DREER'S MID-SUMIVIER CATALOGUE. 



GENERAL LIST OF SELECT TESTED 



Pot-Qrown Strawberry Plants 



If planted before the middle of September, these will produce a full crop next June. 



REDUCTION IN PRICES. 



Please note the reduction in prices in the popular standard sorts. This is made possible 

 by our production of these plants in great quantity. We have perfect facilities for pack- 

 ing 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 1903. 



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, com- 

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

BederWOOd. Early, perfect. 



A well known early berry, a good strong grower, and most 

 prolific producer of regular conical shaped medium to large 

 fruit, color orange scarlet, and of excellent flavor. Never fails 

 to produce fine crops. 50 cts. per doz. ; ^3.00 per 100 ; $25.00 

 per 1000. 



Bismarck. Early, Perfect. 



A seedling from Bubach and resembles its parent in every way, 

 but is more robust and stocky, with the same iron-clad foliage ; 

 it is enormously prolific, even outyielding Bubach, with larger, 

 heavier and more solid berries. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 

 100 ; ^30.00 per looo. 



Brandywine. Late, Perfect. 



( See ilhisiration on front cover. ) 



All growers are unanimous in their praise of this magnificent 

 berry, and it is zoxiS\Atx^A. the 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, retaining 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. 50 cts. per doz.; IS3.00 

 per 100; $25.00 per loco.
