QUART BASKET OF TIMBRELL PHOTOGRAPHED FROM NATURE. 



TIMBRELL.— The Queen of Strawberries. {Pistillate : Late.) 



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

 tainly is the best late pistillate, and seems perfection in every way — it is destined to become wonderf ully 

 populsr when further disseminated as reports from those who have grown it, enthusiastically praise it. 

 The magnificent berries are borne in immense clusters of ten 26 to 30 berries to a stem, and are of the lar- 

 gest size and delightful flavor, rich, juicy and sprightly ; by some thought the finest quality of any straw- 

 berry in cultivation. In shape nearly round and generally very svmmetrical, very solid and meaty ; color, 

 very dark crimson, a litt'e 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 al^o 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 ac- 

 count of the Timbrell being a pistillate variety it should hare some late flower- 

 ing bisexual sort, such as Brandyzvine, Yale or Gandy planted ez cry third 

 row to pollcnize the blossoms." Price, {pot-grown plants), 75c. per doz., 

 $5x0 per 100. 



The Rural New Yorker in issue of June 1 5th says : u . . . If we 

 were desirous of setting out a new bed for home use, we would 

 plant of all varieties in our present collection the ' Timbrell ' and 

 Brandy wine, and if confined to but one of the two, WOULD CHOOSE 

 the TIMBRELL On ACCOUNT of its EXCELLENT QUALITY." 



Yale. {Bisexual: Very late.) 

 A very late variety of great merit requiring hill culture 

 and rich soil for best results ; plant, vigorous, a heavy 

 bearer. Fruit of good shape, large and round ; very solid 

 with all the seeds on the surface. Color deep dark red 

 running through the flesh. In quality it is superior, 

 sprightly, delicious and a great favorite for table, market 

 or canning. One quart will impart a rich color to four 

 or five quarts of any other. It is, one of our best late 

 varieties, adding 10 to 12 days to the strawberry season. 

 Price, {pot-grown plants), 60c. per doz , $4.00 per 100. 



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