DREBR'S MID-SUMMER CATALOGUE 



GENERAL LIST OF SELECT 



Pot-Grown Strawberry Plants 



We have perfect facilities for packing and shipping pot=grown strawberry plants in summer 

 and autumn. Remember that pot=grown plants, if set firmly in the ground, will safely endure 

 anything except excessive or prolonged drought, and we advise immediate preparation and early 

 planting (August) of next year's fruiting bed. Later planting is safe, but the stronger the growth 

 this Autumn the larger will be the berry crop of 1908. 



Dreer^s Collection of Six Superb Strawberries 



All Pot-Qrown Plants which will Produce a FULL CROP of Berries next June. 



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, which, in our judgment, based on actual tests made on our experimental grounds, 

 combine in the highest degree all the qualities which high-grade strawberries should have.

Bl*8>IlcLy'VD'ill6a liate, Perfect. 



All growers are unanimous in their praise of this magnificent 

 berry, and it is considered t/ie finest of all 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 pre- 

 serving, retainins; its native flavor in a wonderful degree when 

 canned. It always produces satisfactory crops, and whether 

 grown for market or home consumption will always be found in 

 the front rank of high-grade berries. 60 cts. per doz. ; ^4.00 

 per 100 ; ;jS30.oo per 1000.
