Henderson’s Selection of the Newer Strawberries 
The Strawberries following were transplanted into cold frames in the 
fall, and if planted out any time before May 5th, will, under proper 
conditions, fruit some the present year. 
All the varieties offered are perfect flowering ( bisexual) except where 
marked P or pistillate. The latter must have a row of a perfect flower- 
ing sort every nine or twelve feet to pollenize their blossoms. 
Bushel-basket (MMid-season, Perfect Flowering). This veritable 
giant is creating a genuine sensation throughout the New Engiand 
Status. It is an immense plant, fruiting in mid-season; and the fruit, 
though unusually large, is freely produced and of high quality. 
Chesapeake (Mid-season to Late, Pistillate). A splendid grower 
making just enough runners for a matted row. The plants root eeply, 
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 brillant crimson scarlet in color, 
very firm, conical in shape, with pointed Goan it colors all over at 
ouce: They have a rich aroma, and delight y mild wild strawberry 
avor. 
Edmund Wilson (Mid-season, Perfect Flowering). This is not a 
commercial variety, but one for the home garden. ‘The berries are 
bluntly heartshaped 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. 
John H. Cook (Mid-season, Perfect Flowering).- This is the finest 
of all the wonderful Van Fleet Hybrids. It is an enormous cropper, 
ripening with the second early varieties. The berries are of exquisite 
quality, blood red in color, and very firm. Of superlative excellence 
for the home garden, and of untold value to the market grower. In 
delicious flavor it closely approaches the wild strawberries 
Stevens Late Champion (Late, Perfect Fluwwering). One of the 
latest of the late, it is also one of the best either for the home garden 
or for market. It is a big producer of fine, large, bright colored berries

holding up in size well to the very end of the season. Its very late 
bloom makes it immune to late spring frosts, and it is in full fruit when 
most other varieties have entirely finished their fruiting season.

Fall-Fruiting 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. _ 
Champion Everbearing. This is one of the newer varieties that 
promises to be a decidedly more prolific sort that Superb, which it 
resembles in habit of growth and appearance of fruit. 
Lucky Boy. Claimed to be ‘the biggest, Sweetest, and most pro- 
ductive 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 
uture.” 
Progressive. A splendid grower, healthy and hardy, very produc- 
tive. ‘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. Plants set in August and September fruit the next spring and 
on thé new runners from July until frost.
