HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



^ CHESAPEAKE (Late, Perfect) 

 A most reliable berry, which is giving perfect satisfaction 

 in all parts of the country', both in the home garden as well 

 as with market growers, many of the latter tising it for 

 their main crop. It is not a variety that sets an immense 

 quantity of fruit, but every blossom makes a berry, every 

 berry being well developed and strictly fancy, of good color 

 without any green tips and of highest quality. A berry that 

 we can recommend for all soils and conditions. 85 cts. per 

 doz. ; S6.00 per 100 ; $50,00 per 1000. 



1-^ DR. BURRILL (Early, Perfect) 



This new variety' is very highly praised by the experts be- 

 cause of its wonderful vigor. Having a very strong root 

 system, it is not easily affected by drouth, its foliage is extra 

 heavy and substantial, making it almost immune from leaf 

 diseases. 



The fruit is a deep glossy red, while the flesh is solid and 

 rich. We have great faith in this variety and recommend 

 it for extensive trial. 85 cts. per doz. ; $6.00 per 100 ; $50.00 

 per 1000. 



: GANDY'S PRIZE (Late, Perfect) 

 The standard late variet}', which has held its own for 

 many years, and by which everj' new late berry is judged. 

 It is a strong healthy grower, but needs a rich soil for its 

 perfect development. The berries are borne on long, 

 strong stalks, well above the ground, a variety that is hard 

 to beat. 85 cts. per doz. ; $6.00 per 100 ; $50.00 per 1000. 



t/ GLEN MARY 



(Mid-season to Late, imperfectly Bi-sexual) 

 Described by a large grower as follows : "I have known it 

 since its first bearing, and firmly believe it deserves the title 

 of 'the beiTj' 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. 85 cts. per doz. ; $6.00 per 

 100; $50.00 per 1000. 



LUPTON (Late, Perfect) 

 This new berry has no equal for solidity, and because 

 of its extraordinary substance is an ideal berry for pre- 

 serving. Add to this the fact that it is very prolific, pro- 

 ducing lavish quantities of large brilliant red, smooth-sur- 

 faced, glossy berries of high flavor, it will be found ex- 

 tremely desirable and valuable. 85 cts. per doz. ; $6.00 per 

 100 ; $50.00 per 1000. 



^^ NICK OHMER 



(Mid-season to Late, Perfect) 



Mammoth size, beautiful color, and great productiveness. 

 The plant is exceedingly vigorous, with clean, healthy foli- 

 age, without the slightest tendency to rust. A perfect giant 

 among strawberries — roundish-conical in form, uniform and 

 regular ; rich, glossy crimson, firm and solid, excellent in 

 quality, and average large to the very last picking. 85 cts. 

 per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per lo'oO. 



-' ' OREAM (Very late, Perfect) 



Recommended for the immense size of its berries, which 

 are very freely produced. 



In comparing it with that grand late variety. Candy's 

 Prize, it is claimed to ripen at the same time and to con- 

 tinue in fruit long after the Candy's are past, thus length- 

 ening the Spring Strawberry season a week or ten days. 

 85 cts. per doz. ; $6.00 per 100 ; $50.00 per 1000. 



^—'PREMIER (Very Early, Perfect) 



The introducer says : "Last year Premier began ripening 

 berries fully a week earlier than any other variety, and 

 continued to bear heavily for over four weeks, the last 

 picking being as good as the first." 



A prominent grower, referring to the above, says that 

 he has fruited this variety only one season, but jtjdging 

 from that he agrees with the introducer that it is one of 

 the most wonderful very early varieties he has ever seen. 

 85 cts. per doz. ; $6.00 per 100 ; $50.00 per 1000. 



^ REWASTICO 



(Mid-season to Late, Perfect) 



A recent introduction which has the enthusiastic endorse- 

 ment of one of the most extensive and successful straw- 

 berry growers in the country, and who speaks of it as the 

 only competitor that the Chesapeake Strawberrj' has ever 

 had. in many respects excelling that very popular late berry. 

 It is a highly colored cardinal red, the color penetrating the 

 uniformly large berries through and through. These ber- 

 ries in shape are so uniform that they appear as if turned 

 out in a mold. Its quality is high, of a rich aromatic 

 flavor. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower and very 

 productive. 85 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 

 1000.
