FARQUHAR'S 



POT-GROWN 



STRAWBERRY 



PLANTS. 



All the varieties offered are perfect-flowering (bisexual) except where marked P. The latter are pistillate and require a row of a perfect-flowering sort planted 



every 8 or 10 feet to poUenize their blossoms. 

 These, if planted in July and August, produce a large crop the next Summer. Being grown in pots, they may be shipped to a distance and planted with 



almost no interruption to their growth. The plants may be set in beds of three rows, one foot apart and one foot distant in the rows, vnth a 



space of two and one-half feet between the outside rows of adjoining beds left for a pathway. They may also be planted in single rows three feet 



apart and one foot apart in the rows.

mEDWm.— Continued. 



Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, of hand- 

 some, glossy dark-crimson color, and of dehcious flavor. It is one of 

 the best midseason berries, either for private use or market. It is a A-ig- 

 orous grower and requires good soil and high cultivation. As it does not 

 thrive in all soils, it should not be planted extensively until its adaptabil- 

 ity is ascertained. 



McAlpin. Very productive, and is considered by many growers to be 

 one of the best of the newer introductions. The berries are a beautiful 

 scarlet in color, very large and of rich, luscious flavor. 



Nick Ohmer. Dark, glossy red, globular berries of superior flavor, fine 

 for forcing. 



LATE TO VERY LATE. 



Chesapeake. The plants of the Chesapeake are large and ^ngorous, with 

 rich, dark-green fohage. The fruit is of large size, deep red in color and 

 of a rich, aromatic flavor. 



Commonwealth. This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing large, 

 conical, deep crimson fruit, sweet and of quality equal to the well-known 

 Bubach. Not only an extra large berrj-, but also very productive, of deep 

 rich color, soUd and quite juicy. 



William Belt. An exceptionally fine berrj'. In quahty it heads the h.st. 

 The large berries are glossy, deep red; late as Gandy.

 plants are of vigorous growth with fine dark-green foliage. 



Sample P. Excellent for either market or home use; prolific, large, firm 

 and delicious. 



MEDIUM. 



Abington. A strong-growing variety of recent introduction. The fruit is

 Brandywine. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect in form, bright red in 

 color, firm flesh, red to the center and of rich, spicy flavor. A great 

 cropper, especially on heavy soils, holds its fruit well up from the ground 

 and generally succeeds everj'where. 



LATE TO VERY LATE. 



Gandy. This popular old variety is probably known by most berry grow- 

 ers. It is more largely grown than an>' other late variety. On sandy 

 soils it is unproductive. 



Rewastico. A very productive new variety. The plants are of vigorous 

 growth with an aliundance of dark-green foliage and producing uniformly 

 large berries. Color rich cardinal red, ])onetrating to centre. 



POT-GROWN PLANTS of the above Standard varieties, from 21-in. pots, well rooted, delivery in July and August. $4.00 per 100; $38.00 

 per 1,000. 



FALL=BEARINa STRAWBERRIES. 



The Fall-bearing varieties produce fruit at Ihe same season as the ordinary Strawberries, but keep bearing until frost. To get the best results for a late crop, 

 the blossoms must be carefully kept off until July, or the plants will completely exhaust themselves before Fall. If the runners are kejH cut during the 

 Summer, it will give additional vigor to the late crop. 



Progressive. This variety is considered to be one of the best perpetual bearing Strawberries. The fruit is rich and sweet, a deep red inside and out; 

 of good medium size and quite firm. Pot Grown Plants, $7.00 per 100.
