T RANSPLANTED P LANTS. 



From our extensive collection we have selected the varieties offered 

 as the best for general use. They were transplanted into cold frames 

 in the tall, and if planted out any time before May 5th, will, under 

 proper conditions, fruit some the present year. 



All the varieties offered are perfect flowering (bisexual) except 

 where marked P or Pistillate. The latter must have a row of a perfect 

 flowering sort every nine or twelve feet to pollenize their blossoms. 



NEW FAMILY STRAWBERRY, "RELIANCE." 



This is a perfect flowered variety, ripens with the " Marshall '' 

 and has a long season. This is only one of its valuable traits. 



The Fruit resembles the " Mary " in shape, but larger and heavier. 

 It is remarkably uniform in shape for such a large berry. 



The Quality is unsurpassed, juicy, luscious, solid to the center, the 

 flavor being wdiat is generally known as " mild." 



The Color is dark crimson, very glossy and attractive, remarkably 

 even all over the berry, never showing a white tip. 



The Growth is excellent; large, deep green, handsome foliage. The 

 fruit is borne on strong stalks and in great profusion, as may be seen 

 in the cut, which is a photograph of a plant in the field. 



Price, 60c. per doz., $4.00 per 100, $30.00 per 1.000.

 of the season. In every way a grand berry.

 name was given because of its brilliant color.
