fi PETER HEXDERSOX & CO., XEW YORK— POT-GROWX STRAWBERRY PLAXTS. 



AUGUST LUTHER. 



{Extra Early — Perfect Flowering.) 

 A valuable Extra Early Strawberry. It was the earliest 

 variety on our grounds last season, gi\Hng the first ripe berry 

 on June 4th. and three days later the plants were full of 

 bright red, roundish -conical berries, firm and of excellent 

 quality for so early a berry. While we do not claim for this 

 variety extraordinary size of fruit , yet it produces it in such 

 abundance that the aggregate weight will compare favorably 

 with the best of the large-berried sorts, and it continues to 

 \-ield during a long season. 



Price (pot-grm.1t plants), 60c. doz.; $4.00 per 100; $.35.00 

 per 1000. 



BUBACH. 



(.Mid-season — Pistillate.) 

 Probably the best -known and most popular of all large 

 strawberries. It is a wonder in its season of fruit, completely 

 covering the ground about the plant with large berries. The 

 berries are remarkably large and continue large to the last 

 picking; roundish, slightly fattened and unusually creased on 

 one or both sides, medium firm and quality good ; color orange 

 scarlet, ripening well and even. It is certainly the largest 

 >nelder of big fruit that grows. The plant is a beauty, strong, 

 healthy, %-igorous; but unfortunatley for us a poor producer 

 of runners. It is strictly pistillate and requires some bi- 

 sexual variety to be planted near to pollenize it. Price (/>o/-

THe Grand StraMrberry ** Brandy^Avine." 



(Mid-season to Late 

 Although the Brand>-wine has only recently been offered 

 to the public, yet it is already uorld jamous from the superla- 

 tively flattering reports in the Horticultural press from the 

 experiment stations and from strawberry critics to whom a, 

 few plants were given for trial. It has been thoroughly test- 

 ed in many parts of the country and has given universal satis- 

 faction, in fact, we doubt if any strawberry ever before has 

 received such enthusiasitr praise over so wide an extent of 

 territory. 



The berries of the " Brand^^vine " are magnificent and of 

 immense size — very firm, solid and shapely for so large a 

 berry. In general it is broadly heart-shaped without neck, 

 occasionally fruits will be found shaped as if two berries were 

 joined together; flesh red to the cor<\ of delifrlutul .-in nia 



Perfect Floavring.) 



rich, juicy and luscious. The seeds are but slightlv imbedded 

 which adds to its firmness. The color is of a rich, dark 

 glossy scarlet. Colors uniformly all over, no white blotches 

 nor green tips, and its large green cal\-x greatly adds to the 

 attractiveness of the fruit. In productiveness the Brandy- 

 wine strawberry is truly a mar\-el, both in size and quantity. 

 The splendid large berries are borne on stiff, stout stems, 

 ripening in succession for a long period, from mid-season until 

 the very latest, holding up its size to the Last and every berry 

 coming to maturity. The plants of Brandywine are remark- 

 ably vigorous, healthy and hardy, throwim; out strong run- 

 ners, the foliage is of the largest and thriftiest, entirely free 

 from scald or blemish. Price (pct-grmrn platils). SOc. doz.;
