Henderson's New Strawberry, ''REPEATER." 



TWO CROPS PRODUCED IN ONE SEASON. 



rOR SEVERAL seasons past our attention has been called to a Strawberry which made its appearance in the New 

 York market in September, and we were at first loath to believe that the fruit could be obtained under natural 

 conditions at that season of the year Investigation, however, showed that such was the case: the fruit was 

 picked in the open field from the same plants that produced a bounteous crop in June. The only special cultivation 

 given was to manure the beds after the crop was picked, and the vigor of the variety is such that it re- 

 sponded at once and produced a paying crop, not for one season alone, bat for three seasons. As a further 

 proof of this marvel, we may state that the leading market varieties, grown under precisely the same condi- 

 tions, failed to fruit the second time in the same season. The vigor of this variety is marvelous. Last season, during 

 the long dry spell, it grew continuously, never showing the slightest tendency to rest while standard varieties in the 

 same field ceased growing and rusted badly, another proof of its wonderful vitality— the secret, we believe, of its 

 ability to bear a second crop The commission merchant in New York who sells the fruit says that even in June it is 

 the best seller he handles, finding sale for it at an advanced price among the most fastidious of his customers. The 

 fruit is very large when well grown, a glossy crimson, delicious flavor, and a great point in its favor is that it is very 

 easily hulled. It is a perfect-flowered variety, medium to late. Price, {pot-grown plants) that will fruit next season, 

 3 plants for 25c, 12 for $1.00, 25 for $2.00, 50 for $3 75, 100 for $7.00.
