Pot=Qrown and Layer Strawberry Ptants. 



While we do not offer a long list of varieties, our stock in- 

 cludes the very best so far as careful selection and test can 

 secure the highest quality. Scores of new strawberries come 

 upon the market every year, of which but few have permanent 

 merit. Each season we add to our list all the better sorts which 

 come forward with well-endorsed claims to public favor, and 

 drop those which have failed to fulfil the claims made by their 

 friends. 



All of the varieties offered below are fully described in our 

 " Mid-summer Catalogue," a copy of which will be mailed free 

 on application. 

 Pot-Grown plants set out this autumn will produce a crop 



of fruit next June.

Late in the fall is a good time to plant hardy Grapes, Blackberries, Raspberries, 

 and Currants; the plants being at that time dormant are less liable to injury in trans- 

 planting than when planted in spring. After planting, cover the roots with 2 or 3 

 inches of litter or manure.

 clining to sand, but will grow and fruit almost everywhere.
