with the mid-rib and principal veins silvery white. The foliage has a very
striking appearance in autumn when the ground color changes to vivid red, the
mid-rib and vein remaining white. In Massachusetts, this vine requires protection
during winter, but would probably prove quite hardy south of New York, or
even farther north where the influence of the ocean moderates the temperature.

‘ AMPELOPSIS Thomsonii. (Vitis Thomsonii.) This charming new climber
_
Li is one of the most beautiful of the Woodbine family. It requires protection

during winter. The leaves are greenish purple above, and bright claret color
beneath; changing in the autumn to rich red. Award of Merit by the Royal
Horticultural Society of London. One year plants, each, 50 cts.; dozen, $5.00;

2 yearplants, each, 75 cts.; dozen, $8.00.

AMPELOPSIS aeconitifolius diseolor. A perfectly hardy vine, growing 8 to 10
feet tall, with elegantly dissected foliage and bright blue fruit; splendid for
trellises. Each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00.
BERBERIS brevipanieculata. A bush 4 to 6 feet tall with wedge-shaped small
leaves clustered together and assuming fine tints in autumn. The small yellow
flowers are freely produced on erect panicles 3 to 5 inches long. These are
followed by masses of salmon-red fruits in early autumn. The foliage is retained
very late. Its several fine qualities make this new Barberry one of the handsomest
and most distinct of its class. Offered for the first time last year. Each, $1.00;
dozen, $10.00.
BUDDLEIA variabilis Veitehiana. “Summer Lilac.’ Late summer and early
fall blooming shrub suitable for beds or masses in the shrubbery. The lilae-
colored flowers are borne in eylindrical tails 20 to 30 inches long at the ends
of the shoots. Awarded F. C. C. by the R. H. S., London. Each, 50 cts.;
dozen, $5.00.

BUDDLEIA variabilis magnifica. The individual flowers are larger than
those of Veitchiana, intense violet-purple in color with reflexed margins and orange
eye. One of the finest acquisitions of recent years. A fairly rich soil, sunny
position and abundance of water are the essentials for the successful culture

LILIES FOR FORCING.

The bulbs may be potted from August onward in a compost
of equal parts turfy loam, leaf mold, rotted cow manure, and
sand. It is best to start them in pots not exceeding twice their
own diameter, in which they may remain until started eight inches
or more. They should be transferred then to larger pots in which
to bloom, exercising great care not to disturb the roots or break
the soil from about them, and setting them considerably deeper in
the larger pots. This method prevents the soil from becoming
sour, and enables the roots forming at the base of the stem to be-
come feeders, greatly increasing the number and size of the blossoms.
Ij Lilies are wanted by mail, add 5 cents each for postage.

Giant Park Sprinkler. This Sprinkler is designed for watering large areas like public or private
parks, estates, polo or golf club grounds, baseball grounds, cemeteries and truck ga:dens,
quickly and economically. When in operation, the two spray arms slowly revolve, spreading the
water uniformly in a rain-like spray over an area having a diameter of 80 to 150 feet. The
capacity of the sprinkler varies from 100 to 200 gallons a minute according to the operating
pressure and is about fifty times that of the ordinary lawn sprinkler now on the market. The
necessary water pressure is about thirty pounds per square inch, and it is found that at this
pressure it takes about forty minutes at each set-up to wet the soil thoroughly six inches deep.
It does not flood or wash the grass roots. This machine has an average capacity of two acres
per day, and one man can easily take care of three machines. The great amount of time and
labor saved by using these sprinklers soon defrays the initial cost apart from the fact that no
other existing method will do the work so effectively or so greatly benefit the lawns and trees.
The machine is mounted on a substantial truck and is fitted for 2-inch or 21-inch hose
connection. Price, $60.00.

ENGLISH AND JAPANESE GARDEN CONSTRUCTION.

Rustic work is now regarded as an indispensable element in natural garden
composition.

Each situation calls for its own particular treatment, and we, therefore, aim to

adapt our work to its environment. For this reason, we rarely build two Pergolas
or Summer Houses alike.

We are prepared to furnish estimates on contemplated work. In our con-
struction we use red cedar, white cedar, black Canadian spruce and laurel.
