DBEEB'S MID-SUMMEB CATALOGUE 



President* i^te, Fistiuate. 



A variety of New Jersey origin, introduced six years ago, and 

 which has given perfect satisfaction. The President leads all 

 other varieties in the development of fruits, every plant pro- 

 ducing large clusters, and better still seems inclined to perfect 

 and bring to large size every berry. The color is bright and 

 clear, the flesh firm and the seeds few and widely separated. 

 It comes in with such late varieties as Gandy. 60 cents per 

 doz. ; ;jS4.oo per 100 ; ^^30.00 per 1000. 



Sample* Mid-Season to Late, Pistillate. 



This is one of the few berries that has fulfilled every promise 

 made on its introduction and is now a standard variety in many 

 parts of the country. It seems to do well under all conditions, 

 a strong free grower and producing seemingly impossible large 

 crops of perfectly formed bright red delicious fruit. You can 

 plant this in quantity without misgiving — it should be planted in 

 close proximity to a perfect flowering sort. 50 cts. per doz. ; 

 ^3.50 per 100 ; S30.00 per 1000. 



SbarpleSS. Mid-Season, Perfect. 



Though no longer the best berry that can be had, Sharpless 

 still has many friends who will have no other. This is strongly 

 illustrated in summarizing our sale of strawberries. We find 

 that up to within a few years back that Sharpless was the variety 

 we sold the greater quantity of, and even now it holds a good 

 second place. It is doubtful if there is anything of better flavor 

 on the market. 50 cts. per doz. ; $3.SOperioo; $30.00 per 1000. 



St. Louis. Early, Perfect. 



An exceptionally strong growing extra early variety, claimed 

 to be the largest extra early yet produced, it having been grown 

 so that twelve selected berries filled a quart basket. The fruit 

 is of a bright flame color, firm and of high quality, and borne 

 on long, stout stems. 60 cents per dozen ; $4.00 per 100. 



'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 connection 

 with the Marshall. The first berry to ripen on each fruit- 

 stalk, under high culture, is apt to be cockscombed ; all 

 others are of regular form. It is bright glossy red, the ideal 

 color for a strawberry. 50 cts. per doz.; 53- 5° per 100; 

 $30.00 per 1000. 



Dreer's Collection of Superb Strawberries 



All Pot-Grown Plants which will Produce a FULL CROP of Berries next June. 



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 Clyde for early, Nick Ohmer and Sharpless for mid- 

 season, Brandywine and Gandy's Prize for late, 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.
