GENERAL LIST OF SELECT 



Pot-Grown STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



We have perfect facilities for packing and sliipping pot-grown strawberry plants in summer 

 and autumn. Remember that pot=grown plants, if set firmly in the ground, will safely endure 

 anything except excessive or prolonged drought, and we advise immediate preparation and early 

 planting (August) of next year's fruiting bed. Later planting is safe, but the stronger the growth 

 this Autumn the larger will be the berry crop of 1910. 



A.1ltO> Mid-Season, Perfect. 



A variety that promises to become a fixture where strictly 

 highest quality is wanted. It stands at the head of strawberries 

 for large size of fruit, as well as for sweetness — -which makes 

 it one of the very best dessert varieties — healthfulness, vigor 

 and productiveness. Those who have grown it claim that it 

 stands drought better than most sorts. 60 cts. per doz. ; ^4.00 

 per 100 ; ^30.00 per 1000. 



Blll)a,Oll< Mid-Season, Pistillate. 



One of the best known berries in the Philadelphia markets, 

 many of the most extensive market growers in this vicinity con- 

 sidering it the most profitable market berry, and no mistake will 

 be made in planting it extensively for home use ; it is prolific, of 

 good quality and good appearance ; an old favorite. 50 cts. 

 per doz.; $3.50 per 100 ; ^30.00 per looo. 



Brandywine. i-ate, perfect. 



All growers are unanimous in their praise of this magnificent 

 berry, and it is considered the finest of all late fruiting sorts ; 

 we do not know that it has a single defect. Plants of extra 

 strong constitution and growth, doing well everywhere. The 

 fruit is extra large, heart-shaped, color bright, rich red, and the 

 flavor leaves nothing to be desired. A grand variety for pre- 

 serving, retaining its native flavor in a wonderful degree when 

 canned. It always produces satisfactory crops, and whether 

 grown for market or home consumption will always be found in 

 the front rank of high-grade berries. 50 cts. per doz. ; ^3.50 

 per 100 ; $30.00 per lOOO. 



STR AWBER R I ES — AUTO 



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.oo per 100 ; $30.00 per loco. 



Clyde. Early to Mid-Season, Perfect. 



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

 green 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. 



CommonXVealtll. 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.
