DREER'S MID-SUMMER CATALOGUE. 



New York. Mid-Seasou, Perfect. 



Another extra large fruited variety that is very promising. 

 An extensive grower of strawberries says of the New York : 



"As fruited here the berries are large to very large ; season of 

 ripening, medium ; color, dark scarlet, changing to crimson 

 when fully ripe ; colors all over at once ; no green sides or tips ; 

 quality good. In growth of plant it is very large and stalky, 

 equaling in this respect the very largest ever grown, and for 

 health and vigor I have yet to see one that would surpass it." 

 60 cts. per doz. ; ^4.00 per 100 ; $30.00 per looo. 



Nich. OllXner. Mid-Seasou, Perfect. 



A great surprise is in store for all who fruit this strawberry 

 for the first time ; its mammoth size, beautiful color and 

 great productiveness being really astonishing. The plant is 

 exceedingly vigorous, with clean, healthy foliage, withou, 

 the slightest tendency to rust. The berries are of larges. 

 size — 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. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



HoUgll Rider. Very Late, Perfect. 



This variety originated in Oswego County, New York, where 

 a specialty is made of growing very late berries. One of the 

 most progressive growers in this district says of the Rough 

 Rider: "It has perfect blossoms, is an extremely vigorous 

 grower, enormously productive, the latest and firmest berry and 

 the best shipper." We recommend it for trial to all who desire 

 a very late berry. ' 



60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100 ; $30,00 per lOOO. 



Sample. Mld-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. ; 

 $3.00 per 100 ; $25.00 per 1000. 



SharpleSS. 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.; $3.00 per ico ; $25.00 per 

 1000. 



William Belt. Mid-Season, Perfect. 



We give the introducer's description of tliis fine strawberry: 

 ' William Belt is now generally conceded to be one of the great 

 berries. For vigorous growth, great productiveness, size, 

 beauty and fine quality it is 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 cockscombed ; all 

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

 color for a strawberry." 50 cts. pe,r doz.; $3.00 per 100 ; 

 $25.00 per loco.
