HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— STRAWtJERKY PLANTS 



/ 



SUCCESS 



(Early. Perfect) 

 An improved form of the old famous Charles Downing, 

 which, as its name suggests, has been a success almost univer- 

 sally under most varied conditions, and we consider it one of 

 the most reliable early varieties, particularly 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. ; $7.00 per 100 ; $60.00 per 1000. 



^WII^I^IAM BELT 



(Late, Perfect) 

 For vigorous growth, great productiveness, size, beauty and 

 fine quality one of the very best. It is grown by the acre for 

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

 high culture, is apt to be cockscombed ; all others are of 

 regular form. It is of bright glossy red, the ideal color for a 

 strawberry. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000. 



Dreer's "Home Garden'' Collection of Strawberries 



All Pot=Qrown 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 

 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 suc]i that we offer this collection, made up of Early Jersey Giant and Success^ for early. Brandy wine for mid- 

 season, Qandy and Wm. Belt 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 

 qualiiies which high-grade strawberries should have.

Autumn Fruiting Strawbbrribs 



Autunin-Eruitins^ or 

 Everbearing StraiJvberries 



Fall bearing Strawberries of European origin have little value 

 for planting in our trying climate. The varieties offered below 

 are of American origin, and under ordinary conditions produce 

 their main crop of fruit at the same time as the 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 conserve 

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

 way an abundant crop of berries may be looked for during 

 September and October, or if the disbudding of part of the 

 plants is discontinued late in June an almost continuous crop of 

 this luscious fruit may be secured throughout the growing sea- 

 son. Good cultivation is essential to bring about the best re- 

 sults, a liberal mulching during the summer is beneficial and 

 the plants should not be allowed to suffer for lack of water. 



Advance. This new variety is of quick, free growth, pro- 

 ducing a great abundance of fruit throughout the summer 

 and fall, especially if judiciously disbudded as advised above. 

 It has the general habits of "Progressive" with the same 

 excellent flavor, hut producing berries as large and handsome 

 in appearance as "Superb." $1.25 per doz. ; $8.00 per 

 100; $70.00 per 1000. 



Forward. Very similar to "Advance," except that it pro- 

 duces fewer runners. It will probably prove more desirable 

 for disbudding for late fall fruiting. $1.25 per doz.; $8.00 

 per 100; $70.00 per 1000. 



Progressive. Berries of fair size and produced in great 

 abundance; they are of an attractive deep, glossy crimson 

 color and of good flavor. $1.25 per doz.; $8.00 p>er 100; 

 $70.00 per 1000. 



Superb. Very free fruiting and for size of berries and qu.-xlity 

 "tl is at the head of this type, surpassing in this respect some 

 of ihe June'fruiting varieties. $1.25 per doz.; $8.00 per 100; 

 $70.00 |)er 1000.
