PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 



JEWELL. 



(NEW.) 



{Mid-season; pistillaie.) 



A wonder among strawberries 

 when grown on heavy, rich soil 

 in hills and highly cultivated, 

 with a bi-sexual variety to po- 

 lenize it, under such conditions, 

 it is the most productive variety 

 grown. From a single plant at 

 one picking we have filled a 

 quart basket heaping full, the 

 berries are very large, well 

 formed and exceedingly showy; 

 color, rich crimson, flavor de- 

 lightful. It is a luxuriant 

 grower, single plants have 

 covered a space 7 feet in cir- 

 cumference. The Jewell has 

 received several first prizes at 

 Strawberry Exhibitions. (See

JESSIE. 



\Bz-sej>;uai; Early to Mid-season.) 



A very large and handsome straw- 

 berry, of bright, glossy crimson. Where 

 light, rich soil and good culture has 

 been given it has given splendid satis- 

 faction. Its large size, handsome, regu- 

 lar form and fine quality makesitthe 

 most desirable of berries. A gentleman 

 in Mass. who was awarded the $25.00 

 prize for largest yield, grew 513^ pounds 

 of fruit from 12 plants, the largest berry 

 measuring 9)^ inches around. Plant 

 strong, stocky, vigorous, free from rust 

 and wonderfully productive. Jessie is 

 one of the best polenizers for Haver- 

 land. The Wisconsin Horticultural So- 

 ciety, after examining the plants in fruit, 

 unanimously adopted the following ; 

 ^'' Resolved^ That the show of the Jessie 

 2iPon the grounds oj" , . . exceeds 

 anything tue have ever seen in size^ 

 productiveness and quality^ and toe 

 believe it possesses more valuable qziali— 

 ties than any netu variety no%v dissemi- 

 nated. {See cut.) Price, {pot-grovj7t,

(NEW.) 



{Early; Piitillate.) 

 Beautiful, extra large, fine berries of luscious flavor and very uniform shape; color, 

 attractive light scarlet, only moderately firm but a splendid home berry. The plant is 

 a very rugged grower, bearing abundantly on stout, short fruit stems. It has given 

 excellent satisfaction wherever tried over a wide range of country and yields far in ex- 

 cess of many of the leading older 

 kinds. {See cut) 'P'[\ct^{/>ot-gro7un

MIDDLEFIELD. 



(NEW.) 



(Mid-season; Pistillate.) 



Those who want something extra 

 fine in stiawberries and are willmg 

 to gi^'e good culture on strong, rich 

 soil, will find this variety strictly 

 '*fancy," and a prize winner. '1 he 

 fruit is very large, very symmetrical, 

 firm and luscious quality and ex — 



ceedingrly handsome. 



The berries color all over, at first a 

 light scarlet then deepening to rich 

 crimson as they mature wuh a high 

 gloss making them as brilliant as if 

 varnished; the flesh is also crimson 

 clear through. The plant is a 

 healthy, vigorous grower and bears 

 along time. {.See cat.) Price, (pot- 

 groivn plants)^ 75c. per doz.; ^5.00

LOVETT. 



{Bi-sextial ; Early to Mid-season^ 



Fruit large, firm and handsome, a 

 decided beauty. In productiveness jt 

 excels all other varieties we have ever 

 fruited, succeding everywhere, even 

 upon poor, light land. We do not 

 claim for it mammoth s ze, but averag- 

 ing large and unifo;m, holding its size 

 to the close of the season better than 

 any other varieties, the berries color all 

 over at once. It gave us ripe fruit on 

 May 22d, and continued until the close 

 of the season. At a single picking it 

 does not give as much fruit as some 

 varieties that go quickly, but from first 

 to last we have never seen a strawberry 

 yield so much fruit. 1 he agricultural 

 papers and State Experiment Stations 

 all speak highly of it. Its value is in- 

 creased from its being a splendid pole- 

 nizer for mid-seas :n pistiUates. (See 

 cut.) Price, (pot-grown plants).^ 50c. 

 per doz. ; $3.00 per ico. 



Mathew Crawford (July report) says; 

 No one will tnake a ]nistake in plant- 

 ing this variety., it seems to succeed 

 evejywhere, and is more rejnarkable 

 for its many good points than for any 

 one prominent characteristic.
