FARQUHAR'S 

 POT-GROWN 

 STRAWBERRY 

 PLANTS 



Strawberry 

 William Belt 



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 S or 10 feet to pollenize their blossoms. 

 These, if planted in July and August, produce a large crop the next Svunmer. 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.

 centre, with a v'ery rich flavor. It will keep in fair condition for 

 several days on the vines after being ripe enough to pick.

/"JBig Joe. A magnificent new Strawberry of robust growth and very 

 prolific. The h)crries are light crimson in color, unusually large and 

 of fine quality. 



MEDIUM. — {Continued) 



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" cultiva- 

 tion. As it does not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted 



y extensively until its adaptabilitj^ is ascertained. 



McAlpin. Very productive, and is considered by many growers to 

 be one of the best of the newer introductions. The berries are a 

 beautiful scarlet in color, vcrjr large and of rich, luscious_flavor. 



Nick Ohmer. Dark glossy red globular berries of superior flavor, 

 fine for forcing. 



LATE TO VERY LATE

 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 hern,-, but also very pro- 

 ductive, of deep rich color, solid and quite juicy. 



William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the 

 list. The large berries are glossy, deep red; late as Gandy.

FALL-BEARING STRAWBERRIES

 a late crop, the blossoms must he carefully kept off until July, or the plants will completely exhaust themselves before Fall. If the runners are 

 kept cut during the Summer, it will give additional vigor to the late crop.
