Dreer*s Select Small Fruits 



For Fall Planting. Ready About October 15th 



Fall is a good time to plant hardy Grapes, Blackberries, Raspberries, etc. The plants being at that 

 time dormant are less liiible to injury in transplanting than when planted in spring. After planting, 

 mulch with 2 or .i inches of litter or manure. We do not handle fruit Iree^ such as apples, pears, cherries, etc. 



Two Luscious Hardy Grapes 



The Caco. A cross between Catawba and Concord which has 

 inherited the best characteristics of both piirents developing 

 a luscious fruit which ranks close to the greenhouse grown 

 product in high quality and melting texture. In appearance 

 it is one of the most beautiful of all hardy grapes. Large wine 

 red berries with abundant bloom carried in large compact 

 bunches. It ripens in advance of Concord and is a strong 

 vigorous grower. 



Champagne. This variety is extensively grown in the grape 

 growing districts of New Jersey. It has special merit not only 

 in the quality of its fruit but is also an e.xccptionally strong 

 grower and very prolific bearer. The large berries are cop- 

 pery red in color and of delicious flavor. 



Strong two-year-old plants of either of the above: 

 50c each; S5.00 per doz. ; $40.00 per 100.

Two New Early Strawberries 

 Fairfax and Dorsett 



These were developed by scientists in the U. S. Dept. of Agr. 

 In the opinion of most of those who have tested them they far 

 surpass in quality any variety known to growers in this country. 

 The "royal" flavor of these berries coupled with the fact that the 

 plants of both varieties are unusually vigorous, healthy, pro- 

 ductive, and that the Ijcrries average lar^e in size and are of 

 beautiful appearance will make them the leading early berries, 

 even displacing Premier in many places. Fairfax berries after 

 they have become fully ripe are dark in color although they stay 

 firm for many days. Dorsett berries are light in color and stay 

 light even when fully ripe. 



Either of the above varieties: 

 7Sc per doz.; $1.00 per 25; $1.50 per 50; S2.50 per 100.

 Strawberries all through late summer and fall. Plants pro- 

 ductive, berries large, quality fine. You will enjoy them.
