OUR ‘‘POT GROWN’’ STRAWBERRY 
PLANTS BEAR FULL CROPS 
NEXT SPRING. 
We grow our strawberry plants in 
pots, they are much superior to the 
ordinary ground layers usually sold, 
as there is no loss of fine roots in 
taking them up, and they can be 
shipped safely to distant parts of the 
United States and Canada, and be 
transplanted at any season, and it 
scarcely checks their growth; con- 
sequentiy, if planted before the Ist 
of September, they will grow into 
large plants and bear a full crop of 
berries next spring, being a clear 
gain of a year over “‘ground layers,’ 
which is certainly worth more than 
the slight difference in first cost. 
The blossoms of all varieties are either bi-sexual (perfect flowering) or are destitute of stamens and are termed 
pistillate or (imperfect flowering.) Pistillate varieties must have a row of a perfect-flowered sort, planted every nine 
or twelve feet apart among them, or, better yet, every third or fourth plant in the row, to pollenize their blossoms. 
When properly fertilized the pistillate varieties are the most prolific. 
_ NOVELTIES: in STRAWBERRIES. 
(Bi-Sexual; Mid-season to late.) 
A new and grand medium to late 
berry that has proved to be a valuable 
_ aquisition.. The fruit is perfection in 
: 
shape and color and of very superior 
flavor, resembling that of the wild 
strawberry. Berry large, conical 
bright varnished crimson, colors all 
over, flesh pink and of fine texture. 
Plant very vigorous, upright and 
healthy; and it remains in bearing from 
early in June until the latter part of July. 
The berries being remarkably large to 
the end of the season; and for produc- 
tiveness it is not equalled—as a market 
berry itis unrivalled, sells on sight and 
customers want this variety in prefer- 
ence to all others. All strawberry 
specialists and authorities think highly 
of it and predict for it a great future. 
It has received four prizes from the — 
Massachusetts Horticultural Society 
within 13 months. (S¢e cut.) Price, 
(pot grown plants,) $1.00 per doz.; 
$6.00 per Too. 
Mr. M, Crawford, says:—lan greatly pleased with this variety, Beverly. 
NEW STRAWBERRY, BEVERLY. 
Last July I set out 50 potted plants, they made a splen- 
did growth last fall, are free from rust. The berry is of large size, regular form, color dark and rich, quite firm and of a mos 
agrecvable flower, [ consider it the best of the large productive kind, and lant not surprised that the originator sold the fruzt this 
season at 25 cts. per quart wholesale. All reports are favorable, 
If Strawberry Plants are wanted by mail, add for postage 10c. per dcz.; or 75c. per Ioo.
