DREER'S POT-GROWN 



STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



Pot-grown Plants set out this Summer will Produce a FULL CROP OF FRUIT NEXT YEAR. 



Time of Shipment. Our pot-grown Strawberry Plants are usually ready for shipment the latter part of July or early August 

 and can be supplied as late as October. It is better, however, to secure the plants in August or September, as earlier plantings develop 

 larger and more vigorous plants and produce a greater crop of fruit next year. 



We forward by express, at the purchaser's expense. The plants are packed compactly, and as light as possible. We make no charge 

 for boxes or packing. If shipment by Parcel Post is desired, add 10 per cent, to price of plants to cover cost of special packing and 

 postage. 



The Berries You Grow in Your Own Garden are Always Better than Any You Can Buy. 



Big Joe (Mid-season). This variety is highly recommended by 

 reliable growers, and our own experience with it justifies us in 

 endorsing all that has been said in its favor. The plant is 

 unusually vigorous, 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. 

 $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000. 



Brandy wine (Mid-season to late). All growers are unanimous in 

 their praise of this magnificent berry, and it is considered one 

 of the finest mid-season to late-fruiting sorts. We do not know 

 that is 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 pro- 

 duces satisfactory crops, and will always be found in the front 

 rank of high-grade berries. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; 

 $60.00 per 1000. 



Chesapeake (Late). A most reliable berry, which is giving 

 perfect satisfaction in all parts of the country. 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 the highest quality. A berry that we can recommend for all 

 soils and conditions. $1.25 per doz.; $8.00 per 100; $70.00 per 

 1000. 



Early Jersey Giant. (Early). This has been well called "The 

 early Strawberry without a fault," it is one of the late 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. $1.25 per doz.; 

 $8.00 per 100; $70.00 per 1000. 



Gandy's Prize (Late). The standard late variety, which has 

 held its own for many years, and by which every new late 

 berry is judged. It is a strong healthy grower, but needs a rich 

 soil for its perfect development. The berries are borne on long, 

 strong stalks, well above the ground, a variety that is hard to 

 beat. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000. 



Glen Mary (Mid-season to late). In the Middle and Northern 

 States, where Glen Mary is at its best, probably no variety 

 will produce more quarts per acre. The berries are large, of 

 handsome appearance and good quality. The blossoms are 

 about half perfect, but carry enough pollen for their own 

 fruit. However, we believe the size and quantity of the berries 

 can be increased by planting with it some strong pollenizer like 

 Big Joe. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000. 



Lupton (Late). This berry has no equal for solidity, and because 

 of its extraordinary substance is an ideal berry for preserving. 

 Add to this the fact that it is very prolific, producing lavish 

 quantities of large brilliant red, smooth-surfaced, glossy berries 

 of high flavor. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000.
