PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 



PRINCETON CHIEF— (New) 



{Bisexual; Mid-season to Late.) 



The Sweetest of Strawberries. 



A tall luxuriant grower, with large, dark green foliage, free 

 from rust or disease, very prolific, enduring extremes of heat 

 Or cold. It has been tested on different soils for six years ; it 

 "Will grow on any soil the same as the Crescent. The blossom 

 is large and perfect and always sets perfect fruit. 



The fruit is produced in great abundance, on tall, stout 

 Stems, which stand up from six to eight inches the entire 

 season, holding its load of berries from the ground so they do 

 not get dirty, rotten rr scalded. The fruit is given the best 

 chance to mature and ripens all over at ence, leaving no rjreen 

 spots or white tips. It is beautiful in color, being of a dark 

 glossy red, which alone will make it an ornament for any 

 table. They are so beautiful in appearance that the moment 

 they are put on the market they will sell for the highest price. 

 The flavor is delicious and very sweet; being one cf the 

 sweetest of strawberries, it can be called the honey straw- 

 berry ; while its fine aromatic flavor, resembling that of the 

 wild strawberry, makes it one of the most delicious of berries. 

 Price* (pot-grown plants) 75c. per doz., $^.co per 100. 



PRINXETON CHIEF. 



PORTER'S SEEDLING, 



The Earliest Strawberry Crown. 



(Bisexual Extra Early.) 



This variety is chiefly valuable on account of its extreme earli- 

 ness. Out of nearly 2co sorts in o. r trial grounds, this for two 

 seasons has given us ripe berries several days ahead of any other ; 

 the berries are of good size, bright red and fair flavor. If you 

 want to have strawberries before your neighbor, you should grow 

 a few of Porter's Seedling. Price^ {pot-grown plants) 75c. 

 per doz., $5.00 per ico. 



PRINCESS. 



(Pistillate; Mid-season^) 



One of the best strawberries ever introduced, its strong points 

 being wonderful productiveness, enormous size and attractive ap- 

 pearance. The plants are hardy, vigorous and of luxuriant growth. 

 It roots deeply and stands drought better than almost any other 

 variety. The berries average remarkably laige, some having been 

 produced over six indies in circumfere?ice. It is unitormly per- 

 fect in form, ripens all over at once and holds up its size well to the 

 end of the season, and its quality is excellent. It was named by the 

 Minnesota Horticultural Society (in whose state it originated) ar.d 

 at the same time ic took first prize over fifteen other new seedlings. 

 It has invariably taken prizes wherever exhibited. In Mr. 

 Kramer's, the orignator's grounds, a strip 33 feet long by 5 feet 

 wide, when visited by the State .Experiment Station's represent- 

 atives yielded at that picking 61 quarts, and by actual count 

 three of these quarts contained 18, 20 and 22 berries re- 

 spectively. At the next picking this same strip yielded 

 25 quarts, and this record was by no means the best. 

 Price, (pot-grown plants) 6cc. per doz., $4.00 per 100. 



PARKER EARLE. 



{Bisexual : Mid-season to Late.) 



A most wonderful producer, having 

 yielded at the rate of 15, coo quarts per 

 acre. Thorough trials prove its adapta- 

 bi ity to all climates, out-yielding all 

 others in the south or north, producing 

 prodigiously in either wet or dry season, 

 btems strong and upright ; as many as 

 twelve to a plant, each carrying from 70 

 to 30 berries. We have picked more 

 berries from this variety than from the 

 same quantity of any other plants ever 

 raised. It produces wonderful crops and 

 endures hot, dry weather better than 

 most strawberries, and on rich, moist 

 soil will ripen a crop of berries almost 

 inconceivably abundant. The plant is a 

 robust grower, making enormous stocls 

 but very few runners, perfect flowers, 

 berries large, long conical, regular and 

 uniform, glossy crimson, fle«h firm, red- 

 dish and in quality excellent. It is re- 

 markably vigorous on all soils »nd under 

 a!l conditions. [See Cut next page]
