HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA—STRAWBERRY PLANTS 3 
CLYDE. 
(Early to Mid-Season, Perfect.) 
A strong-growing, perfect blooming, healthy plant, with light 
green foliage. Everywhere tested, it proves to be exceedingly 
productive, of large, globular, perfectly formed, light scarlet 
berries of fine quality. Always inclined to overbear. Some 
plants have more fruit stalks than leaf stalks. A light applica- 
tion of nitrate of soda in early spring, before fruiting or a top- 
dressing of stable manure in winter, will stimulate greater foliage 
growth, and so help the fruiting of this remarkable variety. 60 
cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 
EARLY JERSEY GIANT. 
(Early, Perfect.) 
This is one of Dr. Van Fleet’s hybrids, the result of crossing 
some of the finest European varieties with the best American 
sorts, resulting in a variety which ripens with the earliest. 
Berries very large, brilliant, scarlet crimson, conical, with 
pointed tip, colors all over at once, has a delightful aroma 
and mild wild strawberry flavor. The plant is a strong 
grower and heavy yielder. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; 
$35.00 per 1000. 
EARLY OZARK. 
(Early, Perfect.) 
A wonderful early berry over which many commercial 
growers have become very enthusiastic on account of its 
large size which makes it a most desirable addition to the 
early ripening varieties. From our own observations we can 
recommend this variety highly as an enormous bearer of 
good sized uniform round berries of most agreeable flavor 
and attractive appearance. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; 
$35.00 per 1000.

GANDW’S PRIZE. 
(Late, Perfect.) 
This is still the standard late variety, which has held its 
own for many years and by which every new late berry is 
judged. Itisa strong healthy grower, but needs a rich soit 
for its perfect development. The berries are borne on long, 
strong stalks, well above the ground. No better late berry 
can be wished for; a variety that is hard to beat. 60 cts. 
per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 
GLEN MARY. 
(Mid-Season to Late, Imperfectly Bi-sexual. ) 
Described by a large grower as follows: ‘‘I bave knowa 
it since its first bearing, and firmly believe it deserves the 
>) 
title of ‘the berry grower’s money maker. It makes a 
very strong plant, but few of them. This reduces the cost 
of keeping the row in proper shape for fruiting. Its roots 
are enormous, enabling it to ripen its great crop of monster 
berries in the dryest season. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 pec 
100; $35.00 per 1000. 
HERITAGE. 
(Very Late, Perfect.) 
A variety that is deservedly gaining great popularity. It orig- 
inated in New Jersey, and its disseminator, who is a commercial 
grower of berries, says: “For nearly forty years I have grown 
strawberries, and having tested hundreds of standard varieties 
and as many seedlings, feel qualified to assert that with me it is 
the most productive and most valuable variety I have ever 
seen.’? The plant is a vigorous rampant grower and prodigi- 
ous yielder. Berries uniformly very large, dark shining crim- 
son, conical, uniform in size and shape and of superior quality 
and solid texture. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per. 100; $35.09 
per 1000.
