POT GROWN STRAWBERRY PILAMTS 



CITY OF CHESTER. 



This variety originated some years ago in a garden in Chester, Pennsylvania. 

 A few plants found growing in her garden by a lady so impressed her that the 

 plants were sent to her people, near Felton, Delaware. This berry has met with 

 great favor in our local markets, bringing the highest price on Wyoming market 

 for two years in succession. Having tried these berries we now offer them to our 

 customers for the first time, confident that it is among the best large high-color 

 berries. We want to see our friends try the Chester for the largest good all- 

 season strawberry.

CHESAPEAKE. 



(Mid-season to Late — Pistillate.) 



A splendid grower making just enough runners for a matted row. The plants 

 root deeply, are vigorous and healthy, with large foliage. One of the best in 

 flavor, shape, size, color and appearance. The berries when good and ripe are 

 rather dark like Marshall. They ship well and because of their fine color and 

 exquisite flavor always command a good price.

CLIMAX 



(Extra Early — Perfect Flowering.) 



A very popular variety in some strawberry growing sections on account of its 

 great and extremely early production of handsome large fruit. The berries 

 are almost round tapering slightly at the tip; the surface is glossy red — the color 

 extending through the flesh — the latter being richly flavored and very juicy 

 making it especially good for short cake, canning, etc., it is a little too soft 

 as a shipping berry for distant markets, but for home use and local trade it is 

 highly recommended. The plants are tall vigorous growers with ample dark 

 green foliage which well protects the fruit. 



Price, (pot-grown plants), 60c. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; C35.00 per 1000. 



COPxSICAN. 



(Mid-season — Perfect Flowering.) 



This fine variety has been thoroughly tested among the many kinds of new 

 and old that we offer. It has many points of superiority, being conspicuous for 

 its size, shape, color and quality. In size it is unusually large; shape round 

 inclining to conical, but sometimes slightly flattened. Color crimson, flesh 

 moderately firm and quality extra good. The plant is, vigorous, healthy and a 

 great yielder. We can confidently recommend it for the home garden or market. 



Price, (pot-grown plants), 60c. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 



COMMONWEALTH. 



(Very Late — Perfect Flowering.) 



This most 

 tibly lengthen 



Shown in color on back cover, 

 valuable very late strawberry was raised by a gentleman in Massachusetts, and is the result of his effort to produce a berry which would percep- 

 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 of 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, shows no sign of rust, and bears a strong staminate 



blossom. It is exceedingly 

 productive. 



The Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society awarded the 

 "Commonwealth" strawberry 

 first prize over all competitors.
