DREER'S POT-GROWN 



STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



CHOICE STANDARD AND NEW VARIETIES 



For nearly forty years we have been producing pot=grown Strawberry Plants, and the steadily 

 increasing demand for this class of stock shows the planter's appreciation of same. Remember pot- 

 grown plants, properly planted and cultivated, will positively give you a full crop of berries next 

 summer ; early planting (August) will give you the largest crop, later planting will prove satisfactory, 

 but the earlier the plants are set out, the stronger will be the growth and the larger the resulting 

 crop of berries in 1918. 



Brandywine 



BIO JOE. 



iMid-season, Perfect.) 



This new variety has been offered by us the past two seasons 

 because it came to us so highly recommended by reliable grow- 

 ers, and our own experience with it justifies us in endorsing all 

 that has been said in its favor. The plant is unusually vigor- 

 ous, with a mass of large, healthy foliage; the fruit is large, of 

 great substance, exquisite flavor and produced freely on strong 

 stems held well above the ground. We do not know any 

 variety that promises to give more general satisfaction. 75 cts. 

 per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 



BRANDYIVINE. 



( Mid-seeison to Late, Perfect.) 



All growers are unanimous in their praise of this magnificent 

 berry, and it is considered one of the finest mid-seuson to 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 preserving, retaining its flavor in a wonderful degree 

 when canned. It always produces satisfactory crops, and 

 whether grown for market or home consumption, will always be 

 foundin the front rank of high-grade berries. 75 cts. per doz.; 

 $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 



CHESAPEAKE. 



(Late, Perfect.) 

 A most reliable berry, which is giving perfect satisfaction in 

 all parts of the country, both in the home garden as well as 

 with market growers, many of the latter using it for their 

 main crop. It is not a variety that sets an immense quantity of 

 fruit, but every blossom makes a berry, every berry being well 

 developed and strictly fancy, of good color without any green 

 tips and of highest quality. A berry that we can recommend 

 for all soils and conditions. 75 cts. per doz.; $5. CO per lOO; 

 $40.00 per 1000. 



DR. BURRIEE. 



(Early, Perfect.) 



This new variety is very highly praised by the experts because 

 of its wonderful vigor. Having a very strong root system, it is 

 not easily affected by drouth, its foliage is extra heavy and sub- 

 stantial, making it almost immune from leaf diseases. 



The fruit is a deep glossy red, while the flesh is solid and 

 rich. We have great faith in this variety and recommend it for 

 extensive trial. $1.00 per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 

 1000. 



EAREY JERSEY GIANT. 



(Early, Perfect.) 

 This is one of Dr. Van Fleet's hybrids, the result of crossing 

 some of the finest European varieties with the best American 

 sorts, resulting in a variety which ripens with the earliest. 

 Berries very large, brilliant, scarlet crimson, conical, with 

 pointed tip, colors all over at once, has a delightful aroma and 

 mild wild strawberry flavor. The plant is a strong grower and 

 heavy yielder. 75 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 

 1000.
