10 PETER HENDERSON & CO.. NEW YORK.-.PQT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 



SAUNDERS. 



SAUNDERS. 



Princeton Chief. 



(Pistillate: 



Mid-season to late. ) 



A tall luxuriant grower, 

 free from rust or disease, 

 very prolific. 



The fruit is produced in 

 great abundance on tall, stout 

 stems, which stand up from 

 six to eight inches the entire 

 season, holding its load of 

 berries from the ground so 

 they do not get dirty or rotten 

 and ripen all over at once, 

 no green spots or white tips. 

 It is beautiful in color, of a 

 dark glossy red. The flavor 

 is delicious and very sweet • 

 being one of the sweetest of 

 strawberries, it can be called 

 the honey strawberry: while 

 its fine aromatic flavor, re- 

 sembling that of the wild 

 strawberry, makes it one of 

 the most delicious of berries. 

 (See cut.) Price, I pot-grown 

 plants), 60c. per doz.; $4.00 

 per 103. 



(Mid-season : Bisexual) 

 A new Canadian berrv of 

 great value and promises to 

 be a leading variety. The 

 plant is large and vigorous, 

 free from rust, and is as f 

 healthy and hardy as any /'/■■//, 

 ever sent out. It is enor- H 

 mously productive In this ' I 

 respect it excelled all ffl 

 others on our place last sea- Kit 

 son, and was the wonder of H| 

 all who saw it The fruit is ljti'.'jl 

 very large, flattened, coni- M'tj] 

 cal, and often has a depres- \a 

 sion on one or both sides. " 

 It is deep red and remark- 

 ably glossy. The flesh is 

 of the same color, and has a spright- 

 ly, agreeable and spicy flavor. We 

 have seen but one defect in it so far — the 

 very largest specimens are sometimes 

 misshapen. The originator thinks the Saunders 

 the most valuable of all his seedlings, and he is a 

 grower of great experience. (See cut ) Price,

 but is better. Fruit uniform- 

 ly large, firm, beautiiul in 

 color and of excellent quality.

Sharpless. 



(Bisexual: Mid-season.) 

 An old variety but still one 

 of the most popular. Plant 

 exceedingly vigorous and 

 hardy enduring both heat and 

 cold without injury, very 

 productive. Fruit extra large, 

 light crimson, firm and good 

 quality. A profitable and re- 

 liable variety for either mar- 

 ket or home. Price, (pot- 

 grown plants), 50c. per doz.; 

 $3.50 per 100. 



A magnificent variety. The berries are large to very large, of 

 globular mould, remarkably reeular and uniform in size and shape, of 

 excellent quality, quite firm, and of the most vivid scarlet imaginable. 



It ripens early to mid-season, 

 holding on late and maintaining 

 a good size to the 

 end- Its cardinal 

 virtues are. how- 

 ever, strong ro- 

 bust plants, great 

 beauty, large size 

 and wonderful pro- 

 ductiveness; for dis- 

 tant markets it is 

 not firm enough, 

 but it is a most 

 profitable variety 

 for near market, 

 and unequalled 

 for the home 

 garden. No need 

 to ask whether 

 it prefers sandy 

 or clay soil: it will 

 grow just where 

 planted if any variety 

 will. (See cut.) Price,
