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



'WAKFIELD 



WOOLVERTON. (x^ew.) 



{Mid-season to late: Bi-sextcal.) 



Orig"inated by Mr. John Little, the veteran strawberry grower 

 of Canada. It is becoming immensely popular wherever tried. 

 It succeeds in all soils and localities m lulls and 

 matted rows, and is unexcelled for home use, for 

 market or for a showy berry. It is a fine healthy 

 grower, remaining green and healthy all summer^ 

 and IS a great bearer. The blossom i^ perfect^ 

 and it remains in bloom a long time. In fact it 

 always matures a part of its crop before it i-> done 

 blooming. This is a valuable characteribtic, be- 

 cause it will prevent any great loss by a late 

 frost and also make it a great variety to plant 

 ■with pistillates. Fruit, extra large often 7 inches 

 in circumference, roundish, conical, rarely miss- 

 hapen, firm and of rich 

 fine flavor, color a beau- 

 ful bright red. 



" The Hatch Expeii- 

 ment Station Report'* — 

 states that Woolverton 

 was ahead of 96 varieties 

 tried for productiveness 

 and size. \See cut.)

 great merit requinnj; hill 

 culture and rich soil for 

 best results ; plant, vig- 

 orous, a heavy bearer.

 and round ; very solid 

 with all of the seeds on 

 t1:e surface. Color deep

 the flesh. In quality it is

 licious and a great favor-

WARFIELD. 



[Pistillate: Early.) 



Although a comparatively new strawberry it has been widely disseminated 

 has invariably won a permanent place m thelistof "standard'' varieties; 

 is well at the head of the list at that, it slcceeds every where, sand or clay, 

 wet or dry. It is the largest yielder of sohd 

 handsome fruit that grows, ripening early 

 and continuing until late. Not enormously 

 big, but of good medium size, very regular 

 and perfect in shape, obtusely conical, slightly 

 necked, very firm, ver>* dark red. very glossy 

 and exceedingly attractive. Although War- 

 field IS catalogued as a Pistillate variety, the 

 flowers do produce a few stamens; but for a 

 sure yield a bi-sexual should by Ml means 

 be planted near. Quality pleasant sub-acid. 

 It is very vigorous grower, with bright healthy 

 foliage. A decidedly valuable sort. {See citt.) 

 Price, {pot-grotujt plants)^ 6cc. per doz.; 

 $4.00 per 100. 



Mr. Dow in substance, says : — " The War' 



yield 'ioill put the old varieties in the shade. 

 It yields ea.rly^ lots of very attractive shoivy 



fruity a7id keeps on bcari7igfor a long time. 

 It is u splendid strawberry. 



Mr. M. Crawford, another strawberry auth- 

 ority, says:—*' IVarfeld iviil doubtless be 

 placed at the head of the list by a great 

 7na7iyy afzd this is ivhcre it belongs. For 

 healthy^ vigorous growth and great pro- 

 ductivenessy it ca7iJi4>t be surpassed. It is 

 aynong the first to ripf?iy and ainong the last 

 to yield a good picking, ^^ 



WILSON. 



{Early: Bi-sexual.) 



" This for 30 years was the standard by which all strawberries 

 were measured.'' An old reliable berry that almost every one is 

 acquainted with, moderate grower, productive, fruit of lair size, 

 very uniform in shape, dark red when fully ripe, very firm juicy 

 and of pleasing sub-acid flavor. A splendid variety for plant- 

 ing near Early Pistillate sorts, when a polenizer to give firmness is 

 required.
