_ DREER’S COLLECTION OF 
Six Luscious Strawberries 
A selection of perfect flowering varieties, they are all 
well-tried standard sorts which combine in the highest de- 
gree all the qualities looked for in high-grade berries, and 
no amateur will go wrong in limiting his plantings to the 
sorts here offered. 
: - BRANDYWINE 
This is considered one of the finest mid-season to late- 
fruiting sorts. We do not know that it has a single defect. 
The fruit is extra large, heart-shaped, color bright, rich 
red, and the flavor leaves nothing to be desired. 
— CHESAPEAKE 
A most reliable late berry, which is giving perfect satis- 
faction in all parts of the country, every berry being well 
developed and strictly fancy, of good color, and of highest 
quality. 
GANDW’S PRIZE 
The standard late variety, which has held its own for 
many years. It is a strong healthy grower. The berries 
are borne on long, strong stalks, well above the ground. 
MARSHALL 
This is one of the finest early berries grown. The plant is 
a vigorous grower and a good bearer. The berry is very large, 
of regular form, dark; glossy red, and of fine quality. 
-- WILDWOOD 
One of the earliest to ripen. 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 straw- 
berry.

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 re- 
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. 
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.
