PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.---POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS. i 
Bederwood 
Ghallenge 
(Mid-season—Perject Flower- 
ing.) 
A variety of surpassing 
merit. The plant is a large 
and strong grower—healthy 
in every way—rooting deeply, 
consequently a great drought 
resister. The size of the fruit 
and the abundance with which 
it is produced is wonderful. 
Even medium sized plants are 
“loaded ** down with hand- 
some berries. The berries av- 
erage very large—are quite 
uniform in shape—occasion- 
ally a little corrugated, but 
never coxcombed. ‘The color 
is bright to dark red, with 
glossy surface and dark red 
colored inside. ‘The quality is 
excellent, sprightly sweet with 
delightful aroma. 
Price (pot-grown plants), 60c

Downing’s Bride 
Bederwood 
(RACKSTER.) 
(Early—Perfect Flowering.) 
A new and exceedingly val- 
uable early strawberry. Con- 
ceded to be the best early 
berry for home use and worthy 
of great praise; pr ly the 
very best early variety ever 
introduced. It is not only 
very early, but immense] 
ductive. The plant is lt- 
of healthy, vigorous 
rrowth, and an enormous 
bearer, perhaps equal to any 
of the pistillate sorts in this 
respect, the berries are of large 
ize, of regular, roundish form, 
light sc t, of excellent qual- 
ity, remaining in fruit a long 
time. We picked berries from 
it every day for a month last 
season. 
Price (pot-grown plants), 50c 
per doz.: $3.50 per 100; $30.00 
per 1000.

(Extra Early—Perject Flowering.) 
This new variety promises to be 
one of the y best extra earlies 
yet introduced—it ripens three to 
four days e ar «than Michel's 
Early and is vigorous, healthy 
grower—unusually productive tor 
so early a sort—outyielding other 
standard earlies two to one, while 
the fruit averages large, is very 
handsome and firm.

per doz. ; $3.60 per 100; $3u.00 per

Glyde 
(Early—Perfect Flowering.) 
Few varieties have given 
better satisfaction in all parts 
of the country. It is one of 
the very best medium early 
varieties—it is a week earlier 
than Bubach and very firm; 
large, bright scarlet berries of 
fine flavor. The plants are 
strong growers—deep rooting, 
stands drought well, free from 
rust anddisease. It thrives 
particularly well during a dry 
season—with plenty of sun— 
bringing its fruit to maturity 
under surprisingly unfavor- 
able conditions. Itisa great 
basket filler, the whole vigor 
of the plant seems to go into 
fruit, and we highly recom- 
mendit. (See cut.)
