 supplied after May 1st; the earlier in the season they are planted 

 the better the results. Our Mid-Summer Catalogue, issued in 

 June, offers pot-grown plants for summer planting. 



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 continuous crop of 

 this luscious fruit may be secured throughout the growing sea- 

 son. 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, surpass- 

 ing in this respect some of the June fruiting varieties 

 Price. Either of the above, pot-grown plants that will fruit 

 this season. 75 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 



DREER'S COLLECTION OF 



SIX LUSCIOUS STRAWBERRIES 



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 be- 

 ginning to the end of the season. It is for such that we 

 offer this collection of six perfect flowering varieties; all 

 sorts which combine in the highest degree all the quali- 

 ties looked for in high grade berries. 

 Brandywine (Mid-season). Extra large fruit of a 

 rich red color and delicious flavor; a high grade berry 

 in which we have been unable to discover any defect. 

 Chesapeake ( Lute). This variety has made a great 

 record for itself over the whole country. It does not set 

 an immense quantity of fruit, but every blossom makes 

 a well developed and strictly fancy berry of good color. 

 Gandy's Prize {Late). This is the standard late va- 

 riety which has held its own for many years, and by 

 which every new late sort is judged. No better berry 

 could be wished for. 

 Marshall (Early). So well known as one of the fin- 

 est and earliest berries grown, that it is almost useless 

 to describe it. There is no other to compare with it in 

 its season. 

 Wildwood (Extra Early). A berry that will delight 

 every amateur, with fruit of large size, and has the 

 aroma and flavor of the wild Strawberry. We cannot 

 recommend this berry too highly for home use. 

 William Belt Uffid- season). For vigorous growth, great 



productiveness, size, beauty and fine quality one of the best 

 Price. Any of the above varieties in strong layer plants, 25 

 cts. per doz.; $1.50 per 100; $10.00 per 1000. 

 Or, we will supply collections as follows: 



6 plants each of the 6 varieties, 36 in all, for $ 75
