PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 11 



St. Antoine de Padoue. 



This large fruiting French Uverbcaring Strawberry possesses 

 remarjcable characteristics when grown under congenial 

 conditions. Our pot-grown plants — set out this summer, 

 should fruit the follow ins spring, and continue to bear, though 

 more sparingly throughout the summer. In addition to 

 this, the plants throw out strong runners which form new 

 plants, and if not cut from the parent plants will also fruit 

 ime season, thus giving a continuous supply of delicious 

 strawberries until frost. This remarkable strawberry is of 

 compact, vigorous growth, the fruit stalks are strong and 

 erect, carrying the fruit well above the foliage. 



The fruit is large and of a rich dark red color — handsome 

 and uniform in shape — firm, of delicious flavor. The French 

 gardeners, when they want an abundance of late fruit, cut off 

 the first flowers from the large plants and also keep the run- 

 ners cut, which throws the vi^or into the late fruit; others, 

 bi i li ■ ■, keeping the flowers cut from the large plants, allow 

 three or four first runners to root only, thus throwing the 

 strength of the parent plant into the young plants and depend 

 upon these to furnish the late fruit.

New Strawberry, "SuGCeSS." 



(Early to Mid-season — Perfect Flowering.) 

 The new early fruiting strawberry is one of the most 

 beautiful as well as the earliest large berry we know of, and 

 although early it holds out well through the strawberry 

 season bringing every berry to perfection; the last berries 

 coming in with the later varieties and almost as large as 

 the first borne. The berries are of large globular form, 

 slightly conical, and of a light bright scarlet; the llavor being 

 always fine, mild, sweet and rich. They are a little soft for 

 shipping, but this fact emphasizes their superiority for the 

 home garden. The plant is a vigorous, strong grower, free 

 from rust and abundantly productive. We unreservedly 

 recommend it for the home garden.

Uncle Jim or Dornan. 



(Mid-season to Late — Perfect Flowering.) 

 A western strawberry that is attracting much attention 

 for its superior merits. Plants unusually robust with large 

 healthy foliage. It is a remarkable drought resister and a big 

 and reliable producer of 

 extra large berries — very 

 uniformly heart shaped — 

 of a bright beautiful red 

 color and of high quality. 

 It is claimed by the intro- 

 ducer that the fruit brings 

 2~> per cent, more in the 

 1 i market than any 



other \ariety — on account 

 of the larye size, handsome 

 appearance and fine qual- 

 ity of the berries. 12 se- 

 lected berries often filling 

 a quart measure heaping 

 full. It was named " Un- 

 cle Jim " by the Chicago 

 <ion merchants, in 

 honor of its introducer, 

 Mr. James F. Dornan, but 

 the .Michigan State Horti- 

 cultural Society thought 

 the name not a good one 

 and have registered it as 

 Dornan." So this variety 

 is now known under both 

 names for above reason.

William Belt. 



(Mid -season— Perfect Flowering 



A luxuriant grower, healthy and hardy, verv produc- 

 tive, and the berries are very large. It has produced 

 many 8 inch lurries. Shape rather long, conical and quite 

 uniform. The color is deep glossy red all over. It is as firm 

 .i> ordinary berries, and >f a better quality than is often founo 

 in large varieties. All things considered, it is one of the best var- 

 ieties for the home grower— the flesh is solid and meaty and of a 

 rich crimson to the core.
