HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



SUCCESS 



(Early, Perfect) 



An improved form of the old famous Charles Downing, and as 

 its name indicates, has been a success under most varied conditions, 

 we consider it one of the most reliable early varieties for the home 

 garden, as it can always be depended upon for a good crop of large 

 berries of uniform shape of a bright flame color. $1-00 per doz.; 

 S7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000. 



WILLIAM BELT 



(Late, Perfect) 



For vigorous growth, great productiveness, size, beauty and 

 fine quaUty one of the very best. It is grown bj' the acre for fancy 

 fniit. The first berry to ripen on each fruit stalk, under high 

 culture, is apt to be coxscombed; all others are of regular form. 

 It is of bright, glossy red, the ideal color for a strawberrj-. Sl.OO

Dreer's"Home Garden'' Collection of Strawberries 



All Pot-Grown Plants which will Produce a FULL CROP of Berries next Summer 



Notwithstanding the care we take in keeping our list down so as to include only varieties of sterling merit, the amateur finds difficult}' 

 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, made up of Campbell's Early and Premier for early, Brandywine for mid-season, Chesapeake and 

 Gandy's Prize for late, and Progressive for an autumn bearing variety, all of them sorts which adapt themselves to the most varied 

 conditions of soil and climate, and which, in our judgment, combine in the highest degree all the quaUties which high-grade strawberries 

 should have:

Autumn Fruiting Strawberries 



Autumn-Fruiting or 

 Everbearing Strawberries 



After careful trials we have selected the three varieties offered 

 below as the most desirable. Under ordinary conditions they 

 produce their main crop of fruit at the same time as other varieties 

 and keep on bearing until frost. The proper plan is to cut off 

 all buds as they appear until late in July, and thus conser\'e 

 the strength of the plants for the fall crop. Treated in this 

 way an abundant crop of berries may be looked lor during Sep- 

 tember and October, or if the disbudding of parts of the plants 

 is discontinued late in June an almost continuous crop of this 

 luscious fniit may be secured throughout the growing season. 

 Good cultivation is essential to bring about the best results, a 

 liberal mulching during the summer is beneficial, and the plants 

 should not be allowed to suffer for lack of water at any time. 

 Forward. Of free growth, producing an abundance of fruit 

 throughout the summer and fall, particularly desirable for a 

 very late crop, if judjciously disbudded; berrj' of good size 

 and of excellent quality. 

 Peerless. A real fall-bearer — does not require disbudding and 

 produces fruit until killing frost, in November. The fruit and 

 blossoms being protected by ver>' hea\'y foliage from all but 

 severe frost. The berry is large to very large and wonder- 

 fully attractive. 

 Progressive. The most prolific fruiting; berries of fair size 

 and produced in great abundance; they are of an attractive 

 deep, glossy crimson color and of good flavor. 

 Price. Any of the Everbearing varieties, $1.25 per doz.; S8.00 

 per 100; $70.00 per 1000.
