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



"MARSHALL" 



(Bisexual: Mid-season.) 



THE berries are very beautiful and 

 average extraordinarily large— often 

 14 fill a quart measure. As an exhibition 

 berry and for home use it is peerless — it 

 captures the prize wherever exhibited 

 almost without exception. It is the first 

 of the-extra large varieties to ripen, and 

 although of great size, the fruit is rarelv 

 ever misshapen. The color is a rich glos- 

 sy crimson that every one admires — the 

 surface color running well into the flesh, 

 and the quality is far above the average! 

 As to productiveness, it will not yield as 

 large a number of berries as some var- 

 ieties, but when measured in quarts or 

 bushels, will be above the average. The 

 plant is faultless, a strong grower, often 

 standing 20 to 22 inches high, rooting 

 deeply and standing drought well. The 

 large, luxuriant foliage is sufficient to 

 protect the blossoms from late frosts

cts. per 



Fruit firm and handsome. In 

 productiveness it excels, succeed- 

 ing every where. We do not claim 

 for it mammoth size, but averag- 

 ing large and uniform. The ber- 

 ries color all over at once. It gave 

 us ripe fruit on May 22d. At a 

 single picking it does not give as 

 much fruit as some varieties that 

 go quickly, but from first to last 

 we have never seen a strawberry 

 yield so much fruit. Price, ( pot- 

 grown plants\ 50c. per doz.. $3.50 

 per 100. 



"Margaret." 



(Bisexual ■ Mid-season.) 



This variety has made a re- 

 markable record — perhaps never 

 equalled, and is now offered with 

 great confidence. It responds 

 readily to good culture, and all 

 careful growers may expect it to 

 produce the finest fruit in great 

 abundance The plant is large 

 and healthy and so vigorous in 

 growth that it will mature its last 

 berries and continue green and MARSHALL, 



luxuriant while an abundance of 



strong runners are produced The foliage is dark green, and so clean and 

 healthy looking that it is a pleasure to work among the plants. The blos- 

 som is perfect and one of the strongest ever seen. It commences to ripen 



soon after the early var- 

 ieties, and bears until 

 nearly all others are gone. 

 With a good chance its 

 berries are all of large 

 size. The plant with its 

 habits of growth and pro- 

 ductiveness is faultless. 

 The fruit is usually con- 

 ical, sometimes "rather 

 long, but never cox- 

 combed or misshaped, 

 often necked. The color 

 is dark, glossy red. and 

 the berries are not in- 

 clined to have white tips. 

 The large, green calyx 

 adds to its beauty. The 

 flesh L; firmer than most 

 very large berries, and 

 of excellent flavor. For 

 healthy. vigorous 

 growth, productiveness, 

 size, beauty and quality 

 the Margaret is a re- 

 markable variety. 



JERSEY MARKET. 



JERSEY MKET. 



(Pistillate: Mid-season.) 

 An ideal Market Straw- 

 berry, combining all of the 

 essential good qualities 

 needed in a berry to sell, viz. 

 firmness, brightcolor, good 

 keeping qualities, product- 

 iveness, uniformly good size 

 and fine quality on a strong, 

 healthy plant. " In a general 

 way it is an improved Chas 

 Downing, resembling that 

 old reliable in appearance, 

 but it is larger, firmer in tex- 

 ture, of a bright crimson col- 

 or. The individual berries 

 are not mammoth in size, but 

 it is a bountiful and reliable 

 yielder under all conditions ; 

 a strictly business sort that 

 everyone can depend upon.
