PETER HENDERSON & CO.. NEW YORK.— POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 7 



"niCHIGAN" 



{Bisexual : Extra Late.) (See colored plate.) 



NEW STRAWBERRY.— The latest of all, and one of 

 the best of all lates. It is truly 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 reliable 

 late Gandy in size, quality and delicious flavor but it 

 ripens from ten days to two weeks later When the 

 Gandy is at its best, the berries of the Michigan only 

 begins to show color. In form it is bluntly conical, 

 exceptionally uniform in size and shape, and of a 

 bright rich crimson color. The plant is a strong 

 healthy grower, with luxuriant foliage and exceed- 

 ingly productive. Its extreme lateness in ripening, 

 large size, great productiveness and fine quality, ren- 

 der it of the highest value. 

 It is unexcelled for canning 

 by reason of its fine quality, 

 and firmness. 

 Price, {pot- 



grown plants) 

 75c. per doz. 

 $5.00 per 100. 



NEW STRAWBERRY, NO. 12. 



For which we are offering $85.00 for names. 



See full description and conditions on the back cover. 



TWO CROPS PRODUCED IN ONE SEASON. 



For several seasons past our attention has been called 

 to a strawberry which made its appearance in the New 

 York market in September, and we ware at first loath to 

 believe that the fruit could be obtained under natural 

 conditions at that season of the year. Investigation, how- 

 ever, showed that such was the case ; the fruit was picked 

 in the open field from the 

 same plants that produced 

 a bounteous crop in June. 

 For full descrip- 

 tion see back cover. 

 Price, (including 

 privilege of sug- 

 gesting a name), 

 3 plants for 25c, 

 12 for $1.00; 25 

 for $2.00; 50 for 

 1.75; 100 for $7.00. 



Strawberry, The 



"NICK OHflEH." 



Bisexual: Mid-season. 



A new berry of Ohio origin and 

 named after the Ex-President of 

 the Ohio State Horticultural Society, 

 and described thus by Mr. Crawford, 

 the veteran strawberry authority : After 

 watching the "Nick Ohmer" three years, 

 and hearing how it has behaved wherever 

 I sent it for trial, never having received 

 one unfavorable report on it, I am confi- 

 dent that it is one of the most desirable, 

 if not the verv best ever sent cut There 

 is no other in the market or in sight, that 

 I would plant with as much confidence. 

 If restricted to a single variety it would be my first 

 choice without a moment's hesitat'on. 



The plant is very large and stocky, sending out plenty 

 of very strong runners. It is probably not surpassed in 

 healthy, vigorous growth and great productiveness by 

 any variety. It has a perfect blossom. The fruit is of 

 the very largest size, a giant among strawberries. It is 

 never misshapen. Its only departure from the regular, 

 roundish conical form is when, under high culture, it is 

 some what triangular. It is dark glossy red, firm and of 

 excellent flavor. Price, (pot-grown plants that will bear 

 a full crop of berries next season), $1.00 per doz , $6.00 

 per 100. 



President flcKinley. 



(Bisexual : Mid-season.) 

 See colored plate. 



The number of new strawberries 



annually introduced is so great that 



we almost hesitate to add to the 



list, but this new variety has so 



many desirable qualities that we 



believe it deserves recognition and 



dissemination. 



It has been thoroughly tested on our grounds the last 



two years, among the many kinds of new and old that we 



have growing ; it has many joints of superiority, being 



conspicuous for its size, shane, 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 ; flow- 

 ers bisexual or perfect. 



We can confidently recommend it for the home garden 

 and also for nearby market. 



Price, {.pot-grown plants that will bear a full crop of 

 berries next season), 75c. per doz. $5 00 per 100. 



Strawberry PI nts mailed free at the doien price, but to the ioo price, if dasired. by ma;l, add 50c. for postage.
