HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



SliarpleSS* Mld-Season, Perfect. 



Though no longer the best berry that can be had, Sharpless 

 still has many friends who will have no other. 50 cts. perdoz. ; 

 $3. 50 per 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



'Wild^rOOd. Extra Early, Perfect. 



Wildwood has been a surprise to us and is a berry that will 

 ilelight every amateur. In our trial grounds the j ast season it 

 was the earliest to ripen by several days. With 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 

 strawberry. We cannot recommend this berry too highly for 

 home use. 75 cts. per doz. ; $5.00 per loo. 



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 cockscombed ; all 

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

 color for a strawberry. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100 ; 

 ^30.00 per 1000. 



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 

 difficulty 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 Clyde for early, Brandywine and Nick Ohmer 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.

'Ne^xr Autniun Fruiting Strawberries. 



P'all Bearing Strawberries of European origin have frequently 

 been offered, and while we have seen good crops of fruit in spe- 

 cially favored localities during the late Summer and Fall months, 

 none have been of value for general planting in our trying cli- 

 mate. The three varieties offered below are of American origin 

 and have been grown in many 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 culti- 

 vation 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. 

 Americus. Fruit light red, heart shaped, of fine texture and 



good quality; fruit stem stout, holding fruit well oft' the ground. 



$1.00 per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 

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



and attractive; quality extra fine. Jl. 00 per doz.; 56.00 per 



100. 



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

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

 tions. Berries of good size, beautiful, luscious and very 

 prolific. J52.00 per doz. ; $15.00 per 100.
