HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



47 



NICK OHMER 



'(Mid-season to Late, Perfect) 



Of mammoth size, beautiful color, and great productiveness. 

 The plant is exceedingly vigorous, with clean, healthy foliage, 

 without the slightest tendency to rust. A perfect giant among 

 strawberries — roundish-conical in form, uniform and regular; rich, 

 glossy crimson, firm and solid, excellent in quality, and average 

 large to the very last picking. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; 

 $60.00 per 1000. 



PREMIER 



(Very Early, Perfect) 



One of our most successful berry growers describes Premier as 

 follows: "The money-making king of all extra-early varieties. I 

 have never found anything to equal it. The beriies are large, 

 beautifully formed and bright red all the way through. It is 

 delicious in flavor. I have fruited it five years and like it better 

 every year, and if it has any weak points have not found them." 

 $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000. 



SENATOR DUNLAP 



(Mid-season, Perfect) 



A good variety for the amateur, being adapted to any type of 

 soil and does well in all sections. The fruit is bright red with a 

 glossy finish shading to a deep scarlet on the underside. The flesh 

 is bright red all through, and exceedingly juicy. Plants produce a 

 heavy crop of fruit, and berries hold up well in size clear to the 

 end of the season. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000. 



SUCCESS 



(Early, Perfect) 



An improved form of the old famous Charles Downing, and as 

 its name indicates, has been a success under most varied conditions, 

 we consider it one of the most reliable early varieties for the home 

 garden, as it can always be depended upon for a good crop of large 

 berries of uniform shape of a bright flame color. $1.00 per doz.; 

 $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000. 



Dreer's "Home Garden" Collection of Strawberries 



All Pot-Grown Plants which will Produce a FULL CROP of Berries next Summer 



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 Campbell's Early and Premier for early, Brandywine for mid-season, Chesapeake 

 and Gandy'S Prize for late, and Progressive for an autumn bearing variety, 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 straw- 

 berries should have: 



6 each of the "Home Garden" Berries, 36 in all, for $3.00 



12 each of the "Home Garden" Berries, 72 in all, for 5.00 



25 each of the "Home Garden" Berries, 150 in all, for $9.50 



50 each of the "Home. Garden" Berries, 300 in all, for 18.00 



Autumn- Fruiting or Everbearing Strawberries 



After careful trials we have selected the two varieties offered below as the most desirable. 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 oS 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 parts of the plants is discontinued late in June an almost 

 continuous crop of this luscious fruit may be secured throughout the growing season. Good cultivation 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. 



CHAMPION EVERBEARING 



A most promising hardy variety from Michigan, of strong, 

 vigorous habit and producing a very heavy yield of fine dark red, 

 delicious berries from July until frost. $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 

 100. 



PROGRESSIVE 



The most prolific fruiting; berries of fair size and produced in 

 great abundance; they are of attractive deep, glossy crimson color 

 and of good flavor. $1.25 per doz.; $8.00 per 100.
