POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS, 
These, if planted in August or September, 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 earlier they are planted 
the larger the first season’s crop will be. 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. 
Bi-sexual or staminate varieties, marked S, are self-fertilizing. Pistillate, or imperfect varieties, marked P, 
require a staminate sort planted near them for fertilization. 
Pot-GRowN PLANTS. — From 21% in. pots, well rooted, delivery August Ist to Sept. 15. Per 100, $3.00; 250, 
$7.00; 500, $12.50; 1000, $25.00, for all varieties. 
BRANDYWINE, S. A large heart-shaped berry perfect in form, bright red in color, with flesh firm, red to the centre, 
and of rich, spicy flavor. Brandywine is a favorite midseason sort of excellent quality and a great cropper, 
especially on heavy soils. 
CiiIMAx, S. A seedling of the old Bubach, medium early, combining large size and fine flavor. It is an enormous 
bearer, the fruit being medium red, solid, and of fine form. It is highly esteemed for shipping. 
CLYDE, S. Medium early; very prolific and excellent market berry; color light red; superior flavor. 
EXceELsior, S. This is one of the earliest to ripen, and larger than any other early sort. The fruit is of round 
conical form, glossy, dark-red color, and of sprightly, mildly acid flavor. 
GLEN Mary, S. One of the best sorts either for family or market use. It ripens at midseason, the fruit being 
large with firm flesh of deep red color, all through, and of superior sweet flavor. Glen Mary is a vigorous 
grower, and one of the best pollenizers to plant with imperfect-flowered or pistillate sorts. 
HAVERLAND, P. One of the best sorts for light or medium soils; bearing an abundance of long conical scarlet 
berries, very uniform in size. Its flavor is strongly aromatic, resembling that of the old Charles Downing.
