"GREAT 

 RUBY." 



(Pistillate, midseason to late.) 



This new Strawberry has proved 

 to be one of the finest varieties ever 

 introduced. A favorite among those 

 who desire the most uniformly 

 handsome and large, richly colored, 

 delightfully flavored strawberry for 

 the home table. The healthy, vig- 

 orous growth, remarkable productive- 

 ness, immense size, handsome uni- 

 form shape, deep lustrous crimson 

 color, and, above all, the rich- 

 luscious flavor, combined with the 

 delightful aroma, render Henderson's 

 "Great Ruby" peerless among straw- 

 berries. It commences to ripen soon 

 after the early varieties, and bears 

 until nearly all the others are gone. 

 The luxuriant growth of the plant and its remark- 

 able deep-rooting qualities enable it to produce beauti- 

 ful large berries even during a dry season, when other 

 varieties are withered and fruitless. (See cut.) Price, 

 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100, $25.00 per 1000.
