SIX SPLENDID New Strawberries 



ALL IN STROXG POT-GROWN PLANTS WHICH WILL YIELD A FULL CROP NEXT JUNE 



NEW STRAWBERRY — HERITAGE 



St. LiOniS. Early, Perfect. 



An exceptionally strong growing extra earl)' variety, claimed 

 to be the largest extra early yet produced, it having been grown 

 so that twelve selected berries filled a quart basket. The fruit 

 is of a bright flame color, firm and of high quality, and borne 

 on long, stout stems. 75 cents per dozen ; J5.00 per 100. 



The Cardinal. Late, Pistillate. 



No strawberry ever sent out seems to have received the 

 endorsement of the leading experts so fully as The Cardinal. 

 They agree that it is as nearly faultlessas a strawberry is ever 

 likely to be. The plants are strong, healthy and free growers, 

 the fruit stalks tall and stout, making the picking an easy matter, 

 berries of large size, perfect in shape and coloring and of delicious 

 flavor and aroma ; it has been tried over a wide area and seems 

 to do well everywhere ; it was illustrated in colors in the Year 

 Book of the Agricultural Department, and a photo reproduction 

 shown in the Experiment Station Bulletin of its native State — 

 Ohio — unusual honors, which it seems to deserve. We have no 

 hesitation in recommending it for extensive planting. 75 cents 

 perdoz. ; ^5.00 per 100. 



The Fendall. 



Mid-season to Late, Pistillate. 



One of the largest if not the very largest berry yet introduced, 

 and unlike most very large fruiting varieties it has a delicious 

 flavor not usually found in big berries. It begins to ripen early 

 in the season and continues to bear a succession of delicious, 

 beautiful, high colored berries until late in the season, yielding 

 almost double the quantity of fruits produced by other standard 

 varieties. 



A most promising variety which we recommend for extensive 

 trial. ;^l. 00 per dozen ; ;f6.oo per 100.

 cinating work, and we recommend a trial of the collections here

Abington. Mld-Season, Perfect. 



This new variety which originated in Massachusetts, and 

 which has repeatedly won honors at the exhibitions of the Mas- 

 sachusetts Horticultural Society, is acknowledged as a decided 

 improvement upon that popular variety Bubach, which it 

 promises to supercede. It ripens its bright red berries, which 

 are of large size and excellent flavor, at the same time with the 

 Bubach, continuing until late The berries are produced on stout, 

 erect stems held well above the ground. 75 cts. per dozen ; 

 §5.00 per 100. 



Goldsborongh. Early, imperfectly Bi-sexual. 



Originated by A. T. Goldsborough, Washington, D. C, 

 who began some ten or more years ago a series of systematic 

 efforts to produce from seed a variety which should be ideal in 

 both plant and fruit. After seven years of endeavor he was 

 rewarded by the berry which bears his name. The shape of the 

 fruit is perfect, also the color, being a waxy, light scarlet, with 

 a deeper shade when fully ripe. Its red pulp leaves a red 

 juice in a saucer like its wild parent in the fields. It is rich, 

 juicy, sweet and fragrant, requires no sugar, and is the only 

 early berry known which can be freely eaten out of the hand. 

 Some of the flowers are perfect, others imperfect. Its dark 

 foliage is so fresh and green, its hidden fruit so red, glossy 

 and sweet, that it is a pleasure to work among the plants. 

 It ripens a little later than the first earlies. 75 cts. per dozen ; 

 ^5.00 per 100. 



Heritage. Mid-season to Late, Perfect. 



A variety which has attracted much attention during the past 

 two seasons. It originated in New Jersey, and its disseminator, 

 who is a commercial grower of berries, says : "For nearly forty 

 years I have grown strawberries, and having tested hundreds of 

 standard varieties and as many seedlings, feel qualified to assert 

 that with me it is the most productive and most valuable variety 

 I have ever seen." The plant is a vigorous rampant grower 

 and prodigious yielder. Berries uniformly large, dark shining 

 crimson, conical, uniform in size and shape and of superior 

 quality and solid texture. J 1. 00 per dozen ; $6.00 per 100.
