PETER HENDERSON & CO. T NEW YORK— POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 5 



Bubach No. 5. 



{Pistillate. Mid-season.) 

 Probably the best known and 

 most popular of all large straw- 

 berries It is a wonder in its sea- 

 son of fruit, completely cover- 

 ing the ground about the plant 

 with large berries. The berries 

 are remarkable large and con- 

 tinue large to the last picking, 

 roundish, slightly fattened and 

 unusually creased on one or 

 both sides, medium firm and 

 quality good, color orange scar- 

 let, ripening well and even . itis 

 certainly the largest yielder ot 

 big fruit that grows. The plant 

 " beauty, strong, healthy, 



The "Belle" or 

 ^ Lady Finger. 



Bisexual : Mid-season to late. 



When given high culture it has 

 merited the enthusiastic praise given 

 it, and proved wonderfully produc- 

 tive and extra choice. The berries 

 are very large and long, averaging 

 two inches, some even attaining a 

 length of 2% inches. They are usually 

 necked and of very excellent quality. 

 Color bright glossy red, deepening 

 into crimson, the surface color 

 permeating the entire fruit. The 

 blossoms are as near frost proof as 

 any variety known We picked fruit 

 from the "Belle" last season for 32 

 days, commencing June 10th. Plants 

 above medium size, perfect in vigor 

 and habit, and without trace of rust 

 or blight. {See cut.) Price, {pot- 

 grown plants). 60c. doz.; $4.00 per 100.

BEDERWOOD. 



Bed e r wood , < Raster.) 



Bi-sexital : Early. 



A new and exceedingly valu- 

 able early strawberry. Con- 

 ceded to be the best early berry 

 for home use and worthy of 

 great praise ; probably the 

 very best early variety ever 

 introduced. It is not only very 

 early, but immensely produc- 

 tive. The plant is faultless, of 

 healthy, vigorous growth, and 

 an enormous bearer, perhaps 

 equal to any of the pistillate 

 sorts in this respect, the berries 

 are of large size, of regular 



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

 ual variety to be planted near to pollenize it. {See cut.)

in fruit a long time. We picked berries from it every 

 day for a month last season. Price, (pot-grown plants),

NEW STRAWBERRY " BRUNETTE." (Bisexual. Mid-season.) 



This is one of the finest flavored strawberries in culti- 

 vation, rich, sweet and luscious, we understand that 

 invalids in Muncie. Indiana, near where this .variety was 

 raised, send regularly during the season two miles to the 

 orginators for the fruit of this variety, because they claim 

 it is the only strawberry th ~v can eat with impunity. 



The berries are exceedingly handsome, roundly coni- 

 cal in shape and almost invariably pefect in form ; extra 

 large, and of a very rich dark red color, like port "wine and 

 the interior flesh is also richly colored ; ir ripens thoroughly 

 all over, without any white nor gre _n tips. The plant is a 

 good strong, healthy grower and very productive and

CLYDE. 



Bisexual : Early. 



Few varieties have giv- 

 en better satisfaction in 

 all parts of the country. 

 It is one of the very best 

 early varieties— it is a 

 week earlier than Bubach 

 and very firm, large, 

 bright scarlet berries of 

 fine flavor. The plants are 

 strong growers — deep 

 rooting, stands drought 

 well, free from rust and 

 disease/ It is a great 

 basket filler, and we 

 highly recommend it.
