DREER'S MID SUMMER LIST. 



MARSHAL/t.— One of the newer sorts, with a good 

 record. Tlie originator obtained 3000 boxes of berries 

 from one-third of an acre. Berries large. Color dark 

 crimson throughout. Flavor good. Plants vigorous. 

 Blossoms perfect. Now widely on trial, with favorable 

 reports coming in. 50 cents per dozen ; $4.00 per 100. 



KIO. — A recent introduction that is very highly recom- 

 mended. It is of a rich, glossy color, medium size and 

 very prolific. Recommended by the practical experience 

 of Mr. Edward T. Ingram, West Chester, Pa. 50 cents 

 per doz. ; $4.00 per 100 ; $30.00 per lOUO. 



SAUNDERS. — Berries of largest size. One of the most 

 productive of our Philadelphia market berries this year. 

 Deep red, and of good quality. "Nothing so successful 

 as Saunders," says Mr. B. F. Osier, of Peusauken, N. J. 

 ' ' Saunders decidedly ahead, " says the foreman in charge of 

 Mr. Wilmer Atkinson's patch at Three Tuns, Pa. A berry 

 of great commercial value. 50 cents per dozen ; $4.00 

 per 100 ; $30.00 per 1000. 



SHARPLESS.— This berry is no longer the best that 

 can be obtained, but it has so many friends that it remains 

 a favorite, especially in private gardens. It is doubtful 

 whether anything of better flavor is on the market, but 

 it will not produce as many quarts as some others. Charles 

 Boileau, of Fox Chase, still adheres to it as a market 

 berry, but he is an exception. It succeeds everywhere, 

 but particularly in private gardens, under "hill" culture. 

 50 cents per dozen ; $3.00 per 100 ; $25.00 per 1000.

 Mr. JAAIES Q. ATKINSON, Three Tuns, Pa. 



HAVERLAISTD (P) — A vigorous plant of the Crescent 

 type. Must be fertilized with some perfect flowering 

 sort, as May King or Sharpless. Frait stalks long. Enor- 

 mously productive. "First choice decidedly," says 

 William G. Embree, a West Chester, Pa., grower. Ber- 

 ries medium to large, of pale scarlet color, not of best 

 flavor, but so extremely prolific and showy that the 

 Haverland is a wide favorite for home use or market. Its 

 merits as a cropper make it one of the most profitable sorts. 

 50 cents per dozen ; $3.00 per 100 ; $25.00 per 1000. 



GREENVILLE (P).— The picture of this fine berry is 

 from a photograph of a box from the patch of Mr. Albert 

 Atkinson, of Three Tuns, Montgomery countj'. Pa. The 

 plants are thrifty, and this year's crop was very satisfac- 

 tory. Greenville bore the honors for productiveness at 

 the Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment Station in 

 1895. Fertilize with May King, Sharpless or other rather 

 early perfect-flowering variety. 50 cents per dozen ; $3.00 

 per 100 ; $25. 00 per 1000. 



TENNESSEE. — A new berry of great promise. A 

 seedling of Crescent and Sharpless. Perfect flowers and 

 vigorous plants. Very productive. Size medium to 

 large. Bright scarlet berries of fine quality. Season 

 early to medium, like its parents. Suited to both family 

 and market. Thrives on light soil. 75 cents per dozen ; 

 $6.00 per 100. 



TtMBRELL (P).— In the section of country tributary 

 to the Philadelphia market the Timbrell is not a favorite 

 for commercial purposes, but we commend it to private 

 gardeners who can give the plant high culture and extra 

 good treatment. It has in many places made a fine 

 record for size and productiveness, but its greatest feature 

 is the flavor of its fruit, which ranks with the best. Fer- 

 tilize with Sharpless. 50 cents per dozen ; $4.00 per 100. 



VAN DEMAN. — An extra early, perfect flowering 

 variety, a seedling of Crescent crossed with Captain Jack, 

 the earliest in our collection. It is a strong grower, with 

 dark, glossy fruit and yellow seed, firm and tart, and cer- 

 tain to be popular. 50 cents per dozen ; $4.00 per 100 ; 

 $30.00 per 1000. 



WOOLVERTON.— A promising berry of Canadian 



origin. It is a strong grower, with perfect flower, and 



crops over a long season. Matures part of its crop before 



^it is done blossoming. A large strawberry of attractive 



^^j^appearance and good quality. Mr. Satterthwaite (June 



j [8) said of it : " Early and very satisfactory ; have been 



picking for two weeks ; enormous crop." 75 cents per 



dozen ; $6.00 per 100.
