Bederwood 



Ghallen^e 



« Mi J -season — Perfect Flower- 

 ing.) 

 A variety of surpassing 

 merit. The plant is a large 

 and strong grower- healthy 

 in every way— rooting deeply, 

 consequently a great drought 

 resistor. The size of the fruit 

 and the abundance with which 

 it is produced is wonderful. 

 Even medium sized plants are 

 "• 1 jaded " down with hand- 

 some berries. The berries ay- 

 era !<• very lame — are quite- 

 uniform in shape — occasion- 

 ally a little corrugated, but 

 never coxcombed. The color 

 is bright to dark red. with 

 glossy surface and dark red 

 colored inside. The quality is 

 excellent, sprightly sweet with 

 delightful aroma.

 per 1000. 



Bederwood 



(RACKSTER.; 



(Early — Perfect Flowering.) 

 A new and exceedingly val- 

 uable early strawberry. Con- 

 ceded to be the best early 

 berry for home use and worthy 

 of great praise; probably the 

 very best early variety ever 

 introduced, ft is not only 

 i irly, but immensely pro- 

 ductive. The plant is fault- 

 less, of healthy, vigorous 

 growth, and an enormous 

 bearer, perhaps equal to any 

 of the pistillate sorts in this 

 respec t . t he berries are of large 

 size, of regular, roundish form, 

 .ir'.ct. of excellent qual- 

 ity, remaining in fruit a long 

 time. We picked berries from 

 it every day for a month last 

 season.

Downing's 

 Bride 



(Mid-season — Pistillate.) 

 A valuable new strawberry — 

 plant a strong healthy grower — an 

 enormous bearer of very large con- 

 ical dark glossy red fruit, shining 

 as if varnished, unsurpassed for 

 beauty and excellent quality.

Excelsior 



(Extra Early — Perfect Flowering.) 

 This new variety promises to be 

 one of the very best extra earlu s 

 yet introduced — it ripens three to 

 four days earlier than Michel's 

 Early and is a vigorous, healthy 

 grower — unusually productive tor 

 so early a sort — out yielding other 

 standard earlies two to one. while 

 the fruit averages large, is very 

 handsome and firm. 



Price (pot-grown plants). 60c. 

 per doz. ; $4.00 per 100 : $35.00 per 

 1000.

(Early — Perfect Flowering.) 



Few varieties 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 ot 

 fine flavor. The plants are 

 strong growers — deep rooting, 

 stands drought well, free from 

 rust and disease. It thrives 

 particularly well during a dry 

 season — with plenty ot sun- 

 bringing its fruit to maturity 

 under surprisingly unfavor- 

 able conditions. It is a great 

 basket filler, the whole vigor 

 of the plant seems to go into 

 fruit, and we highly recom- 

 mend it. (See cut.) 



Price (pot-grown plants) , 60c
