PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK- POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 9 



McKinley. 



Mid-season — Perfect Flowering.) 



The number of strawberries now offered is so great that 

 we almost hesitate to add to the list, but this variety has so 

 many desirable qualities that we believe it deserves recogni- 

 tion and dissemination. 



It has been thoroughly tested among the many kinds of 

 new and old. that wc have growing; and has many points of 

 superiority, being conspicuous for its size, shape, color and 

 quality. In size it is unusually large; shape roundish, in- 

 clining to conical: but sometimes flattened or coxcombed 

 color crimson, flesh moderately firm and quality extra good. 

 The plant is vigorous, healthy and a great yielder. We can 

 confidently recommend it for the home garden and also for 

 nearby market. 



Price (pot-grown plants), 30c. per doz.; $3.50 per 100; 

 $30.00 per 1000. 



Michel's Early. 



(Perfect Flowering — Extra Early.) 



Michel's Early is one of the earliest varieties in cultiva- 

 tion that will produce a full crop of berries. It is a robust 

 grower with never a trace of rust or mildew. It yields 

 bountifully; berries medium to large, handsome, regular 

 conical form, color light scarlet, flas-or exquisite. It is a 

 tine sort to pollenize early pistillates. Price, (pot-grown 

 plants). 50c. per doz ; $3..">0 per 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



The Big Prize-Taking Strawberry! 



"New York." 



Perfect Flowering.) 



This is the strawberry, a seedling 

 of Bubach and Jessie raised by a New 

 York lady, that captured the prize 

 of $100 in gold offered for the best and 

 largest new variety. The plant is an 

 unusually robust grower, making but 

 few runners, throwing its strength 

 and vigor into the magnificent berries, 

 which, in consequence, are produced 

 in great abundance and are of immense 

 size, sometimes measuring over seven 

 inches in circumference. In form 

 they are very handsome and regular, 

 of a rounding conical shape. Color — 

 crimson-scarlet dark, rich and inviting, coloring all over leav- 

 ing no green tips. The flavor is deliciously rich and melting. 

 For a family strawberry the " New York " is eminently 

 adapted, but its large size and delicate texture would possibly 

 prevent the berries from arris'ing in good condition in dis- 

 tant markets. Price (pot-grown plants), 60c. per doz.; 

 $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1 000. 



Nick Ohmer. 



(Perfect Flowering — Mid-season.) 



A new berry of Ohio origin and named after the Ex- 

 President of the Ohio State Horticultural Society, and de- 

 scribed thus by Mr. Crawford, the veteran strawberry au- 

 thority. " After watching the ' Nick Ohmer ' three years, 

 and hearing how it has behaved whenever I sent it for trial, 

 never having received one unfavorable report on it. 1 am 

 confident that it is one of the most desirable, if not the very 

 best, ever sent out. There is no other in the market or in 

 sight that I would plant with as much confidence. If re- 

 stricted to a single variety it would be my first choice without 

 a moment's hesitation. 



The plant is very large and stocky, sending out plenty of 

 very strong runners. It is probably not surpassed in healthy, 

 vigorous growth and great productiveness by any variety. 

 It has a perfect blossom. The fruit is of the very largest 

 size, a giant among strawberries. It is never misshapen. 

 Its only departure from the regular, roundish, conical form 

 is when, under high culture, it is somewhat triangular It 

 is dark glossy red, firm and of excellent flavor Price, 

 (pot-grown plants), 50c. per doz., $3.50 per 100; $30.00 per 

 



If Strawberry Plants are desired by mail add for postage I0c. to the dozen price and 75c. to the hundred price.
