TRANSPLANTED LAYERS. 
From our extensive collectionwe 
have selected the varieties offered 
as the best for generaluse. The 
Strawberry plants we offer, being 
strong, layered plants which were 
transplanted into cald frames in 
the fall, if planted out any time be- 
fore May 5th, will, under proper con- 
ditions, give quite a nice lot of fruit 
the present year. The plants here 
offered are far superior to the un- 
transplanted ‘‘layers’’ usually sold. 
Those marked with the letter P are pistillate varieties 
and must have.a row of a perfect-flowered sort planted 
Evel 9 or 12 feet apart among them, to pollenize their 
ossoms. 
BISMARCK. An improvement upon Bubach No.5, 
being more robust and stocky and more pro- 
ductive. Berries very large, bluntly conical, bright 
scarlet, firm and solid and of excellent quality. A 
New French 
Row French ceawierra, oo SAINT ANTOINE DE FADOUE.,; 
THs NEW, large-fruiting French Ever-bearing Strawberry pos- 
sesses remarkable characteristics when grown under congenial 
conditions. The plants throw out strong runners which fruit the 
same season, thus giving a continuous supply until frost. This 
remarkable Strawberry is the result of across between the ever- 
bearing ‘‘Saint Joseph” and ‘* Royal Sovereign,” and it has proven 
tobe superior to all other perpetual strawberries. It is of com- 
pact, vigorous growth, the fruit stalks are strong and erect, 
carrying the fruit well above the foliage. The fruitis large and 
of a rich dark red color—handsome and uniform in shape—firm, of 
delicious flavor and keeps exceedingly well. For late fruit, cut off 
the first flowers and keep the runners cut, which throws the vigor 
into the late fruit. It received a first-class certificate from the 
“Société Nationale d’Horticulture de France.” (See cut.) Price, 
10c, each, $1.00 per doz., $8.00 per 100. 
SELECT STRAWBERRIES. 
The following varieties have been selected from the hundreds 
now on the market as combining in a marked degree the best 
qualities of the American Strawberry. 
MONITOR. The bloom is perfect and one of the richest in pollen. 
Time of ripening is with the first ‘‘Crescent,” and continues until 
nearly all others are gone. The berries are all of large size. The 
plant, with its habit of growth, its productiveness and beauty, 
is without a peer. The fruit is a bright shiny red and uniformly 
large, firm and attractive, and is of excellent flavor. 
GLADSTONE. An exceedingly large and luxuriant growth, thick 
leathery foliage and wonderful production of remarkably hand- 
some fruit mark it the King of the field. The ‘‘Gladstone”’ isas 
early as ‘‘Michel’s Early,” and as large as ‘‘Sharpless” atits best, 
often measuring 614 inches in circumference. Solid, never pithy, 
of a rich glossy red; it is of a high and spicy flavor. 
NEW YORK. This is the Strawberry that captured a prize of 
$100 in gold offered for the best and largest new variety. It is 
a robust grower, berries measuring over seven inches in cir- 
cumference. In form they are rounding conical. Color, 
crimson-searlet, dark, rich and inviting, leaving no green tips. 
The flavor is deliciously rich and melting. Price for the above, 
10c. each, 75c. per doz., $5.00 per 100. 
grand berry in every way. 
BRANDYWINE. (Mid-season to very late.) Brandywine 
is already world-famous; in fact, we doubt if any Strawberry 
ever before has received such enthusiastic praise over so wide an 
extent of territory. The berries are of large size, glossy scarlet, very 
firm, solid and shapely, of delightful aroma, rich, juicy and luscious, 
and wonderfully productive. 
CLYDE. 
dener and a boon for the amateur, as it does well where all others 
fail. Berries roundish-conical, bright scarlet, fine quality, very pro- 
ductive. 
This is a great shipping berry, a money-maker for the gar- 
(Early to mid-season.) 
JERSEY MARKET. (P.) An ideal market berry, combining firm- 
ness, bright color, good keeping qualities, productiveness, good 
flavor, uniformly good size and vigorous growth. 
MARGARET. A remarkable berry in many respects, large size, 
fine flavor, late in bearing, plant of wonderful strength and 
great productiveness. All who have tried it are delighted with it. 
MARSHALL. (Mid-season.) The berriesare very beautiful and 
average extraordinarily large—often 14 will fill a quart measure. 
As a berry for home use it is peerless. It is the first of the 
extra large varieties to ripen, and although of great size the fruit 
is rarely ever misshapen. The color is a rich glossy crimson 
that everyone admires, the surface color running well into the 
flesh, and the quality is far above the average. 
McKINLEY. (Mid-season.) Conspicuous for its size, shape, color 
and quality. Shape roundish, inclining to conical, but some- 
times flattened or cockscombed; color, crimson ; flesh moderately 
firm and quality extra good. Plant is vigorous and healthy. 
MICHIGAN. The latest of all berries and should be planted by 
all who desire to extend the Strawberry season to its utmost 
limits. Large size, prime quality and delicious flavor. Form 
bluntly conical, color bright rich crimson. 
WIC. OHMER. A giant among Strawberries, it is never mis- 
shaped. Dark glossy red, firm and of excellent flavor. Plant 
large and healthy, sending out a wealth of runners and rooting 
deeply. 
RIDGEWAY. The ideal berry for the family table or home 
market. Quality unsurpassed, the size will average large to very 
large, berries nearly round, bright crimson with golden seed. 
WM. BELT. Another new Strawberry that is sure to make its 
mark. For size alone it ranks among the best, producing berries 
twelve of which will filla quart measure. The fruit is conical, 
rather long, regular in outline, bright red and glossy. The 
quality is excellent, plant strong and prolific. 
ROUGH RIDER. A valuable new late Strawberry,an exceedingly 
robust grower, resisting drought and disease. The fruit is won- 
derfully large, very dark-colored and extremely firm, quality like 
late berries, most delicious. Itis later than ‘“‘Gandy,” the height 
of the picking season being about July 9th. Price, 10c. each,
