STRAWBERRIES, HERBS and VEGETABLE ROOTS FOR THE HOME GARDEN

STRAWBERRIES HENDERSON’S SELECTIONS 
NEW VARIETIES 
STANDARD VARIETIES 
The Strawberries following were transplanted into cold frames in the fall, and if planted out any time before 
May 5th, will, under proper conditions, fruit some in the present year. 
All the varieties oftered are perfect flowering (bisexual) except where marked P or pistillate. The latter must 
have a row of a perfect flowering sort every nine or twelve feet to pollenize their blossoms. 
CATSKILL 
(Mid-season, Perfect Flowering) _ 
Recently developed at the New York Experiment 
Station, Geneva, N. Y. The plant is extremely 
vigorous and produces quantities of runners. The 
fruit is very large, somewhat elongated and it must 
be classified as a strictly fancy berry, because of its 
bright color and dark green cap, which gives it a 
most attractive appearance. The fruit is delicious 
in flavor and it possesses a melting tenderness due 
to its being somewhat softer than most varieties. 
This makes it most desirable for the home garden 
and for roadside stand trade. 
DORSETT 
(Early to Mid-season, Perfect Flowering) 
The plants are vigorous, with deep rich green 
foliage, runners are produced in abundance. The 
flowery stalks are strong, and the fruit is held well 
above the ground. The beautifully molded, conically 
shaped, bright red berries are 
-large and uniform in appear- 
ance. 
The outstanding merit of this 
berry, however, is not its 
size, Or appearance, but its 
delicious flavor. 
FAIRFAX 
(Early to Mid-season, 
Perfect Flowering) 
This variety has often been 
referred to as the berry ‘fit 
for a king.”’ 
The plants are very hardy 
The 
flower stalks are strong, and 
produce quantities of perfect 
heavily pollened flowers that 
are larger than most straw- 
berry blossoms. The berries 
are very large, somewhat 
blunt in shape, and bright red 
with prominent yellow seed. 
When over-ripe, the fruit turns 
dark red but still retains its 
firmness and delicious flavor.

berries, 60c per doz.; $3.50 
per 100; $20.00 per 1,000. 
CHESAPEAKE 
(Mid-season to Late, Pistillate.) A splendid grower 
making just enough runners for a matted row. The 
plants root deeply, are vigorous and healthy, with 
large foliage. One of the best in flavor, shape, size, 
color and appearance. 
EARLY JERSEY GIANT 
(Early, Perfect Flowering.) There is no known 
variety that ripens earlier and none bearing large 
berries that come near it in earliness. The berries 
are brilliant crimson scarlet in color, very firm, 
conical in shape, with pointed tip and it colors all 
over at once. They have a rich aroma, and delight - 
fully mild wild strawberry flavor.

NEW S TRA WBERRY “FAIRFAX”’ 
FALL-FRUITING VARIETIES 
The varieties described below will produce fruit 
at the same season as the ordinary strawberries, 
and keep on bearing until frost; yet to get the best 
results the blossoms should be kept cut off until 
August Ist, so as to conserve the energies of the 
plants for the fall crop. Treated in that way, 
ripe fruit will be borne in about three weeks 
after that date and continuously until frost. 
Champion Everbearing. This is one 
er varieties that promises to be a decidedly more 
prolific sort than Superb, which it resembles in 
habit of growth and appearance of fruit. 
Claimed to be ‘‘the biggest, 
Lucky Boy. sweetest, and most produc- 
tive ever-bearing strawberry as yet produced.” 
From its behavior with us and the enthusiastic 
reports we have received from other growers, we 
feel it is destined to be the ‘‘ever-bearing variety 
of the future.” 
Mastodon. Called 
by some 
the 
Wonderberry. A 
large, heavy yielding 
ever-bearing variety of. 
delicious flavor yields a 
large crop in June and 
continues to bear berries 
of amazing size and sur- 
passing quality through- 
out the summer and fall.

Varieties, 75c per doz.;
