HENDERSON'S POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



Set Out This Summer Will Bear a Full Crop of Berries Next Year. Order Now for Delivery August 1st 



These pot-grown plants will be ready on and after August 1st, and if set out any time 

 before September 15th they will grow into fine plants and bear a full crop of luscious fruit 

 the next season, being a clear gain of one year over the "ground layer" plants, which is 

 certainly worth much more than the slight difference in first cost. They may be trans- 

 planted at any season, and it will scarcely check their growth; the earlier the pot-grown 

 plants can be planted after August 1st, the larger they will grow and the more berries they 

 will produce the next spring. Our pamphlet, Strawberry Culture, mailed free if requested when ordering. 



PERFECT vs. IMPERFECT FLOWERING STRAW- 

 RERRIES. The blossoms of strawberries are either staminate 

 (perfect flowering) or are destitute of stamens and are termed 

 pistillate (or imperfect flowering). Pistillate varieties must 

 have a row of a perfect-flowered sort, planted every 9 or 12 ft. 

 apart among them, or, better yet, every third or fourth plant 

 in the row, to pollenize their blossoms. When properly fer- 

 tilized the pistillate varieties are the most prolific.

New Strawberry — Fairfax 



BARRTMORE (Mid-Season, Perfect-Flower- 

 ing). The plant is a vigorous grower, producing 

 large bluntly conical berries. The color is glossy 

 rich dark crimson; the flesh red and meaty, and of 

 excellent flavor. A valuable berry for the home 

 garden or for market. 



Price, pot-grown plants, $6.00 per 100; "Jo or 

 over sold at hundred rate. 



BRAND YWINE 



(Mid-Season to Late, Perfect Flowering) 



This variety is one of the well-known and well- 

 liked reliables. It has been thoroughly tested in 

 many parts of the country, and gives universal 

 satisfaction. The berries of the "Brandywine" are 

 of immense size — very firm, solid and shapely for 

 so large a berry; occasionally fruits will be found 

 shaped as if two berries were joined together; 

 flesh red to the core, of delightful aroma, rich, 

 juicy and luscious. The color is of a rich, dark 

 glossy scarlet. (See engraving, ) 



Price, pot-grown plants, $6.50 per 100; 25 or 

 over sold at the hundred rate. 



BUSHEL-BASKET 



(Mid-Season, Perfect Flowering) 



This veritable giant is creating a genuine sensa- 

 tion throughout the New England States. It is an 

 immense plant, fruiting in mid-season; and the 

 fruit, though unusually large, is freely produced 

 and of high quality. (See engraving. 



Two Grand New Strawberries 



FAIRFAX a^ DORSETT 



Have Set a New Standard of 



Strawberry Quality and 



Productiveness 



These two new varieties Fairfax and 

 Dorsett were developed by the U. S. De- 

 partment of Agriculture and have created 

 a decided sensation among growers. 



Fairfax has yielded at the rate of 5,120 

 quarts per acre and Dorsett 6 640 quarts 

 per acre. 



The berries of Fairfax are of large size, 

 quite firm, intense bright red in color, with 

 yellow seeds and therefore, very attractive 

 in appearance. 



The Dorsett variety is slightly smaller 

 than the Fairfax, very firm, rather light 

 red in color with bright green caps. 



Strawberry specialists who have tested 

 both varieties say that Fairfax will lead 

 all others as a home garden variety, and 

 Dorsett as a shipping variety. (See en- 

 gravings.) 



Price, pot-grown plants, either Fair- 

 fax or Dorsett, $7.50 per 100; 25 or over 

 of either variety sold at the hundred 

 rate.

CHESAPEAKE 



(Mid-Season to Late, Pistillate) 



A splendid grower making just enough runners 

 for a matted row. The plants root deeply, are 

 vigorous and healthy, with large foliage. One of 

 the best in flavor, shape, size, color and appearance. 

 The berries, when good and ripe, are rather dark, 

 like Marshall.

EARLY JERSEY GIANT 



(Early, Perfect Flowering) 



There is no known variety that ripens earlier and 

 none bearing large berries that come near it in 

 earliness. The berries are brilliant crimson scarlet 

 in color, very firm, conical in shape, with pointed 

 tip and it colors all over at once. They have a rich 

 aroma, and delightfully mild wild strawberry 

 flavor.

New Strawberry — Dorsett 



EDMUND WILSON 



(Mid-Season, Perfect Flowering) 



This is not a commercial variety, but one for the 

 home garden. The berries are bluntly heart- 

 shaped in form, deep maroon in color, with firm, 

 smooth surface. The plants soon fill a space a foot 

 square, and grow to a height of fifteen inches. 



Price, pot-grown plants, $7.00 per 100; 25 or 

 over sold at the hundred rate. 



GANDY 



(Late, Perfect Flowering) 



One of the best late strawberries ever introduced. 

 Color, bright crimson and as glossy as if varnished. 

 This is one of the latest and best flavored berries we 

 have. 



Price, pot-grown plants, $6.00 per 100; 25 or 

 over sold at the hundred rate. 



GLEN MARY 



(Mid-Season, Perfect Flowering) 



We especially recommend it for the home garden. 

 Twelve berries will fill a quart; in shape the berries 

 are broadly heart-shaped, often widening at the 

 tip; color dark glossy crimson, fairly firm and of 

 excellent quality; plant strong and healthy. (See 

 engraving.
