PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 3 



HENDERSON'S 



"GREAT RUBY" S TRAWBERRY. 



(Mid-season to Late — Pistillate.) 



This new seedling strawberry has proven to be one of the finest varieties ever 

 introduced. It has become a popular favorite with growers and consumers 

 of strawberries, particularly among those who desire the most uniformly handsome 

 and large, richly colored, delightfully flavored strawberry for the home table. Hen- 

 derson s " Great Ruby fills all of these requirements in a superlative degree. In 

 our fifty years of experience in testing, growjng and hybridizing strawberries, there 

 has been no variety that we could send out with the abiding confidence that we have 

 in Henderson's " Great Ruby. ' proving highly satisfactory to all purchasers. The 

 healthy, vigorous growth, remarkable productiveness, immense size, handsome uni- 

 form shape, deep lustrous crimson color, and. above all. the rich luscious flavor com- 

 bined with the delightful aroma, render Henderson s " Great Ruby ' peerless among 

 strawberries. It commences to ripen soon after the early varieties, and bears until 

 nearly all others are gone. 



The luxuriant growth of the plant and its remarkable deep- rooting qualities 

 enable it to produce beautiful large berries even during a dry season, when other va- 

 rieties are withered and fruitless.
