DREER'S MIDSUMMER CATALOGUE. 



BUBACH. Mid-Season, PistiUate. 



One of the best known berries in the Philadelphia markets, 

 many of the most extensive market growers in this vicinity con- 

 sidering it the most profitable market berry, and no mistake will 

 be made in planting it extensively for home use ; it is prolific, 

 of good quality and good appearance ; an old favorite. 50 cts. 

 per doz. ; ^3.00 per 100 ; 525.00 per 1000. 



CHARLES DOWMING. Mid-Sea^on. Perfect. 



A grand old variety for the home garden, a good, free 

 grower, bearing good crops of medium-sized, conical, light red 

 berries of the most exquisite flavor. Succeeds in all localities. 

 Too soft for a market berry. 50 cts. per doz. ; ^3.00 per 100 ; 

 ^25. 00 per 1000. 



CLYDE. Early to Mid-Season, Perfect. 



A strong-growing, perfect-blooming, healthy plant, with light 

 green foliage. Everywhere tested, it proves to be exceedingly 

 productive of large, globular, perfectly formed, light scarlet 

 berries of fine quality. Always inclined to overbear. Some 

 plants have more fruit stalks than leaf stalks. A light applica- 

 tion of nitrate of soda in early spring, before fruiting, or a top- 

 dressing of stable manure in winter, will stimulate greater foliage 

 growth, and so help the fruiting of this remarkable variety. 

 There are but few strawberries that succeed as well over so 

 wide a range of country as Clyde. No family collection can be 

 complete without it. 50 cts. per doz. ; $3.00 per 100 ; ^25. 00 

 . per 1000. 



EARLY MAY. Extra Early, Perfect. 



A most valuable extra early variety of strong, robust growth, 

 absolutely hardy, and is never injured by late frosts. It bears 

 wonderfully heavy crops of medium-sized berries, having the rich 

 flavor and aroma found only in the wild berry, but its most valu- 

 able feature is its extreme earliness. 50 cts. per doz., $3. 00 per 

 100 ; ^25. 00 per 1000. 



EXCELSIOR. Extra Early, Perfect. 



An extra early that has been recommended from many differ- 

 ent sections not only on account of its extreme earliness, but also 

 on account of its productiveness, one large grower claiming that 

 it will produce four times as many berries as any extra early sort 

 known to him. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100 ; $30.00 per 

 1000. 



CANDY'S PRIZE. Late, Perfect. 



A strong, healthy plant, needing rich soil for its perfect devel- 

 opment. One of the best berries for late market. Fruit solid 

 and fit for shipment to distant markets. Berry of fine flavor. 

 The berries are borne upon long, strong stalks well above the 

 ground. No better late berry can be wished for ; a variety that 

 will be hard to beat. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.00 per loo ; ^25.00 

 per 1000. 



GLEN MARY. 



Mid-Season to Late, Imperfectly Bi-sexual. 



Originated in Eastern Pennsylvania, and is described by a 

 large grower as follows : "I have known it since its first bear- 

 ing, and firmly believe it deserves the title of ' the berry-grow- 

 er' s money maker.' " It makes a very strong plant, but few of 

 them. This reduces the cost of keeping the row in proper 

 shape for fruiting. Its roots are enormous, enabling it to ripen 

 its great crop of monster hemes in the driest season. It has 

 never been injured by the winter, even without mulch, and has 

 never failed to produce a large crop of fruit. The flower is 

 imperfectly bi-sexual, and has always been grown alone by the 

 originator. 50 cts. per doz. ; ;^3.oo per 100 ; §25.00 per 1000.
