WILLIAM BELT. 



(Mid-Season, Perfect.) 



For vigorous growth, great productiveness, size, beauty 

 and fine quality 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 cocks- 

 comlied; all others are of regular forui. It is of bright, 

 glossy red, the ideal color for a strawberry. 50 cts.

Dreer's "Home Garden" Collection of Strawberries. 



All Pot=Grown Plants which will Produce a FULL CROP of Berries next Summer. 



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, made up of Marshall and Wildwood for early, Brandy wine for mid-season, Chesa=- 

 peake and Gandy's Prize for late, and Superb for an Autumn bearing variety, all of them 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.

Autumn-Fruiting STRAWBHRRias. 



AUTUIttN FRUITING 



STRAVk^BERRIES. 



Fall Bearing Strawberries of European origin have frequently 

 been offered, and while we have seen good crops of fruit in 

 specially favored localities during the late Summer and Fall 

 months, none have been of value for general planting in our try- 

 ing climate. The two varieties offered below are of American 

 origin and have been grown in nearly all parts of the country 

 with gratifying results; under ordinary conditions thty produce 

 their main crop of fruit at the same time as other varieties and 

 keep on bearing until frost. The proper plan is to cut off all 

 buds as they appear until late in July, and thus conserve the 

 Strength of the plants for the fall crop. Treated in this 

 way an abundant crop of berries may be looked for during 

 September and October. Good cultivation is essential to bring 

 about the best results, a liberal mulching during the summer 

 is beneficial and the plants should not be allowed to suffer for 

 lack of water at any time. 



Superb. The berries are very large, regular in shape, glossy 

 and attractive; quality extra fine. 75 cts. per doz.; $4.00 

 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 



Progressive. This is the latest addition to the Fall-bearing 

 type and the originator considers it the best of his introduc- 

 tions. Berries of good size, beautiful, lucious and prolific. 

 75 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000.
