PETER HEXDERSOX & CO.. XEW YORK.— POT-GROWX STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 



AUGUST LUTHER. 



{Extra Early — Perfect Flowering.) 



A valuable Extra Early Strawberry. It was the earliest 

 variety on our grounds last season, giving the first ripe berry 

 on June 4th. and three days later the plants were full of 

 bright red. roundish conical berries, firm and of excellent 

 quality for so early a berry. While we do not claim for this 

 variety extraordinary size ot fruit, yet it produces it in such 

 abundance that the aggregate weight will compare favorably 

 wth the best of the large-berried sorts, and it continues to 

 yield during a long season.

BUBACH, 



(.Mid-season— Pistillate. ) 

 Probably the best-known and most popular of all la-_-c 

 strawberries. It is a wonder in its season of fruit, cot&pletel 

 covering the ground about the plant with large berries The 

 berries are remarkably large and continue large to the last 

 picking: roundish, slightly fattened and unusually creased o>i 

 one or both sides, medium firm and quality good ; color orange 

 scarlet, ripening well and even. It is certainly the 

 yielder of big fruit that grows. The plant is a beauty, strong, 

 healthy, vigorous; but unfortunately for us a poor producer 

 of runners. It is strictly pistillate and requires some bi- 

 sexual variety to be planted near to pollenize it. Price {pot- 

 grown plants), 50c. per doz.; S3.50 per 100; S30.00 per 1000.

The Grand Strawberry " Brandywine." 



{Mi iseason to Late- 

 Although the Brandywine has only recently been offered 

 to the public, yet it is already world famous from the superla- 

 tively flattering reports in the Horticultural press from the 

 experiment stations and from strawberry critics to whom a 

 few; plants were given for trial. It has been thoroughly test- 

 ed in many parts of the country and has given universal satis- 

 faction, in fact, we doubt if any strawl>erry ever before has 

 received such enthusiastic praise over so wide an extent of 

 territory. 



The berries of the "Brandywine" are magnificent and of 

 immense size — very firm, solid and shapely for so large a 

 berry. In general it is broadly heart-shaped without neck, 

 occasionally fruits will be tound shaped as if two berries were 

 joined together; flesh red to the core, of delightful aroma.

 rich, juicy and luscious. The seeds arc but slightly imbedded 

 which adds to its firmness. The color is of a rich, dark 

 glossy scarlet. Colors uniformly all over, no white blotches 

 nor green tips, and its large green calyx greatly adds to the 

 attractiveness of the fruit. In productiveness the Brandy- 

 wine strawberry is truly a marvel, both in size and quantity 

 The splendid large berries are home on stiff, stout stems.
