PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— STRAWBERt Y PLANTS. 



The "Belle" or Lady 

 Finger. 



{Bisexual : Mid-season to late.) 

 This new Strawberry was sent out by 

 the originator for trial in 1893, as Thomp- 

 son's No. 51. It has proved to be a most 

 promising variety, and when given high 

 culture it has merited the enthusiastic 

 praise given it, and proven wonderfully 

 productive 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. The plants were in full 

 bloom on May t 4th, when there was a hard 

 frost, and on the 15th, water froze % of an 

 inch thick near the the plants, yet this vari- 

 ety was apparently uninjured, while other 

 sorts were nearly ruined. We picked fruit 

 from the "Belle" last season for 32 days, 

 commencing June 1 th. Plants above me- 

 dium size, perfect in vigor and habit, and 

 without trace of rust or blight. (See cut.) 

 Price, {pot- rown plants) 75c. doz.; $-.00 100. 



Bubach No. 5. 



{Pistillate : Mid-season?) 

 Probably the best known and 

 most popular of all large straw- 

 berries. It is a rare thing for this 

 variety to fail in any locality. 

 It has hardly a rival, all things 

 considered, for a home berry. 

 It is a wonder in its season of 

 fruit, completely covering the 

 ground about the plant with 

 large berries. The berries are 

 remarkably large and continue 

 large to the last picking, round- 

 ish, slightly fattened and usu- 

 allycreased on one or both sides 

 medium firm and quality good, 

 <color orange scarlet, ripening 

 -well and even ; it is certainly the 

 largest yielder of big fruit that 

 grows. The plant is a beauty, 

 strong, healthy, vigorous; but 

 umf ortunately for us a poor pro- 

 ducer of runners. It is strictly 

 pistillate and requires some bi- 

 sexual variety to be planted near to pollenize it. 

 Price- {pot-grown plants) 50c. per doz.; $.,.50 per 100 



BUBACH NO. 



BARTON'S ECLIPSE. 



Barton's Eclipse. 



{Early : Pistillate?) 

 One of the best new sorts and 

 will prove a standard berry. 

 Originating in Kentucky and in- 

 troduced as the largest berry in 

 the world, and one that would 

 yield enormously with good 

 culture. It certainly has been 

 growing in favor for four or 

 five years, and some growers 

 consider it the most valuable 

 variety ever sent out. For 

 healthy, vigorous growth and 

 great productiveness, it is prob- 

 ably not surpassed. The fruit is 

 very large, of roundish, conical 

 form, sometimes uneven on the 

 surface, of medium firmness, 

 bright, dark glossy red, and of 

 extra good quality. This with 

 Parker Earle and Princess can- 



not be surpassed by any other 

 {See cut.) I three sorts in cultivation for productiveness. {See cut.) 

 I Price, {pot-grown plants) 50c per doz.; $3.50 per 100. 



BederWOOd, (Rackster.) Bisexual: Early. 

 A new and exceedingly valuable early strawberry. Conceded 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 productive. The 

 plant is faultless, of healthy, vigorous growth, and an enormous bearer, perhaps equal to any of the pistillate sorts in this 

 Tespect, the berries are of large size, of regular roundish form, light scarlet, ot excellent quality, remaining in fruit a long 

 time. We picked berries from it every day for a month last season. {See cut!) Price, {pot-grown plants), b^c. doz.; $4.co 100. 



Beverly. 



BEDERWOOD. 



(Bisexual: Mid-season to late.) 

 A new and grand rnedium- 

 to-late berry that has proved 

 to be a valuable acquisition. 

 The fruit is perfection in 

 shape and color and of very 

 superior flavor, resembling 

 that of the wild strawberry. 

 Berry large.Tounded conical, 

 dark varnished crimson, 

 colors all over, flesh pink and 

 I of fine texture. The plant is 

 I faultless, very vigorous, up- 

 [ right and healthy ; and it re- 

 mains in bearing from early 

 in June until the latter part 

 of July, the berries holding 

 remarkably large to the last 

 picking ; astonishingly pro- 

 ductive and easily picked, 

 and retaining its rich color 

 a long time. As a market berry it is 

 unrivalled and sells on sight. It has re- 

 ceived four prizes from the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society within 13 months.
