(. Pistillate , midseason to late.) 
This new Strawberry has proved 
to be one of the finest varieties ever 
introduced. A favorite among those 
who desire the most uniformly 
handsome and large, richly colored, 
delightfully flavored strawberry for 
the home table. The healthy, vig¬ 
orous growth, remarkable produc¬ 
tiveness, immense size, handsome 
uniform shape, deep lustrous crimson 
color, and, above all, the rich- 
luscious flavor, combined with the de¬ 
lightful aroma, render Henderson’s “ Great 
Ruby ” peerless among strawberries. It 
commences to ripen soon after the early varieties, and 
bears until nearly all the others are gone. The luxuri¬ 
ant growth of the plant and its remarkable deep- 
rooting qualities enable it to produce beautiful large 
berries even during a dry season, when other varieties 
are withered and fruitless. (See cut.) Price, 50c. 
per doz., $3.00 per 100, $25.00 per 1000.
