HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



WILDWOOD (Extra Early, Perfect) 



Wildwood has been a surprise to us and is a berry 

 that will delight every amateur. In our trial grounds 

 it is the earliest to ripen by several days. With ber- 

 ries 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 

 cannot recommend this berry too highly for home 

 use. 60 cts. per doz. ; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 



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 cockscoraed; all others are of 

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

 color for a strawberry. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 

 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



If you are in doubt as to which strawberries you 

 should plant, you will make no mistake in getting 

 one of the following Collections. 



Dreer's Collections 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 diflBculty 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 Wildwood for early, Brandy wine 

 and First Quality for mid-season, Chesapeake 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.

THE TWO BEST 



AUTUMN FRUITING STRAWBERRIES 



Fall Bearing Strawberries of European origin have fre- 

 quently been offered, and while we have seen good crops of 

 fruit in specially favored localities during the late Summer 

 and Fall months, none have been of value for general plant- 

 ing in our trying climate. The two varieties offered below 

 are of American origin and have been grown in nearly all 

 parts of the country with gratifying results; under ordinary 

 conditions they 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. Good cultiva- 

 tion 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. 



Superb. The berries are very large , regular in shape, glossy 

 and attractive; quality extra fine. 75 cts. per doz.; $4.00 

 per 100. 



Progressive. This is the latest addition to the Fall-bearing 

 type and the originator considers it the best of his intro- 

 ductions. Berries of good size, beautiful, luscious and 



prolific. 75 cts. per doz. ; $4.00 per 100. NEW AUTUMN FEUITING STKAWBKRRIES
