STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



"COMMON^ 

 WEALTH " 



{Very Late — Perfect Flowering.) 

 Shown in color on back cover. 



This most valuable very late 

 strawberry was raised by a gentle- 

 man in Massachusetts, and is the 

 result of his effort to produce a 

 berry which would perceptibly 

 lengthen the strawberry season. 

 In the " Commonwealth " we have 

 a berry as large as the largest — as 

 productive as any of the large 

 fruiting varieties, and as fine flav- 

 ored and juicy and as dark colored 

 as any strawberry grown. The 

 berries of the largest size are 

 broadly cone shaped and quite 

 smooth — moreover, it is very late. 

 On the 17th of July as good berries 

 were picked from it as earlier in 

 the season; the last berries were 

 picked July 22 (Marshall, Mc- 

 Kinley and Glen Mary grown side 

 by side with it being gone). The 

 plant is a good strong grower — 

 hardy, shows no sign of rust, and 

 bears a strong staminate blossom. 

 It is exceedingly productive. The 

 Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety awarded the " Common- 

 wealth " strawberry first prize 

 over all competitors.

EAKLY OZARK. 



(Extra Early — Perfect Flowering.) 

 Shown in color on back cover. 



A very promising new strawberry from Mis- 

 souri. It is a cross between the popular varieties 

 Aroma and Excelsior. The originator says " it 

 is the largest extremely early berry ever intro- 

 duced ripening with the small " Michel's Early " 

 and as big as the late large fruiting sorts;" 15 

 berries of Ozark often fill a quart basket." 



The berries are almost round and bright red 

 in color. The plant is a grand grower with 

 healthy large dark green leathery foliage, and 

 exceedingly prolific. 



Price, (pot-grown plants) 60c. doz.; $4.00 per 

 100; $35.00 per 1000. 



EXCELSIOR. 



(Extra Earl j — Perfect Flowering.) 



This variety promises to be one of the very best extra earlies yet intro- 

 duced^it ripens three to four days earlier than Michel's Early and is a 

 vigorous, healthy grower — unusually productive for so early a sort — out- 

 yielding other standard earliest two to one, while the fruit averages large- 

 is very handsome and firm. 



Price, (pot-grown plants), 50c. per doz.; $3.50 per 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



FENDALL. 



(Mid-season to Late — Perfect Flowering.) 



This new candidate for popular favor is a seedling of the splendid va- 

 riety — Wm. Belt. The merits of the Fendall are great vigor of plant, splendid root-system, wonderful productive- 

 ness, large size of fruit, fine flavor and length of bearing season. The berries are perfect beauties, rich red in color, 

 smooth and glossy, with long stems and large showy caps. In size the berries are not surpassed by those of any 

 other variety grown while the flavor is superior to that of most large fruited sorts. The plants root so deeply 

 the roots going 10 to 12 inches in the ground that they are but little influenced by droughts — yielding a good 

 crop when most other sorts are shy- under this condition. The length of bearing season is unusual — berries picked 

 from June 2 to July 10 is its record. Price, (pot-grown plants), 60c. per doz.; $4.00perl00; $35 . 00 per 1000.
