Pot-Grown Strawberry Plants. 



If planted before the middle of September these will produce a FULL CROP next June. 



While we do not offer a long list of varieties, our stock includes the very best so far as careful selection and test can 

 secure the highest quality. Scores of new strawberries come upon the market every year, of which but few have perma- 

 nent merit. Each season we add to our list all the better sorts which come forward with well endorsed claims to public 

 favor, and each season drop from our catalogue those which have failed to fulfill the claims made by their friends. 

 Varieties marked (P) are pistillate or imperfect flowering, and must be planted with a perfect flowering sort to give good returns. 



FOUR FINE NEW STRAWBERRIES. 



EARLY MAY.— This variety was found in the wild 

 state in western North Carolina. It is of strong, robust 

 growth, absolutely hardy and is never injured by late 

 frosts like most other kinds. It bears heavy crops of 

 medium-sized berries having the rich flavor and aroma 

 found only in the wild berry, but its most valuable 

 feature is its extreme earliness, coming into bearing 10 

 days before any variety now offered. Pot-grown plants 

 50 cents per dozen; $4.00 per 100. 



STAR. A new variety that comes very highly recom- 

 mended. The plant is extremely vigorous. This, to- 

 gether with its large size, perfect shape and exquisite 

 flavor should make it a favorite where a fancy fruit is 

 desired. Pot-grown plants 50 cents per dozen ; $4.00 per 

 100. 



CLYDE. This new variety has been tested over a wide 

 area and all reports are enthusiastic over its many merits 

 and all agree that it has come to stay. Plant is very 

 vigorous and healthy, deep rooting, standing drouth 

 well; foliage bright green; fruit glossy scarlet and of fine 

 quality. Pot-grown plants 50 cents per dozen ; $4.00 

 per 100. 



SEAFORD. This has been very thoroughly and ex- 

 tensively tried for four years by careful and discrimina- 

 ting growers in one of the most critical strawberry 

 sections of the country, and for productiveness, size, 

 firmness and flavor, Seaford is pronounced a most 

 remarkable acquisition. Pot-grown plants, 50 cents per 

 dozen ; $4.00 per 100.
