POT -GROWN ^tnxiwle^ PlcuiU 



Pot-grown Strawberry plants are in every way superior to the ordinary 

 field-grown layer plants for the home garden. Our plants are vigorous 

 young specimens grown in pots, and shipped with earth about the well- 

 developed roots. Such plants will take hold at once, make a thrifty growth, 

 and, in the case of everbearing varieties, bear a crop the first season. 



All varieties offered have "perfect flowers." 



For hill culture In the family garden, plant in rows 2 feet apart and 



the plants a foot apart in the rows, cutting off all runners as they appear. 



If to be allowed to grow in matted rows, set the plants in rows 3 feet 



apart and the plants 1 foot apart in the rows. 



All varieties, unless otherwise noted, pot-grown plants: Sl.OO per doz., 



S6.50 per 100. For shipment direct from Southampton, Long Island. 



Ambrosia. Late. Vigorous plants which produce big crops 

 of large, firm, bright red berries with delicious flavor.

 berries for a long period. Pot-grown plants, $1.25 per

Dorsett. Very early. By sheer ability it has superseded all 

 Strawberries of its period. Each plant produces an amaz- 

 ing crop of large, firm, shapely fruit, frequently until the 

 last June berry is gone. The flavor is delicious. 



Fairfax. Early to midseason. Over a long fruiting season 

 and on nearly all soils, Fairfax bears many big, plump, 

 solid berries which ripen evenly to a deep red, and hold 

 their firmness and flavor splendidly. This flavor is prob- 

 ably the most refined in richness and sweet- 

 ness of any strawberry yet introduced. 



Gibson. Midseason. Deep glossy red, extra 

 large berries, in great abundance. Very re- 

 sistant to drought.

 a sprightly flavor.

 fruit in great quantity.
