H. E. HOOKER & CO., 
Commercial Nurseries, 
Rochester, N. Y. 
The following are some of the distinguishing points of the 
“Hooker which originated in our Nurseries. 
The plant is very vigorous and hardy ; 
It is extremely productive; 
It is of the largest size ; 
It is very dark colored ; flesh, also deeply colored; 
It is the only large and productive Strawberry, which has also 
high flavor and quality ; it is for the combination of these 
points that we claim its superiority; 
It is excellent for preserving—retaining its high, rich color, 
when preserved; 
It has perfect flowers—and consequently requires no other va¬ 
ried planted near to fertilize it. 
Our nurseries were established in 1830 ; and rank now among 
the most extensive in the United States—occupying 200 acres. 
They are planted exclusively with Nursery productions, em¬ 
bracing every variety of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Shrubs,
