PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 11 



TinBRELL, The Queen of Strawberries. 



{Pistillate: Late.) 



The Timbrell is considered by many eminent authorities as the best strawberry in existence — it certainly is the 

 best late pistillate, and seems perfection in every way— it is destined to become wonderfully popular when further 

 disseminated, as reports from those who have grown it, enthusiastically praise it. The magnificent berries are borne 

 in immense clusters, often 26 to 30 berries to a stem, and are of the largest size and delightful flavor, rich, juicy and 

 sprightly ; by some thought the finest quality of any strawberry in cultivation. In shape nearly round and generally 

 very symmetrical, very solid and meaty; color, very dark crimson, a little patchy at first, but when fully ripe, a solid 

 crimson ; those who have the means of knowing say that it will endure more wet weather without injury and will keep 

 longer before or after picking than most varieties; it is very late in blooming, and, in consequence, the flowers are not 

 liable to injury from late frosts. The fruit also ripens very late. The plants are pictures of health and strength and 

 vigor, and are so distinct that they can be picked out of a hundred varieties at a glance. " On account of the Timbrell 

 being a pistillate variety it should li.ive some late flowering bi-s,xual sort, such as Brandywine, Michigan or Gandy planted 

 every third row to pollenize the blossoms."

THE NEW... 44 WM RFI T " 



STRAWBERRY, VViTl. DCL1. 



(Bisexual : Mid-season.) 

 The plant is one of the largest, a very luxuriant grower, 

 and is healthy and hardy. It is very productive and the 

 berries are very large indeed; we had it on exhibition last 

 summer— 12 berries to the quart. It has produced a good 

 many 8-inch berries. The first berry on a stem is quite apt 

 to be coxcombed, but those following are rather long, 

 conical and quite uniform in shape and size. The color is 

 bright glossy red, and it colors all over. It is as firm as 

 ordinary berries, and of a better quality than is often 

 found in large varieties. In productiveness, size, beauty 

 and quality the Wm. Belt will scale higher than any 

 other variety ever raised. 



41 Berries large, conical, rather long, regular in outline; 

 bright red, glossy; quality good; Moderately flrtn Plants vig- 

 orous, healthy and quiteprolific. This is one of the mostprom- 

 ising^ varieties ever tested at the station. — Ohio Experiment

straw^rry. "THE RIDGEWAY." 



(Bz-sexual : Mid-season.) 



Originated by M. H. Ridgeway, of Indiana, who de- 

 scribes it as follows: 



" Plant large and stocky, possessing the ability to make 

 a large number of strong, healthy plants. Large leaf, 

 broad, heavy and dark green in color. Blossom perfect, 

 a good pollenizer for pistillate varieties as it remains in 

 bloom for a long time . an ideal plant. 



" Berry large to very large, the typical form nearly 

 round, largest specimens broadly ovate, but always 

 smooth. Color, bright glossy crimson, with golden seeds. 

 Firm for so large a berry, and will stand shipping to dis- 

 tant market except in a very wet time. Quality as good 

 as the best, an almost ideal berry and one that will com- 

 mand fancy prices on any market." 



E. S. Carmen, of the Rural New Yorker, says the Ridge- 

 way seems to be one of the most promising varieties 

 among the new strawberries. 



Price, (pot-grown plants'), 75c. per doz., $5.00 per 100. 



Strawberry Plants mailed free at the dozen price, but to the 100 price, if desired by mail, add 50c. for postage.
