DREER'S SELECT SMALL FRUITS 



FOR FALL PLANTING. READY ABOUT OCTOBER 20th 



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

 to injury in transplanting than when planted in spring. After planting, mulch with 2 or 3 inches of litter or manure. Wc do not handle 

 fruit trees, such as apples, pears, cherries, etc. 



Two New Early Strawberries 



Fairfax and Dorsett 



Developed by scientists in the U. S. Dept. of Agr. Selected 

 from thousands of seedlings. 



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 and 

 productive, and that the berries average large in size and of 

 beautiful appearance, we believe will make them the leading 

 early berries, even displacing Premier in many places. The berries 

 of Fairfax and Dorsett differ in some ways. Fairfax berries, after 

 they become fully ripe, are dark in color although they stay firm 

 for many days after ripening. Dorsett berries are light in color 

 and maintain their light color even when fully ripe. 



Either of above varieties, 75 cts. per doz.; $1.00 per 25; $1.50 

 per 50; $2.50 per 100.

Two Luscious Hardy Grapes 



The Caco. A cross between Catawba and Concord, which has 

 inherited the best characteristics of both parents 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, berries large, 

 wine-red with abundant bloom carried in large compact bunches. 

 It ripens in advance of Concord and is a strong vigorous grower. 



Champagne. A variety that is being extensively grown in the 

 grape growing districts of New Jersey and which has special 

 merit not only in the quality of its fruit but is also an exception- 

 ally strong grower and very prolific bearer. Its berries are of 

 large size, copper3'-red in color and of delicious flavor.

 sorts, 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz.; $40.00 per 100.
