Henderson's Triumvirate of New Strawberries 



MAYTIME (Very Early, Perfect Flowering) 



This brand new introduction of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture is the sweetest* 

 and most attractive extra early strawberry that has ever been developed. In 

 size it is slightly smaller than Dorsett, but it makes up in prolificacy. The plant 

 develops a vigorous, healthy growth. 



From the results obtained at various test plots, Maytime is highly acclaimed 

 lor its extreme earliness, its high quality and its sweet and delicious flavor. 



Price, 75c doz.; $6.00 per 100. 



STARBRIGHT (Medium Early to Late) 



Developed by Dr. George M. Darrow, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, 

 under whose direction were originated the popular varieties. Fairfax and Dorsett, 

 we believe that this new berry possesses everything that could be desired in a 

 garden fruit. It is beautiful in appearance, of fine form, extra large and uniform, 

 with a bright brilliant color that inspired its name. Its flavor is, however, its 

 chief attraction — a true rich strawberry flavor, with a sweetness that should 

 preclude the necessity of any additional sugaring. 



The plant is very vigorous, the foilage is deep rich green and leathery. 



Price, 75c doz. ; $6.00 per 100. 



RED STAR (Very Late, Perfect Flowering) 



Commercial growers and home gardeners alike are demanding an extremely 

 late strawberry of good quality. From the commercial angle because, very late 

 berries bring good prices; and, from the home gardener's standpoint because, 

 whetted appetites demand more and more delicious fruit. Extensive tests have 

 firoven that Red Star is the latest variety in cultivation, surpassing all of the 

 popular late sorts. 



The berries average very large and are bright red and glossy. The plant makes 

 a luxuriant large growth. 



Price, 75c doz.; $6.00 per 100. 



Select Standard Strawberries 



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 appearance. 



The outstanding merit of this berry, however, is not its size, or appearance, 

 but its delicious flavor. 



Price, 60c per doz.; $4.00 per 100. 



FAIRFAX (Early to Mid-season, Perfect Flowering) 



The plants are very hardy and disease resistant. The flower stalks are strong, 

 and produce quantities of perfect heavily pollened flowers that are larger than 

 most strawberry 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. 



Price, 60c per doz.; $4.00 per 100. 



PATHFINDER (Mid-season, Perfect Flowering) 



It is an ideal Strawberry for the home garden, because its texture is 

 soft and luscious. It also possesses a tantalizing aroma which be- 

 speaks a delightful piquant flavor. It is disease resistant and can be 

 grown successfully in areas where the Red Steele fungus is prevalent. 



Price, 60c doz. ; $4.00 per 100. 



BLAKEMORE (Early, Perfect Flowering) 



The ideal strawberry for the Southern states, surpassing by far the 

 old Missionary variety. It is not recommended for cultivation North 

 of Baltimore. 



Blakemore, produces attractive fruit of medium size in great abun- 

 dance. The flesh is very firm which makes it ideal for shipping. Its 

 flavor is rich though slightly tart. The plant is extremely vigorous 

 and disease resistant.
