PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 5 



New Strawberry "Commonwealth." 



(Very Late — Perfect Flowering.) 



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

 produce 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 ol July as good berries were picked from it as earlier in the season; the last berries were picked July 22 

 (Marshall. McKinley and Glen Mary grown side by side with it being gone). The plant is a good strong grower — hardy. 

 show ■ no sign of rust, and bears a strong staminate blossom. It is exceedingly productive. The Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural So ii ty awarded the "Commonwealth " strawberry first prize overall competitors. (Sec cut 1st page cover.) 



Price (pot-grown plants). $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $65.00 per 1000. 



NEW STKAWBEKKY, "SUCCESS." 



New Strawberry "20th Century." 



(Midseason — Pistillate.) 



This new strawberry produces mammoth berries of broad 

 — almost kidney shape — being wider than long — with a 

 blunt apex. [1 unlike in form and color the famous 



old Jersey Queen, but is mmh superior to that variety. 

 The crowning merits of " 20th Century " are uniform size 

 and shape, smooth surface, never cockscombed nor ridged, 

 immense size, dark crimson color, and of sweet delicate 

 flavor; plant of moderate growth and fairly prolific. Under 

 In :h culture ten selected berries will fill a quart. 



Price (pot-grown plants). $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; 

 M6.00 per 1000. 



New Strawberry "Success." 



(Early to Mid-season — Perfect Flowering.) 

 This new early fruiting strawberry is one of the most beau- 

 tiful as well as the earliest large berry we know of, and al- 

 ■ irly it holds out well through the strawberry season, 

 bringing every besTj to perfection ihe last berries coming in 

 with the later varieties and almost as large as the first borne. 

 The berries arc of large globular form, slightly conical, and 

 of a light bright scarlet; the flavor 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 abun- 

 dantly productive. We unreservedly recommend it for the 

 home garden. 



Price (pot-grown plants), 75c. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; 

 |45 00 per 1000.
