are much superior to the ordinary ground layers usually sold, as there is no loss of
fine roots in taking them up, consequently transplanting scarcely checks their growth.

Plants will be ready about August Ist, and if set out any time before September
15th they should grow into fine plants and bear a full crop of luscious fruit the next

season.

appearance. The berries, when good
and ripe, are rather dark, like Marshall.

and delightfully mind wild strawberry

FROM .PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK 3

_ GLEN MARY (Mid-Season, Perfect
Flowering). We especially recommend it
for the home garden and nearby markets.
In size the berries average extraordinarily
large, twelve specimens will fill a quart;
the size holds up well until the end; in
shape the berries are broadly heart-shaped,
often winding at the tip; color dark glossy
crimson, fairly firm and of excellent
quality; plant strong and healthy. Price,
pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or
over sold at the hundred rate.

JOE (Joe Johnson, Big Joe) (Mid-
Season to Late, Pistillate). This most
valuable strawberry ripens just after the
Chesapeake, equals it in size, firmness
and yield, surpasses it in color and flavor,
but unlike it, succeeds upon almost all
soils, and under all conditions, hence it
is more valuable. Price, pot-grown
plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or over sold at
the hundred rate.

JOHN H. COOK (Mid-Season, Perfect
Flowering). This is the finest of all the
wonderful Van Fleet Hybrids. It is an
enormous cropper, ripening with the
second early varieties. The berries are of
exquisite quality, blood red in color, and
very firm. Of superlative excellence for
the home garden, and of untold value to
the market grower. In delicious flavor it
closely approaches the wild strawberries.
. Price, pot-grown plants, $8.00 per 100; 25
or over sold at the hundred rate.
MARSHALL (Mid-Season, Perfect
Flowering). It is the first of the extra
large berries to ripen, and although of
great size, the fruit is rarely ever mis-
shapen. The color is a rich glossy crimson
running well into the flesh, and the quality
is far above the average. As to produc-
tiveness, it will not yield as large a number
of berries as some varieties, but when
measured in quarts or bushels, will be
above the average. Price, pot-grown
plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or over sold at
the hundred rate.

NEW YORK (Mid-Season, Perfect
Flowering). The plant is an unusually
robust grower, making but few runners,
throwing its strength and vigor into the
magnificent berries which are produced
in great abundance. They are of im-
mense size, sometimes measuring over
seven inches in circumference, and. in
form very handsome and regular; of a
rounding conical shape. Color: crimson-
scarlet dark, rich and inviting, coloring
all over, leaving no green tops. Price,
pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or
over sold at the hundred rate.

NICK OHMER (Mid-Season. Perfect
Flowering). The plant is very large and
stocky, sending out plenty of very strong
runners. It is probably not surpassed in
healthy, virogous growth and great pro-
ductiveness by any variety. It has a
perfect blossom. The fruit is of the very
largest size, a giant among strawberries.
It is never mis-shapen. Its only depar-
ture from the regular, roundish, conical
form is when, under high culture, it is
somewhat triangular. It is dark glossy
red, firm and of excellent flavor. Price,
pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or
over sold at the hundred rate.

SHARPLESS (Mid-Season, Perfect
Flowering). An old variety, but still one
of the most popular. Plant exceedingly
vigorous and hardy, enduring both heat
and cold without injury. Very productive.
Fruit extra large, light crimson, firm and
good quality. A profitable and reliable
variety for either market or home. Price,
pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or
over sold at the hundred rate.
STEVENS LATE CHAMPION (Late,
Perfect Flowering). One of the latest of
the late, it is also one of the best either
for the home garden or for market. It is
a big producer of fine large, bright colored
berries holding up in size well to the very
end of the season. Its very late bloom
makes it immune to late spring frosts,
and it is in full fruit when most other
varieties have entirely finished their
fruiting season. Price, pot-grown plants,
$6.50 per 100; 25 or over sold at the
hundred rate.

SUCCESS (Early to Mid-Season, Perfect
Flowering). The berries are of large
globular form, slightly conical, and of a
light bright scarlet; the flavor being always
fine, mild, sweet and rich. They are a
little soft for shipping, but this fact em-
phasizes their superiority for the home
garden. The plant is a vigorous, strong
grower, free from rust and abundantly
productive. We unreservedly recommend
it for the home garden. Price, pot-grown
plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or over sold at
the hundred rate.

WILLIAM BELT (Mid-Season, Perfect
Flowering). A luxuriant grower, healthy
and hardy, very productive, and the

berries are very large. Shape rather long,
conical and quite uniform. Color, deep
glossy red all over. It is as firm as or-
dinary berries, and of a better quality
than is often found in large varieties.
Price, pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100;
25 or over sold at the hundred rate.

4 FROM PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK

PROLONG THE SEASON; 3
UNTIL FROST riantine FALL-FRUITING
STRAWBERRIES

The varieties described below will produce fruit at the same season as the ordinary strawberries,
and keep on bearing until frost; yet to get the best results the blossoms should be kept cut off until August
1st, so as to conserve the energies of the plants for the fall crop. Treated in that way, ripe fruit will be
borne in about three weeks after that date and continuously until frost.

ADVANCE

The plant is medium-sized, with foliage a shade lighter in color than Progressive,
has a good heavy root system, and is a fairly good plant maker; strongly staminate
blossoms. The fruit is light red, heartshaped, of fine texture, good quality, half the
size of Brandywine. Stout fruit-stems hold the fruit well off the ground. Price, pot-
grown plants, $9.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate.

CHAMPION EVERBEARING

This is one of the newer varieties that promises to be a decidedly more prolific sort
than Superb, which it resembles in habit of growth and appearance of fruit. Price,
pot-grown plants, $10.00 per 100; 25 or over, sold at the hundred rate.

FRANCIS

Plant, medium sized; foliage, medium sized and round, with a hard glossy surface;
root system, medium; fruit, medium to large, rather long and of a nice, glossy red;
quality, sweet and good. A fair plant-maker, a strong staminate, fruit-stems long,
and cannot hold its load of fruit from the ground. A sure variety to fruit on new plants.
Price, pot-grown plants, $9.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate.

LUCKY BOY
Claimed to be “the biggest, sweetest, and most productive ever-bearing strawberry
as yet produced.” From its behavior with us and the enthusiastic reports we have

received from other growers, we feel it is destined to be the “‘ever-bearing variety of
the future.’’ Price, pot-grown plants, $10.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred

rate.
MINNESOTA

Very popular throughout the Middle West; quite similar to Progressive; possibly
a trifle larger. Price, pot-grown plants, $9.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred

tate.
PROGRESSIVE

A splendid grower, healthy and hardy. very productive. The plant is of medium
size, the blossom strongly staminate and very resistant to heat. Both blossoms and
fruit are well protected by the strong healthy foliage. The fruit is rich and sweet; a
deep red inside and out; of good medium size, with a slight neck and quite firm. Plants
set in August and September fruit the next spring and on the new runners from July
until frost. Price, pot-grown plants, $9.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred

rate.
- SUPERB

No other Fall-bearing variety is so well known or so largely planted. It yields a
good crop both summer and autumn. Pot-grown plants set out in summer yield a
few berries the first autumn, and a fine crop the following year. The berries are nearly
round, smooth, dark crimson, glossy, of sweet mild flavor and larger than those of
the Progressive. Plants are vigorous for a Fall-bearing variety, with clean, dark-
green leaves. Price, pot-grown plants, $9.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred
rate.

or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants they send out, and they will not be in any way responsible for
