HENRY k. DREER, Philadelphia, Pa. 



Chesapeake. Very Late, Perfect. 



A comparatively new variety introduced by one of the most 

 extensive growers of strawberries in Maryland, who offered a 

 prize of $100.00 for twelve plants of the best new seedling 

 variety submitted to him for trial and out of over one hundred 

 sorts entered for competition, Chesapeake was, by competent 

 judges selected as the one posessing the most meritorious points. 

 It is very late, of exceptional high flavor, very firm, berries 

 large, borne on strong upright stems and a robust, healthy 

 grower. 60 cts. per doz. ; ;SS4.oo per 100 ; $30.00 per 1000. 



Climax. Early, Perfect. 



A grand variety which has very quickly become popular with 

 the most critical growers in the East. The plant is a most vigor- 

 ous and healthy grower, enormously productive, of good sized, 

 finely flavored perfectly formed berries, ripening extremely early. 

 60 cts. per doz ; $4.00 per 100 ; $30 00 per 1000. 



Clyde. £arly to Mid-Season, Perfect. 



A strong-growing, perfect blooming, healthy plant, with light 

 gteen foliage. Everywhere tested, it proves to be exceedingly 

 productive of large, globular, perfectly formed, light scarlet 

 berries of fine quality. Always inclined to overbear. Some 

 plants have more fruit stalks than leaf stalks. A light applica- 

 tion of nitrate of soda in early spring, before fruiting, or a top- 

 dressing of stable manure in winter, will stimulate greater foliage 

 growth, and so help the fruiting of this remarkable variety. 

 There are but few strawberries that succeed as well over so wide 

 a range of country as Clyde. No family collection can be com- 

 plete without it. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100 ; $30.00 per 

 1000. 



CommonTirealtll. Late, Perfect. 



This superb berry originated in Massachusetts. It matures 

 a week later than Sample, bears equally well and rivals the 

 Marshall for quality. In the judgment of many prominent 

 growers this is the coming late berry, and as being the best and 

 most productive of all very late sorts. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 

 per 100; ^30.00 per 1000. 



£xcelsior. Extra Early, Perfect. 



An extra early that has been recommended from many differ- 

 ent sections not only on account of its extreme earliness, but also 

 on account of its productiveness, one large grower claiming that 

 it will produce four times as many berries as any extra early sort 

 known to him. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per too ; $30.00 per 

 1000. 



Fairfield. Extra Early, Perfect. 



A remarkable irxira early variety ripening several days ahead 

 of our other early sorts. It has been well tested for several 

 seasons and is now a standard extra early variety. 60 cts. per 

 doz.; $4.00 per 100 ; $30.00 per 100. 



Gandy^s Prize. Late, Perfect. 



A strong healthy plant, needing rich soil for its perfect devel- 

 opment. One of the best berries for late market. Fruit solid 

 and fit for shipment to distant markets. Berry of fine flavor. 

 The berries are borrie upon long, strong stalks well above the 

 ground. No better late berry can be wished for ; a variety that 

 will be hard to beat. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100 ; $30.00 

 per 1000. 



Glen Mary. 



Mid-Season to Late, Imperfectly Bi-sexual. 



Originated in Eastern Pennsylvania, and is described by a 

 large grower as follows : " I have known it since its first bearing, 

 and firmly believe it deserves the title of -the berry grower's 

 money maker.' " It makes a very strong plant, but few of 

 them. This reduces the cost of keeping the row m proper 

 shape for fruiting. Its roots are enormous, enabling it to ripen 

 its great crop of monster berries in the dryest season. It has 

 never been injured by the winter, even without mulch, and has 

 never failed to produce a large crop of fruit. The flower is 

 imperfectly bi-sexual, and has always been grown alone by the 

 originator. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100 ; $30.00 per looo. 



Marshall. Early, Perfect. 



This is one of the finest berries, all things considered, now 

 before the public. It is- so well and favorably known that it is 

 almost useless to describe it. The plant is large and stocky, a 

 vigorous grower and a good bearer. It is the earliest of all 

 the very large varieties, and it usually matures all its fruit. 

 The berry is wry large, of regular form, dark, glossy red, very 

 beautiful, and of fine quality. There is no other variety in 

 the market to compare with it in its season. It is i^e great 

 berry in New England, and no careful grower who takes pride 

 in his berries can afford to leave out the Marshall. 50 cts. per 

 doz.; $3.50 per 100 ; $30.00 per 1 000. 



Michel's £arly. Early. Perfect. 



A very strong growing, extra early variety, moderately pro- 

 ductive, with many friends. Quality good, attractive in color, 

 and worthy of a place in all gardens. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 

 per 100 ; $30.00 per 1000.
