FARQUHAR’S 
POT-GROWN 
STRAWBERRY 
PLANTS. 
All the varieties offered are perfect-flowering (bi-sexual) 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 blossoms. 
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. 
FARQUHAR’S ‘‘SELECT’’ VARIETIES 
FIRST EARLY. 
Alpha. A new, very early variety, producing strong, vigorous plants 
which are very productive. The fruit is of large size, attractive 
color and fine quality. 
Excelsior. 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.

William Belt. 
SECOND EARLY. 
Glen Mary. Large conical, bright red berries; fine flavor. 
Senator Dunlap. Mr. Crawford, at the time of its introduction by 
him, said that he doubted if he had ever sent out a better berry 
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, and dark red clear to the centre, with a very rich flavor. 
MEDIUM. 
Barrymore. This fine strawberry was awarded a Silver Medal by 
the Mass. Hort. Society in 1908, for its excellence. The plants 
are of strong growth and very productive. The conical shaped 
berries are of medium size and of a dark, glossy, crimson color; 
the flesh is a rich red and very juicy. 
Big Joe. A magnificent new Strawberry of robust growth and very 
prolific. The berries are light crimson in color, unusually large 
and of fine quality. 
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 mar- 
ket. Itis a vigorous grower and requires good soil and high eulti- 
vation. As it does not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted 
extensively until its adaptability is ascertained. 
McAlIpin. This new variety was originated in New Jersey and is 
considered by many growers to be one of the best of the newer 
introductions. The berries are a beautiful scarlet in color, very 
large and of rich, luscious flavor. Very productive. 
Nick Ohmer. Dark, glossy red globular berries of superior flavor; 
fine for forcing. 
LATE TO VERY LATE. 
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. Thisis 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; solid and quite juicy. 
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 glossy, deep red; late as Gandy.
