THE HENDERSON. 



9* 



This NEW STRAWBERRY originated with Mr. George 



Seymour, of Soutli Norwalk, Conn., who named it in honor of our 



senior partner, and who also places the variety exclusively with us 



for distribution. This season is the first time that it has ever been 



offered for sale. It is doubtful if there is another Strawberry in 



cultivation, having- such a combination of good qualities, as the 



Henderson. The fruit is of the largest size, early, and immensely 



sJW productive, but its excelling merit, is its exquisite flew or. It was 



,K ft ^j2f\ exhibited for the first time at the New York Horticultural So- 



'S'H' i ; ( q ciety's Show, in 1883, and while admired for its beautiful appear- 



i Hub ance, its delicious flavor and aroma gave it a distinction and value 



■ \ - ' v ,:v/ above all others. 



Whether for family or market use, the Henelerson is certain to 

 become a standard sort ; — and its strong and healthy growth will 

 adapt it to every soil. It is what is known as a perfect flowered 

 variety, and therefore will never fail to produce a crop. Plants 

 set out as late as Sept. 25th, 1883, gave nearly a pint of fruit 

 in June, 1884, or in nine months from date of planting.

JERSEY QUEEN — This variety was sold for the firsl time in the Fall of 1881, and has proven to 

 to be one of the most desirable sorts thus far introduced. The size is immense, often measuring six inches 

 in circumference. Shape, roundish conical; color, beautiful scarlet crimson; perfectly solid and of excel- 

 lent flavor. It is one of the latest. The crop in ibis vicinity being in perfection about the 25th of June, 

 while the average crop of Strawberries is at its best about the 15th of June in this locality. Strong pot layers, 

 75 cts. per dozen ; S5.00 per 100. 



KING OF THE NORTH— Fruit of the largest size and of a light crimson color. One of the 

 earliest, abundantly productive and of excellent flavor. Strong pot layers, $1.50 per dozen ; $8.00 per 100. 



LONGFELLOW IMPROVED— A seedling raised by a blacksmith named Adams, of Hudson 

 County, N. J. One of the most beautiful strawberries we have 'ever seen. .Many considered it as the finest 

 in an exhibit of over 200 sorts at the New York Horticultural Society's show in June of 1882. It is of the 

 largest size, dark glossy crimson, with prominent golden seeds and excellent flavor. Strong pot layers 

 $2.00 per dozen ; $6.00 for 50 : $10.00 per 100. 



GOLDEN DEFIANCE — The lightest colored berry of our collection. Fair size, good quality and 

 of average productiveness. Strong pot layers, 00 cts. per dozen ; $4.00 per 100. 



Bl DWELL— One of the best. Immensely productive, large size, good flavor and very early. The 

 Bid well, however, has one fault. It is so enormously productive that if the soil is poor half of the berries 

 often fail to mature. Strong pot layers, 60 cts. per dozen ; $3.00 per 100. 



SHARPLESS— One of the largest and heaviest berries in cultivation. It is of fine flavor, a good 

 berry and has deservedly become a standard sort. Strong pot layers, 60 cts. per dozen ; $4.00 per 100. 



'DOWNING— Combines all the best, qualities, being large, early, rich in color and flavor, and very 

 productive. Strong pot layers, 60 cts. per dozen ; $3.00 per 100. 



M ANCH ESTER— A sort sent out two years ago. Of fair size and quality, very productive. A first- 

 rate market sort. Strong pot layers, 60 cts. per dozen ; $4.00 per 100.
