DBEEE'S MID-SUMMER CATALO&UE 



President. !-»»«. Pistiuate. 



A variety of New Jersey origin, introduced five years ago, and 

 which has given perfect satisfaction. The President leads all 

 other varieties in the development of fruits, every plant pro- 

 ducing large clusters, and better still seems inclined to perfect 

 and bring to large size every berry. The color is bright and 

 clear, the flesh firm and the seeds few and widely separated. 

 It comes in with such late varieties as Gandy. 60 cents per 

 doz.; ;?4.oo per 100 ; ^30.00 per looo. 



Sample. Mld-Season to Late, Pistillate. 



This is one of the few berries that has fulfilled every promise 

 made on its introduction and is now a standard variety in many 

 parts of the country. It seems to do well under all conditions, 

 a strong free grower and producing seemingly impossible large 

 crops of perfectly formed bright red delicious fruit. You can 

 plant this in quantity without misgiving — it should be planted in 

 close proximity to a perfect flowering sort. 50 cts. per doz. ; 

 $3.50 per 100 ; ^30.00 per 1000. 



SliarpleSS. Mid-Season, Perfect. 



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

 still has many friends who will have no other. This is strongly 

 illustrated in summarizing our sale of strawberries. We find 

 that up to within a few years back that Sharpless was the variety 

 we sold the greater quantity of, and even now it holds a good 

 second place. It is doubtful if there is anything of better flavor 

 on the market. 50 cts. per doz.; ^3. 50 per 100; ^30.00 per looo. 



'William Belt. Mld-Season, Perfect. 



We give the introducer's description of this fine strawberry: 

 " William Belt is now generally conceded to be one of the great 

 berries. For vigorous growth, great productiveness, size, 

 beauty and fine quality it is one of the very best. It is grown 

 by the acre for fancy fruit, and is generally mentioned in con- 

 nection 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.; S3. 50 per 100; 

 S30.00 per 1000. 



Dreer^s Collection of High- Grade 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, all 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.
