DREER'S MID-SUMMER LIST. 



THE HERSEY. 



s berry possesses all the good qualities desired for home use and 



rket. Its flower is perfect, requiring no other variety to fertilize 



The fruit is of most excellent flavor, having the taste and aroma of 



the best varieties of the wild 

 Strawberry. Its form is very 

 attractive, and its color a rich, 

 dark red ; very uniform in size 

 and easy to hull. The vines are 

 very strong and thrifty in appear- 

 ance, also extremely hardy and 

 very productive. Under ordinary 

 culture, 1,000 quarts of fruit 

 have been grown on a plot of 

 land sixty feet square — this being 

 at the rate of over 12,000 quarts 

 per acre. 75 cents per dozen ; 

 $5.00 per 100. 



Early Strawberry — 

 VAN DEMAN. 



An extra early perfect flower- 

 ing variety, a seedling of Cres- 

 cent crossed with Captain Jack, 

 the earliest in our collection. It 

 is a strong, vigorous grower, with 

 dark glossy scarlet fruit and yel- 

 low seed, firm and tart, a variety 

 that is certain to become popular. 



75 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100. 



THE BANQUET. 



In this New Strawberry we 

 have an exceptionally high fla- 

 vored berry. It is not an untested 

 variety, but has been under culti- 

 vation since 1880, when it first 

 originated, in Orange County, 

 New York. It is a seedling of berries crossed with the wild strawberry of the fields : the exquisite flavor of 

 the wild fruit is so marked in " The Banquet " as to at once place it at the head of the list of high flavored 

 Strawberries. 



The berries are of medium size, measuring about one-and-a-half inches in diameter, of uniform conical 

 shape, ripening up well without green ends, of a rich crimson color ; in season it is about medium. 

 75 cents per dozen ; $5.00 per 100. 



Late Strawberry.— BRANDYWINE. 



A new very late variety that is certain to become popular, especially as a family berry. It is a very 

 strong, vigorous grower, with very heavy foliage and perfect flowers ; the berries, which are of a rich color, 

 are of immense size. $1.00 per dozen ; $6.00 per 100.
