8 PETER HEXDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— POT-GROWX STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 



New Seedling Strawberry 



HERITAGE. 



Mid-season to Late — Perfect Flowering. 



This seedling, a New Jersey production has been grown by the originator and some of his neighbors since 1903. These 

 gentlemen, all experts in raising strawberries for market pronounce this the most valuable strawberry ever produced. So 

 surpassingly superior that some of these growers have discarded all other sorts. The prominent merits of the Heritage Straw- 

 berry are: The plant is very large of extremely heavy texture — single crown plants often carrying foliage with a spread of 

 20 to 22 inches. It is very deep rooting — drought and disease resisting and a prodigious yielder — from mid-season until 

 very late of unusually large and beautiful berries of a dark shining crimson color and round tapering conical in shape. A 

 large heavy green calyx adding to its beauty and desirability as a table berry. The flesh is solid of fine texture and its de- 

 licious flavor is unsurpassed. 



For the home garden the Heritage Stra%vberry is unsurpassed — it makes fine fruiting beds, the large berries — 10 to IS 

 fill a quart box — hold up in size to the very last. While for market it is a wonder — yielding SOoO quarts per acre under 

 favorable conditions — and even in poor seasons has never yielded less than 6000 quarts per acre. 



Price, (pot-grown plants), 75c. per doz.; So. 00 per 100; $45.00 per 1000. '

THE "MINN." 



Shown in Color on back cover. 



(Extra Late— Pistillate.) 



By planting the " HUNN " the 

 strawberry season may be lengthened 

 until unusually late in the season. It 

 ripens a week later than " Gandy " 

 and is exceedingly productive. The 

 " HUNN " originated and was sent 

 out by the Geneva (N. V.) Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station. The berries 

 are very large and attractive, of a 

 uniform rounding shape, glossy dark 

 crimson in color, flesh firm, of excellent 

 flavor, deeply colored to the core, ren- 

 dering it unsurpassed for canning. 

 The plant, under favorable conditions 

 is a string vigorous grower, with thick 

 clean foliage. It is easily our latest 

 berry, and flowering late, it escapes 

 fmsts that often insure the blossoms 

 of earlier varieties. Price, (pot-grown 

 plants), 50c. per doz.; $3.50 per 100; 

 $30.00 per L000 



LESTER LOVETT. 



(Extra Laic — Perfect Flowering.) 



Lester Lovett possesses all of the 

 valuable characteristics of the 

 " Gandy," with added lateness. It 

 is a veritable giant in every par- 

 ticular — the berries are of a conical 

 globular shape — very large and of 

 uniform perfect shape — holding large 

 to the end of the season, two weeks 

 after other late varieties are through 

 fruiting. The quality is high, of rich 

 flavor, with a delightful aroma. 



The plant is of unusually robust 

 growth, with healthy upright foliage. 

 very prolific, carrying the clusters 

 of berries on strong stems, clear from 

 the ground.

MARSHALL. 



(Mid-season — Perfect Flowering.) 

 The berries are very beautiful and 

 average extraordinarily large — often 

 14 fill a quart measure As an exhibi- 

 tion berry and for home use it is peer- 

 less — it captures the prize wherever 

 exhibited, almost without exception. 

 It is the first of the extra large berries 

 to ripen, and although of great si?e, 

 the fruit is rarely ever mis-shapen. 

 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 As 

 to productiveness, it will not yield as 

 large a number of berries as some \ ari 

 eties, but when measured in quarts or 

 bushels, "ill be above the average. 

 The plant is faultless, a strong grower, 

 often standing 20 to '-'-' inches high. 

 rooting deeply and standing drought 

 well. The large luxuriant foliajv is 

 sufficient to protect the blossom from 

 late frosts
