Pot=Qrown and Layer Strawberry Plants. 



Special price on large lots of layer 



While we do not offer a long list of varieties, our stock in- 

 cludes the very best so far as careful selection and test can 

 secure the highest quality. Scores of new strawberries come 

 upon the market every year, of which but few have permanent 

 merit. Each season we add to our list nil the better sorts 

 which come forward with well-endorsed claims to public favor, 

 and drop those which have failed to fulfill the claims made by 

 their friends. 



All of the varieties offered below are fully described in our 

 " Mid-summer Catalogue," a copy of which will be mailed free 

 on application. 

 POT-GKOWN plants set out this autumn will produce a 



crop of fruit next June.

For Fall Planting. Ready about Oct. 20th. 



Late in the fall is a good time to plant hardy Grapes, Blackberries, Raspberries, and 

 Currants; the plants being at that time dormant are less liable to injury in transplant- 

 ing than when planted in spring. After planting, cover the roots with 2 or 3 inches 

 of litter or manure. 



BI^ACKBBRRIHS. 



Blackberries respond generously to good treatment. They prefer a deep soil inclin- 

 ing to sand, but will grow and fruit almost everywhere.
