HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA—STRAWBERRY PLANTS 5 
WILDWOOD. - 
(Extra Early, Perfect.) 
Wildwood has been a surprise to us and is a berry 
that will delight every amateur. In our trial grounds it 
is the earliest to ripen by several days. With berries of 
large size, which ripen all over, these are held well above 
the plants on stout stiff stems and have the aroma and 
flavor of the wild strawberry. We cannot recommend 
this berry too highly for home use. 60 cts. per doz. ; 
$4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 
WILLIAM BELT. 
(Mid-Season, Perfect.) 
For vigorous growth, great productiveness, size, beauty 
and fine quality one of the very best. It is grown by the 
acre for fancy fruit, and is generally mentioned in con- 
nection with the Marshall. The first berry to ripen on 
each fruit-stalk, under high culture, is apt to be cocks- 
combed; all others are of regular form. It is of bright, 
glossy red, the ideal color for a strawberry. 60 cts. per 
doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. _ : 
Dreer’s “Home Garden” Collection of Strawberries 
All Pot-Grown Plants which will Produce a FULL CROP of Berries next Summer. 
Notwithstanding the care we take in keeping our list down so as to include only varieties of sterling merit, the amateur finds 
difficulty in making a selection that will produce a bountiful supply of the finest fruit from the beginning to the end of the season, 
It is for such that we offer this collection, made up of Marshall and Wildwood for early, Brandywine for mid-season, 
Chesapeake and Gandy’s Prize for late, and Progressive for an Autumn bearing variety, all of them sorts which adapt 
themselves to the most varied conditions of soil and climate, and which, in our judgment, combine in -the highest degree all the 
qualities which high-grade strawberries should have.

The Two Best Autumn-Fruiting 
or Everbearing Strawberries. 
Fall bearing Strawberries of European origin have little value 
for planting in our trying climate. The two varieties offered 
below are of American origin and under ordinary conditions 
produce their main crop of fruit at the same time as other varie- 
ties and keep on bearing until frost. The proper plan is to cut 
off all buds as they appear until late in July, and thus conserve 
the strength of the plants for the fall crop. Treated in this 
way an abundant crop of berries may be looked for during 
September and October, or if the disbudding of part of the 
plants is discontinued late in June an almost contiauous crop of 
this luscious fruit may be secured throughout the growing season. 
Good cultivation is essential to bring about the best results, a 
liberal mulching during the summer is beneficial and the plants 
should not be allowed to suffer for lack of water at any time. 
Progressive. The strongest growing and most prolific fruit- 
ing of the two varieties, berries of fair size and produced in 
great abundance; they are of an attractive deep, glossy crim- 
son color and of good flavor. 
Superb. Very free fruiting and for size of berries, handsome 
appearance and quality it is at the head of this type, sur- 
passing in this respect some of the June fruiting varieties. 
Price. Either of the Everbearing varieties, 65 cts. per doz. ; 
$5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000.
