POT GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
For Summer and Autumn Planting 
ALL SHIPMENTS MADE DIRECT FROM LEXINGTON BY EXPRESS 
Marshall 
Pot-grown strawberry plants are ready for delivery 
about August first, and may be set out as late as the 
middle of September, giving a full crop the following 
spring. Plants should be set 15 to 18 inches apart; so 
spaced, 100 plants will be enough for sijc rows, 20 to 25 
feet long. Rich, sandy loam is best for strawberries. In 
planting, press the soil firmly about the roots, keeping the 
crown of the plant just above the surface. Keep runners 
cut off. Early in December cover the bed with dry straw 
or hay. In spring, when the plants show indications of 
growth, pull the covering aside from the crowns of the 
plants so that new leaves can come through. A fresh 
mulching of hay or new grass about May first will pre¬ 
vent the growth of weeds, and keep the fruit clean. 
Varieties in the following list are perfect flowering and 
may be planted without a mixture of other varieties for 
fertilizing purposes. 
SHIPMENTS.—Potted strawberries should be shipped by

very productive. Berries large, firm, well colored and a 
good shipper. A native of New England, and a great 
favorite in the home garden.

Breck’s Abundance. Midseason. (Per.) The plants of 
this excellent variety are vigorous in growth and very 
productive. Fruit highly colored, conical in shape and 
keeps well. 
Commonwealth. Late. (Per.) This is one of the latest 
of all Strawberries, and bears large conical, deep crimson 
fruit, sweet, and of the best quality. While the berry 
is not extra large, it is very productive, of deep rich 
color, firm and good. We consider it one of the best 
late varieties. 
Early Jersey Giant. Early. (Per.) Vigorous grower, 
very productive. Berries very large, conical in form, and 
of good flavor. We consider it a very valuable early 
market variety. 
Early Ozark. Extra early. (Per.) One of the most 
productive of the early varieties. Produces large dark 
red berries of rather acid flavor, but very delicious. The 
plants are of vigorous growth, with healthy dark green 
foliage. 
Excelsior. Early. (Per.) One of the standard early 
varieties. Fruit is of round conical form, dark red color, 
and of mildly acid flavor. 
Glen Mary. Late. (Per.) Exceptionally valuable in 
New England, being of vigorous growth, productive of 
large good quality fruit. Many growers find this the 
best money making variety they have, largely on ac¬ 
count of its great productiveness. 
Heritage. Midseason until late. (Per.) A prodigious 
yielder from midsummer until very late. The berries 
are unusually large, of a dark shining crimson color, 
conical in shape. The flesh is solid, of fine texture, and 
its flavor is unsurpassed. 
Marshall. Midseason. (Per.) The fruit of this re¬ 
markable sort is enormous in size, a glossy dark crimson 
color, and of delicious flavor. It is a vigorous grower, 
and requires good soil and high cultivation. Its fruit 
brings the highest price of any berry in the Boston mar¬ 
ket. The demand for this sort exceeds that of any other 
in eastern Massachusetts. 
Parson’s Beauty. Midseason. (Per.) One of the most 
successful varieties in culture. The plants are good 
growers, and produce enormous crops of large berries 
that sell well in the market. 
Senator Dunlap. Early Midseason. (Per.) A medium 
early vigorous growing highly productive variety, pro¬ 
ducing dark red berries of medium size. The flesh is 
red all through, and exceedingly juicy. It yields large 
crops of fruit which keeps for several days on the plants 
after being ripe enough to pick. It comes the next to 
being a sure cropper of any variety grown. 
FALL OR EVERBEARING 
STRAWBERRIES 
Of the various everbearing sorts which have been 
introduced these two varieties have proved their value 
for commercial planting as well as for the home gar¬ 
den. Fruit commences to ripen in mid-June, and con¬ 
tinues until destroyed by frost in the fall. It is 
generally conceded that the flavor and general quality 
is as good as, or better than, that of the spring-bearing 
varieties. The quality is somewhat improved by 
pinching ofT the first blossoms during the spring sea¬ 
son. 
Progressive. This variety makes a vigorous growth, 
and produces immense quantities of berries. Blos¬ 
soms should be kept picked off until about the middle 
of July. If this is done, a heavy crop is insured from 
about the first of August until heavy frost. The ber¬ 
ries are of medium size and excellent quality. 
Superb. The berries of this excellent variety are a 
little later than those of Progressive. The plants are 
about equal in vigor of growth, but do not produce 
so many berries per plant as Progressive. The qual¬ 
ity, however, is excellent, and is always sure to bring 
the highest price on the market. 
Price*, 10c. each; $1.00 per doz.; $5.00 per 100.
