4 FROM PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK 



PROLONG THE SEASON 



UNTIL FROST pla§1^,ng FALL-FRUlTlNG 



STRAWBERRIES 



The varieties described below will produce fruit at the same season as the ordinary strawberries, 

 and keep on bearing until frost; yet to get the best results the blossoms should be kept cut off until August 

 1st, so as to conserve the energies of the plants for the fall crop. Treated in that way, ripe fruit will be 

 borne in about three weeks after that date and continuously until frost. 



ADVANCE 



The plant is medium-sized, with foliage a shade lighter in color than Progressive, 

 has a good heavy root system, and is a fairly good plant maker; strongly staminate 

 blossoms. The fruit is light red, heartshaped, of fine texture, good quality, half the 

 size of Brandywine. Stout fruit-stems hold the fruit well off the ground. Price, pot- 

 grown plants, $9.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate. 



CHAMPION EVERBEARING 

 This is one of the newer varieties that promises to be a decidedly more prolific sort 

 than Superb, which it resembles m habit of growth and appearance of fruit. Price, 

 pot-grown plants, $10.00 per 100 ; 25 or over, sold at the hundred rate, 



FRANCIS 



Plant, medium sized; fohage, medium sized and round, with a hard glossy surface; 

 root system, medium; fruit, medium to large, rather long and of a nice, glossy red; 

 quality, sweet and good. A fair plant-maker, a strong staminate, fruit-stems long, 

 and cannot hold its load of fruit from the ground. A sure varietj' to fruit on new plants. 

 Price, pot-grown plants, $8.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred rate. 



LUCKY BOY 



Claimed to be "the biggest, sweetest, and most productive ever-bearing strawberry 

 as yet produced." From its behavior with us and the enthusiastic reports we have 

 received from other growers, we feel it is destined to be the "ever-bearing variety of 

 the future." Price, pot-grown plants, $10.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred 

 rate. 



MINNESOTA 



Very popular throughout the Middle West; quite similar to Progressive; possibly 

 a trifle larger. Price, pot-grown plants, $8.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred 

 rate. 



PROGRESSIVE 



A splendid grower, healthy and hardy, verj-^ productive. The plant is of medium 

 size, the blossom strongly staminate and very resistant to heat. Both blossoms and 

 fruit are well protected by the strong healthy foliage. The fruit is rich and sweet; a 

 deep red inside and out; of good medium size, with a slight neck and quite firm. Phints 

 set in August and September fruit the next spring and on the new runners from July 

 until frost. Price, pot-grown plants, S9.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred 

 rate. 



SUPERB 



No other Fall-bearing variety is so well known or so largely planted. It yields a 

 good crop both summer and autumn. Pot-grown plants set out in summer yield a 

 few berries the first autumn, and a fine crop the following year. The berries are nearly 

 round, smooth, dark crimson, glossy, of sweet mild flavor and larger than those of 

 the Progressive. Plants are vigorous for a Fall-bearing variety, with clean, dark- 

 green leaves. Price, pot-grown plants, $9.00 per 100; 25 or over sold at the hundred 

 rate.
