Henderson's "Succession" Collection. 



Lengthens the Strawberry Season to the maximum limits. 



All are pot-grown plants. If set 

 out this Summer they will bear^^ 



A FULL CROP OF BERRIES NEXT SEASON. 



This collection we considered THE BEST set of Strawberries that can be gotten together 

 for the home garden ; we have devoted much time and careful study to the selection of the 

 varieties comprising the set, f rom our trial beds containing nearly 200 varieties. 



They are bountifully fruiting strawberries, further enhanced by the careful selection 

 of pistillate and bi-sexual pollen izers that bloom together in the early mid-season and the 

 late classes, thereby ensuring the greatest possible yield of large, finely flavored and 

 perfectly formed berries. 



They are all SWEET, LUCIOUS STRAWBERRIES for home use, where they can be 

 picked thoroughly ripe rich, melting and delicious, gratifying the daintiest palate and 

 besides all are BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECTLY FORMED STRAWBERRIES, of the largest 

 size obtainable in the various classes, all ATTRACTIVELY COLORED, RICH AND GLOSSY, 

 with surface color permeating the flesh as well, rendering them " temptingly appetizing " 

 and the Ideal desert fruit. 



IS COMPRISED OF THE FOLLOWING 

 NINE UNRIVALLED VARIETIES: 



HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION COLLECTION OF STWBEIffilES 



EARLIEST. 



MID-SEASON. 



LVTE. 



BEDER WOOD. Perfect flowering. 



Conceded to be the bes.t early berry 

 for home use and worthy of great 

 praise. It is not only very early, but 

 immensely productive of healthy, 

 vigorous growth, and an enormous 

 bearer, perhaps equal to any of the 

 pistillate sorts in this respect: the ber- 

 ries are of large size, of regular roun- 

 dish form, light scarlet of excellent 

 quality. Price, 50;. doz., §3.50 per 100. 

 HAVERLAND. Pistillate. 



One of the best varieties in exis- 

 tence ; extra early and marvellously 

 productive, particularly in rich deep 

 soil. The long glossy bright crimson 

 berries fairly cover the ground. It is 

 exceedingly vigorous and healthy, 

 bearing large, handsome fruit of fine 

 quality. Since its introduction, it has 

 been grown everywhere and proved 

 itself adapted to any soil or climate 

 and receives nothing but praise from 

 every source. 



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

 MICHEL'S EARLY. Perfectflowering. 



The earliest strawberry that will 

 produce a full crop of berries On 

 our grounds, this late season, we 

 picked ripe fruit on May 23d, or ahead 

 of any other sort on the market out of 

 nearly 200 varieties in our trial beds. 

 A robust grower, rooting deeply, and 

 throwing large luxuriant foliage on 

 long stems 'with never a trace of rust 

 or mildew. It yields bountifully ; 

 berries medium to large, handsome, 

 regular conical form, color light scar- 

 let, flavor exquisite, pronounced bv 

 all who have tested it equal to that of 

 the wild strawberry. 



Price, 50c. doz., §3.50 per 100. 



PRES. McKINLEY. Perfect flowering. 



A new variety, having many points 

 of superiority, being conspicuous for 

 its size, shape, color, and quality. In 

 size it is unusually large ; shape 

 roundish, inclining to conical, but 

 sometimes flattened or coxcombed ; 

 color crimson: flesh moderately firm, 

 and quality extra good. The plant is 

 vigorous, healthy, and a great yielder. 



Price, 75c. doz., $5.00 per 100. 



BUBACH. Pistillate. 



Probably the most popular of all 

 large Strawberries. It has hardly a 

 rival for a home berry. The berries 

 are remarkably large and continue 

 large to the last picking, roundish, 

 slightly fattened and unusually 

 creased ononeorboth sides, medium, 

 firm, and quality good ; color orange 

 scarlet, ripening well and even ; it is 

 the largest yielder of big fruit that 

 grows. The plant is vigorous. 



Price, 50c. doz., §3.50 per 100. 



MARSHALL. Perfectflowering. 



The berries are very beautiful and 

 average extraordinarily large— often 

 14 fill a quart measure. As an exhibi- 

 tion berry and for home use it is peer- 

 less. It is the first of the extra large 

 varieties to ripen, and although of 

 great size the fruit is rarely ever 

 mishapen. The color is a rich glossy 

 crimson, and the quality far above the 

 average. As to productiveness, it will 

 not yield as large a number of berries 

 as some varieties, but when measured 

 in quarts or bushels, wLl be above the 

 average. The plant is a strong grower. 



Price, 60c. doz., §4.00 per 100. 



BRANDYWINE. Perfect flowering. 



The berries are of magnificent and 

 immense size — very firm, solid and 

 shapely, broadly heart-shaped with- 

 out neck, flesh red to the core, of 

 delightful aroma, rich, juicy and lus- 

 cious. The color is of a rich dark 

 glossy scarlet. In productiveness it 

 is a marvel, both in size and quantity. 

 The plants are remarkably vigorous. 



Price, 75c. doz., §5.00 per 100. 



TIMBRELL. Pistillate. 



The Timbrell is the best late pistil- 

 late. The magnificent berries are 

 borne in immense clusters often 26 to 

 30 berries to a stem, and are of the 

 largest size and delightful flavor, rich, 

 juicy and sprightly; by some thought 

 the finest quality of any strawberry 

 in cultivation. In shape nearly round 

 and generally very symmetrical, very 

 solid and meaty ; color, very dark 

 crimson, a little patchy at first, but 

 when fully ripe, a solid crimson. The 

 fruit ripens very late. 



Price, 60c. doz., §4.00 per 100. 

 MICHIGAN. Perfectflowering. 



A new strawberry — the latest of all. 

 A superb sort and should be planted 

 by every one desiring to extend the 

 strawberry season to its utmost limits. 

 It is not only a handsome fine berry, 

 equalling the good old Gandy in size, 

 quality and delicious flavor, but it 

 ripens from ten days to two weeks 

 later. Form, bluntly conical, excep- 

 tionally uniform, and of a bright rich 

 crimson color. The plant is strong 

 and healthy, and exceedingly pro- 

 ductive. 



Price, 75c. doz., §5.00 per 100.
