PKTKR Hi;\DERSO.\ &• CO., NEW YORK— POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 



CLIMAX. 



Extra early — Perfect Flowering. 



A very popular variety in some strawberry growing sec- 

 tions on account of its great and extremely early production 

 of handsome large fruit. The berries are almost round 

 tapering slightly at the tip; the surface is glossy red — the 

 color extending through the flesh — the latter being richly 

 flavored and very juicy making it especially good for short 

 cake, canning etc., it is a little too soft as a shipping berry 

 for distant markets, but for home use and local trade it is 

 highly recommended. The plants are tall vigorous growers 

 with ample dark green foliage which well protects the fruit. 



Price, (pot-grown plants) GOc. doz.; $4.00 per 100; $3.j.00 

 per 1000. 



CLYDE. 



(Early — Perfect Flowering.) 



Few strawberries 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, stand drought well, free from 

 rust and disease. It thrives particularly well during a dry 

 season — with plenty of sun — bringing its fruit to maturity 

 under surprisingly unfavorable conditions. It is a great 

 basket filler, the whole vigor of the plant seems to go into 

 fruit, and we highly recommend it. 



Price (pot-grown plants), 60c. per doz.; $4.00 per 100, 

 $3.5.00 per 1000. 



"COMMONWEALTH" STRAWBERRY. 



(\'ery Late — Perfect Flowering.) 



This most valuable very late strawberry was raised by a gentleman in Massachusetts, and is the result of his effort to pro- 

 duce a berry which would perceptibly lengthen the strawberry season. In the " Commonwealth " we have a berry as large 

 as the largest — as productive as any of the large fruiting varieties, and as fine flavored and juicy and as dark colored as any 

 strawberry grown. The berries of the largest size are broadly cone shaped and quite smooth; moreover, it is very late. On 

 the 17th of July as good berries were picked from it as earlier in the season; the last berries were picked July 22 (Marshall. 

 MeKinley and Glen Mary grown side by side with it being gone). The plant is a good strong grower — hardy, shows no sign 

 of rust, and bears a strong staminate blossom. It is exceedingly productive. The Massachusetts Horticultural So 

 awarded the " Commonwealth " strawberry first prize over all competitors. 



Price, (pot-grown plants) GOc per doz ; S4 00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000.
