DREER'S MID-SUMMER CATALOGUE. 



SaUnderS. Mid-Season to Late, Perfect. 

 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 Saun- 

 ders," says Mr. B. F. Osier, of Pensauken, New Jersey. 

 " 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 ; 

 13.00 per 100 ; §25.00 per 1000. 



SharpleSS. Mid-Season, Perfect. 

 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 particu- 

 larly in private gardens, under " hill " culture. 50 cents 

 per dozen ; §3.00 per 100 ; 825.00 per 1000. 



TenneSSeC Early to Mid-Season, Perfect. 



A new berry of great promise. A seedling of Cres- 

 cent 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. 50 cts. per dozen ; §3.00 per 100 ; §25.00 per 1000. 



Timbrell. 



Late, Pistillate. 



In the section of country tributary to the Philadel- 

 phia 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. Fertilize with Sharp- 

 less. 50 cents per dozen ; §3.00 per 100 ; §25.00 per 1000. 



Waff ield . Mid-Season to Late, Pistillate. 



A very fine berry in every way. Plant strong, free 

 grower, and should not be planted too closely, wonder- 

 fully prolific bearer, one of the Agricultural Experiment 

 Stations placing it at the head of 150 varieties for yield. 

 Berries medium size, very firm, color rich glossy red and 

 of fine flavor. Considered by rnanj' growers the most 

 profitable market berry. 50 cts. per dozen ; §3.00 per 100 ; 

 §25.00 per 1000. 



Woolverton. 



Early to Mid-Season, Perfect. 



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 appearance and good 

 quality. Mr. Satterthwaite (June 8) said of it: " Early 

 and very satisfactory ; have been picking it for two 

 weeks; enormous crop." 60 cents per dozen ; §4.00 per 

 100; §30.00 per 1000.
