ELLIVARGER & BARRY’S CATALOGUE OF 
LAYER STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 
The plants which we usually furnish 
are well rooted layers from the open 
ground. This has been our practice for 
upwards of sixty years, and we have 
never had any reason to think that this 
mode of growing was not a success. 
Shipping Season. — Layer plants will 
not be furnished till after September 15th. 
We continue filling orders till the latter 
part of October. 
Plants by Mail. — Only layer piants 
can be sent by mail. 
For the convenience of those who 
cannot be reached by the express com¬ 
panies, we will forward by mail, prepaid, 
layer plants of all the varieties enumerated 
in this list. At the dozen rate the plants 
will be mailed at the prices annexed, 
without extra charge. At the hundred 
rate, if sent by mail, 25 cts. additional per 
hundred plants must be remitted for 
postage. This is an actual outlay for 
postage. Pot grown plants cannot be sent 
by mail.
