R. & J. FARQUHAR 6- CO.'S AUTUMN CATALOGUE. 



POT GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



These if planted in August or Septem = 

 ber produce a large crop the next sum- 

 mer. 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 a 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. 



Bisexual or stamenate varieties marked S, 

 are self fertilizing. Pistillate, or imperfect 

 varieties are marked P, require a stamenate 

 sort planted near them for fertilization. 



Prices : The Talbot, $4.00 per 100. 

 Nick Ohtner, $3.00 per 100. 

 Other varieties, listed, $2.50 per 100. 



THE TALBOT. (P.) This splendid new variety 

 is of even stronger growth than the now famous 

 Marshall Strawberry, and grown side by side with 

 that variety has produced much heavier crops. 

 The fruit is of bright red color, and does not turn 

 blackish when fully ripe, as the Marshall is inclin- 

 ed to do. It is of roundish conical form ; the flesh 

 being firm, close grained, and of delicious flavor. 

 When exhibited last year at the Worcester County 

 Horticultural Society's Strawberry Exhibition, 

 The Talbot received the highest award for excel- 

 lence overall other sorts. Being a native of New 

 England, the adaptability of The Talbot is as- 

 sured, and it cannot fail to become a popular and 

 profitable sort for both private use and the market.

fruit is not surpassed.
