TRANSPLANTED STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 



If wanted by mail, add 25c. per 100. 



From our extensive collection we have selected the varieties offered as the best for general use. The Strawberry plants we offer, 

 being strong, layered plants which were transplanted into cold frames in the fall, if planted out any time before May 5th, will, under 

 proper conditions, give quite a nice lot of fruit the present year. These plants are superior to untransplanted "layers." 



McKINIiEY. (Midseason.) Conspicuous for its size, shape, color 

 and quality. Shape roundish, inclining to conical, but some- 

 times flattened or coclfscombed ; color crimson ; flesh mi)derately 

 firm, and quality extra good. Plant is vigorous and healthy. 



MICHIGAN. (Late.) The latest of all berries and should be 

 planted by all who desire to extend the Strawberry season to 

 its utmost limits. Large size, prime quality and delicious flavor. 

 Form bluntly conical, color bright rich crimson. 



NIC. OHMER. A giant among Strawberries, it is never mis- 

 shaped. Dark glossy red, firm and of excellent flavor. Plant 

 large and healthy, and rooting deeply. 



RIDGEWAY. The ideal berry for the family table or home 

 market. Quality unsurpassed, the size will average large to very 

 large, berries nearly round, bright crimson with golden seed. 



WM. BELT. Another new Strawberry that is sure to make its 

 mark. For size alone it ranks among the best, producing 

 berries twelve of which will fill a quart measure. The fruit is 

 conical, rather long, regular in outline, bright red and glossy. 



BRANDYWIlfE. (Midseason to very late.) Brandywine is al- 

 ready ivorld-famous ; in fact, we doubt if any Strawberry ever be- 

 fore has received such enthusiastic praise over so wide an extent 

 of territory. The berries are of large size, glossy scarlet, very 

 firm, solid and shapely, of delightful aroma, rich, juicy and 

 luscious, and wonderfully productive. {See cut.) 



BISMARCK. (Midseason.) An improvement upon Bubach No. 

 5, being more robust and stocky and more productive. Berries 

 very large, bluntly conical, bright scarlet, firm and solid and of 

 excellent quality. A grand berry in every way. 



CLYDE. (Early to midseason.) This is the great shipping berry, 

 a money-maker for the gardener and a boon for the amateur, as 

 it does well where all others fail. Berries roundish-conical, 

 bright scarlet, fine quality, very productive. 



JERSEY MARKET. (Pistillate.) An ideal market berry, combin- 

 ing firmness, bright color, good keeping qualities, productive- 

 ness, good flavor, uniformly good size and vigorous growth. 



MARGARET. A remarkable berry in many respects, large size, 

 fine flavor, late in bearing, plant of wonderful strength, and 

 great productiveness. All who have tried it are delighted with it. 



MARSHALL. (Midseason.) The berries are very beautiful and 

 average extraordinarily large^often 14 will fill a quart measure. 

 As a berry for home use it is peerless. It is the first of the 

 extra large varieties to ripen, and although of great size the fruit 

 is rarely ever misshapen. The color is a ricli glossy crimson 

 that every »ne admires, the surface color running well into the 

 flesh, and the quality is far above the average.
