2 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 



HENDERSON'S " FAHILY FAVORITE " STRAWBERRY. 



Bi-Sexual — Mid-Season. (Shown in colors on the front cover.) 



Q RELIABLE variety succeeding -well in all localities and soils -where strawberries can be grown. It is one of the 

 \1 finest and most attractive varieties grown for the home garden — the berries average very large, bluntly conical, 



■perfectly formed, never coxcombed and of rich, glossy crimson color, permeating the flesh almost to the centre, ren- 

 dering it the ideal dessert strawberry, and unsurpassed for canning and preserving. The flavor is exceptionally sweet; 



it is a bountiful producer of large berries and, considered from all points, is one of the most satisfactory family straw- 

 berries ever introduced. The plant is a strong, healthy, luxuriant grower, rooting deeply and indifferent to droughts, 



'the large foliage free from rust protects the flowers from late frosts, so it can always be depended upon to yield a 



^bountiful crop. It is a bi-sexual or perfect flowering variety, therefore does not require another variety to be planted 

 in conjunction with it to insure a crop. It is a second early variety and bears continuously for several weeks. 

 Price, pot grown plants that will bear a full crop next season, £1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100. 



Strawberry, 



"BRP>yWINE" 



{Bi-sexual: Mid-season to Very Late.) (See colored plate.) 

 ALTHOUGH the Brandy wine has only recently been offered to the public, yet it is already uorld 

 P famous from the superlatively flattering reports in the Horticultural press, from the experiment 

 stations and from strawberry critics to whom a few plants were given for trial. It has been thor- 

 oughly tested in many parts of the country and has given universal satisfaction, in fact, we doubt if 

 any strawberry ever before has received such enthusiastic praise over so wide an extent of territory. 

 The berries of the '• Brandy wine" are of magnificent ?nd immense size— very firm, solid and 

 shapely for so large a berry. In general it is broadly heart-shaped without neck, occasionally fruits 

 will be found shaped as if two berries were joined together ; flesh red to the core, of delightful aroma, 

 rich, juicy and luscious. The seeds are but slightly imbedded, which adds to its firmness. The color 

 is of a rich, dark glossy scarlet. Colors uniformly all over, no white blotches nor green tips, and its 

 large green calyx greatly adds to the attractiveness of the fruit. In productiveness the Brandy wine 

 strawberry is truly a marvel, both in size and quantity. The splendid large berries are borne on 

 .stiff, stout stems, ripening in succession for a long period, from mid-sea. on until the very latest, 

 Jaolding up its size to the last and every berry coming to maturity. The plants of Brandy wine are 

 remarkably vigorous, healthy and hardy, throwing out strong runners, the foliage is of the largest 

 and thriftiest, entirely free from scald or blemish. Price, \ for pot-grown plants that will bear a futl 

 crop of berries next spring), 75c. per doz. $5.00 per 100.
