Fall-Fruiting Strawberries AmericiIS and Progressive 
While they will produce fruit at the same season as the ordinary strawberries and keep on bearing until frost, 
yet to get the best results the blossoms should be kept cut off until August 1st so as to conserve the energies of the 
plants for the fall crop. Treated in that way ripe fruit will be borne in about three weeks after that date and con¬ 
tinuously until frost. One grower by that method gathered nearly 400 quarts from 500 plants set out in thespring; 
a splendid demonstration of their productive power. The quality is superb, the size is good, but not up to the 
large June berries, because of the season at which they are borne. The plants must not be allowed to suffer for 
water in the fruiting season and a mulch will be found to be of great advantage. High cultivation is essential 
for the best results in all crops and in growing these Strawberries a little extra attention will pay well. There is 
no more trouble to grow them than the ordinary Strawberries but they have to be attended to in proper season. 
A VI V RTriTS The P lant is medium-sized, with foliage a shade lighter in color than Progressive, has a good, 
^ heavy root system, and is a fairly good plant maker; strongly 
staminate blossoms. The fruit is light red, heart-shaped, of fine texture, good 
quality, half the size of Brandywine. Stout fruit-stems hold the fruit well off the 
ground. This variety has fruited here the past four years on spring set 
f ilants and new runners from July to cold weather. It is not uncommon 
or a spring set plant to produce from six to twelve well-loaded fruit- 
stalks. Price, 10c. each, SI.00 per doz., S8.00 per 100. 
013 (V/T.T) [TQQT'V'IT' A splendid grower, healthy and hardy, 
L II juuI V 1-i. very productive. The plant is of medium 
size, the blossom strongly staminate and very resistant to heat. Both 
blossoms and fruit are well protected by the strong healthy foliage. The 
fruit is rich and sweet; a deep red inside and out; of good medium size 
with a slight neck and quite firm. Plants set in August and September 
fruit the next spring and on the new runners from July until frost. 
Spring set plants fruit the same year they are set out. Price, 10c. each, 
$1.00 per doz., SS.00 per 100. 
NEWER STRAWBERRIES 
The Strawberries following were transplanted into cold frames in the fall, 
and if planted out any time before May 5th, will, under proper conditions, 
fruit some the present year. 
All the varieties offered are perfect flowering (bisexual) except where 
marked P or pistillate. The latter must have a row of a perfect flowering 
sort every nine or twelve feet to pollenize their blossoms. 
ABINGTON. (Midseason.) A grand berry, a 
strong grower and great plant maker. Grows 
10 to 12 inches high, with heavy fruit stalks 
which stand erect. The berries are of large 
size, a fair average is 25 to a quart. They are 
bright red, firm and of good flavor. 
CARDINAL. (P.) (Midseason.) The berries 
are large and beautiful, perfectly delicious. 
The plant is ideal, strong and vigorous. 
It is a pistillate variety. 
CHESAPEAKE. (P.) (Midseason to 
late.) A splendid grower making just 
enough runners for a matted row. 
The plants root deeply, are vigorous 
and healthy, with large foliage. 
One of the best in flavor, shape, 
size, color and appearance. The 
berries when good and ripe are 
rather dark, like Marshall. They 
ship well and because of their fine 
color and exquisite flavor always 
command a good price. 
CHIPMAN. (Second early.) Round 
berries, uniform, large, beautiful 
color and splendid quality. A vig¬ 
orous, healthy grower. Fruit firm and 
an excellent keeper. 
COMMONWEALTH. (Very late.) The 
berries are of the largest; and broadly cone- 
shaped and quite smooth; moreover it is very late. 
CORSICAN. (Midseason.) A distinct variety. The 
fruit is dark crimson, rich and delicious flavor, large size 
and firm. 
FEND ALL. (P.) (Midseason to late.) A magnificent variety, berries 
rich red, smooth and glossy. In size the berries are not surpassed by those 
of any other variety grown, while the flavor is superior to that of most 
large fruited sorts. Growth vigorous, very deep rooting, season of fruiting 
very long. 
FREMONT WILLIAMS. (Late.) A valuable late variety. The plants 
are healthy of medium size, compact; berries are large and uniform, 
conical in shape and very firm. The surface color is a dark, glossy 
crimson, and that of the flesh, light red. The flesh is of fine texture and 
the flavor all that could be desired. 
GREAT RUBY. (P.) (Midseason to late.) The healthy, vigorous growth, 
remarkable productiveness, size, uniform shape, deep crimson color, and. 
above all, the rich luscious flavor, combined with the delightful aroma 
render Henderson’s “Great Ruby” peerless among Strawberries. 
HERITAGE. (Midseason to late.) A prodigious yielder — from mid-season 
until very late—of unusually large and beautiful berries of a dark shining 
crimson color and round-tapering, conical shape. The flesh is solid, of 
fine texture and its delicious flavor is unsurpassed. 
MISSIONARY. (Early.) This fine variety originated in Delaware. It is 
very early and very productive. The plants are large and vigorous. The 
berries are broadly conical and very uniform in shape and size; of a dark 
rich red and as glossy as if varnished. The flesh is firm, fairly Juicy and 
red to the core. Calyx separates readily from the fruit so that it is easily 
hulled. 
MASCOT. (Late.) Season same as Gandy, lasting longer and usually 
producing a better crop of equally good berries. It has been found to do 
well on land too dry for Gandy. 
RELIANCE. (Midseason.) This is a perfect flowered variety, ripens with 
the “Marshall’’ and has a long season. It is remarkably uniform in shape 
for such a large berry. The quality is unsurpassed, juicy, luscious, solid 
to the center, the flavor being what is generally known as “mild.” The 
color is dark crimson, very glossy and attractive, remarkably even all over. 
SAMPLE. (P.) (Late.) This comparatively new and splendid variety 
is one of the very best late fruiting pistillate strawberries in cultivation. 
The plant is a large healthy grower making a great mass of roots, insuring 
it against both drought and frost. It is a big producer of very large 
roundish berries holding up well in size to the end of the,strawberry season. 
The berries are of a rich dark red color clear to the center and of un¬ 
surpassed quality. „ , , 
SUCCESS. (Early.) The berries are of large globular form slightly 
conical, and of a light bright scarlet; the flavor being always fine, mild, 
sweet and rich. They are a little soft for shipping, but this fact empha¬ 
sizes their superiority for the home garden. The plant is a vigorous, 
strong grower, free from ru»t and abundantly productive. 
UNCLE JIM or DORNAN. (Midseason to late.) Extra large berries— 
very uniformly heart-shaped—-bright, beautiful red and high quality. 
Price of the Newer Strawberries, 40c. per doz., $2.50 per 100, $15.00 per 
1000. Mailed free (if wanted) at the dozen rate.
