WARREN (Mid-season, Perfect) 

 This new berry originated with Mr. S. H. Warren, 

 the veteran New England grower of fancy berries. 



One of our most extensive growers of strawberries 

 tells us : "During the summer of 1912 it was my good 

 fortune to see the Warren in fruit on Mr. Warren's 

 grounds, and the splendid crop of large, luscious, highly 

 colored uniform shaped berries was an inspiration to 

 anyone interested in berry growing." 



We recommeid this new fancy berry for extensive 

 trial, and we feel convinced that you will be pleased 

 with the results. 85 cts. per doz. ; $6.00 per 100 ; $50.00 

 per 1000. 



'^ WILD WOOD (Extra Early, Perfect) 

 Wildwood is a berry that will delight every amateur. 

 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 can- 

 not recommend this berry too highly for home use. 85 

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



^. WILLIAM BELT (Late, 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. 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 

 of bright glossy red, the ideal color for a strawberry. 

 85 cts. per doz. ; $6.00 per 100 ; $50.00 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 begin- 

 ning to the end of the season. It is for such that we offer this collection, made up of Campbell's Early and Dr. 



Burrill 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.

New and Standard Varieties of Autumn -Fruiting or Everbearing Strawberries 



Fall bearing Strawberries of European origin have little value for planting in our trying climate. The varieties 

 offered below are of American origin, and under ordinary conditions produce their main crop of fruit at the same time 

 as other varieties 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 continuous 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. 



^;^^--'Advance. This new variety is of quick, free growth, pro- 

 ducing a great abundance of fruit throughout the sum- 

 mer and fall, especially if judiciouslj' disbudded as ad- 

 vised above. Our own observation leads us to describe it 

 as having the general habits of "Progressive" with the 

 same excellent flavor, but producing berries as large and 

 handsome in appearance as "Superb." $1.25 per doz. ; ' 

 ■^ $8.00 per 100. ^ 



Forward. Very similar to "Advance," except that it pro- 

 duces fewer runners, concentrating more of the vigor in^ 

 the parent plant. It will probably prove more desirable 

 for disbudding for late fall fruiting. $1.25 per doz. ; $8.00 

 per 100. 



Peerless. A real jaW-hearer — does not require disbudding 

 and produces fruit until killing frost in November. 



The fruit and blossoms being protected by very heavy 

 foliage from all but severe frost. 



The berry is large to very large, according to the 

 quality of the soil, and of a wonderfully attractive, glossy 

 appearance. $1.25 per doz. ; $8.00 per 100. 

 ■Progressive. The most prolific fruiting, berries of fair 

 size and produced in great abundance ; they are of an 

 attractive deep, glossy crimson color and of good flavor. 

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



Superb. Very free fruiting and for size of berries, hand- 

 some appearance and quality it is at the head of this type, 

 surpassing in this respect some of the June fruiting 

 varieties. 85 cts. per doz. ; $6.00 per 100.
