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



CHARLES DOWNING. 



(Bisexual: Mid-season.) 

 The well known popular old 



reliable. It has no especial point of 

 wonderful merit, excepting surpassingly fine 

 flavor, but it almost invariably gives the best 

 of satisfaction for home garden. For beauty, 

 good average size and productiveness it is un- 

 surpassed, and the plants do well in nearly all 

 soils and locations. Fruit conical, fairly reg- 

 ular, bright crimson, firm, juicy, sweet and 

 rich. (See cut ) Price, (pot-grown plants), 

 50c. doz.; $3.00 per 100. 



CRESCENT. 



{Early: Pistillate.) 



An old reliable, standard variety and ex- 

 ceedingly popular as a. remarkably early and 

 enormous yielder, succeeding everywhere. 

 Fruit medium size, light scarlet, fair quality, 

 improving in flavor later in the season; con- 

 tinuing a long time in fruit. The plant is 

 very vigorous and hardy and bears neglect 

 better than any variety we know of. Michel's 

 early is a good polenizer to plant with it. 

 Price, {Pot grown plants.) 50c. per doz ;

CHARLES DOWNING. 



CUMBERLAND TRIUMPH. 



(Bisexual: Mid-season?) 



An old standard variety and a great favor- 

 ite and cannot be too highly praised for home 

 use. The plant is remarkably strong and lux- 

 uriant in growth. It is tne earliest good berry. 



The fruit is bright and handsome, 

 and very pleasing to the eye; the fla- 

 vor is good either as a table berry or 

 for preserving. One of the best fea- 

 tures about this berry is its long 

 and continued season of bearing, last- 

 ing, as is does each year, from a 

 a period of from twenty-five to thirty 

 days and the last fruit quite as large 

 as the first. (Price, (pot grown 

 plants.) see. per doz.; $3.50 per 100. 



EDGAR QUEEN. 



{Pistillate.) 



This is the result of a lifetime de- 

 voted to improving the strawberry. 

 The originator selected this as the 

 very best from a lot of 5,000 plants 

 grown from the seed. It is unrivalled 

 in productiveness and is probably the 

 most beautiful berry ever raised . 

 The largest sin* le berry we ever 

 picked was from this variety and it 

 measured seven inches around. We 

 have selected berries over 2^ inches 

 in diameter, 16 of which filled a quart 

 basket and weighed one pound. The 

 flavor is very sweet, and they are red 

 way to the core; plant all that could 

 be desired — healthy, robust, and very 

 produ ctive. Price . ( pot grown pla tits) 

 60c. per doz., §4.00 per 100. 



GANDY'S PRIZE.— The Gandy. 



{Bisexual, Late.) One of the best late straw beries 

 ever introduced. Strictly fancy. The fruits are uniformly 

 large and perfect in form, and firm; color, bright crimson and 

 as glossy as if varnished; it has a large bright green calyx 

 which greatly adds to the beauty. This is the latest and best 

 flavored berry we have yet seen. The quality is all that can 

 be desired, giving out a most delightful aroma, suggestive of 

 both strawberries and peaches. It ripens from late lo v ry 

 late. The plants are very vigorous growers. In w ?ll 

 fertilized soil this berry is a big yielder. {See cut.)

GREENVILLE. 



(NEW.) 



{M id-season to late. Pistillate.) 



Berry of large and uniform aize, 

 very regular in shape and borne in 

 immense clusters. It ripens very 

 evenly and is highly attractive. The 

 flesh is of fine texture; flavor very 

 sweet with an aroma that is simply 

 delicious. The plant is almost fault- 

 less. Vigorous, healthy grower and 

 a wonderful p oducer. No one need 

 hesitate to plant the " Greenville," 

 as it is now practically a standard 

 sort, having been tested over a wide 

 e.xlent of country, and is very favor- 

 ably commented upon by all who 

 tried it. {See cut.) Price, {pot grown 

 plants y ) 50c. per doz.; $3.50 per 100.

{Late; Bi-Sexual.) 



Its great value les in its late- 

 ness of ripening and its fine qual- 

 ity. Fruit was picked as late as 

 July iSth; it, however, is a its best 

 about the first week in July. The 

 berries are very large, elongated, with 

 a short neck. Color, a rich crimson; 

 ileasant sub-acid flavor. Plant is 

 trong, compact, healthy grower and 

 wonderfully productive. It is an ex- 

 cellent polenizer for late pistillate 

 sorts such as Timbrell and Eureka.

EUREKA. 



(Pistillate. Mid-season to late.) 



" You will find this the 

 most beautiful berry 



you ever saw." Averaging ex- 

 tremely large, and bount if uliy prolific; 

 color, varnished scarlet and of splendid 

 quality. It commences to ripen with 

 the mid-season varieties and contin- 

 ues to bear until very late. It has 

 been extensively tested by prominent 

 horticulturists and at Scate Experi- 

 ment stations, and all endorse it with 

 the most flattering reports. 



To test its fruiting capacity in the 

 matted row system, plants were 

 placed as close as they would grow; 

 the resulting crop of btrrits were pro- 

 duced in such heaps and piles that 

 many people came to see the wonder- 

 ful sight. Price, (pot grown plants,) 

 50c. per doz., S3.50 per ioo.
