[Bisexual — Midscason.) 
The berries are very beautiful and 
average extraordinarily large—often 
If will fill a quart measure. As an 
exhibition berry and for home use it 
is peerless—it captured the prize 
wherever exhibited almost without 
exception. It is the first of the extra 
large varieties to ripen, and although 
of great size the fruit is rarely ever 
misshapen. The color is a rich glossy 
crimson that every one admires—the 
surface color running well into the 
flesh, and the quality is far above the 
average. As to productiveness, it will 
not yield as large a number of berries 
as some varieties, but when measured 
in quarts or bushels will be above the average. The plant is 
faultless—a strong grower, often standing 20 to 22 inches high, 
rooting deeply and standing drought well. The large luxuriant foliage 
is sufficient to protect the blossoms from frost. 60c. per doz., $ 4.00 
per 100, $30.00 per 1,000.

“The Queen of Strawberries.” ( Pistillate-Late .) 
The Timbrell is considered by many eminent authorities as the 
best Strawberry in existence—it certainly is the best late pistillate 
variety. The berries are borne in immense clusters, often 26 and 30 
to a stem, of the largest size and delightful flavor, rich, juicy and 
sprightly ; considered the finest quality of any Strawberry in cultiva¬ 
tion. In shape, nearly round and generally very symmetrical, very 
solid and meaty; color, when fully ripe, a solid crimson. It will keep 
longer after picking than most vaiieties; it is very late in blooming, 
and in consequenco the flowers are not liable to injury from late 
frosts. The plants are full of health, strength and vigor. On account 
of the Timbrell being a pistillate variety it should have some late-flowering 
bisexual sort, such as Brandywine, planted every third row to pollenize 
the blossoms. 50c. per doz., S3.0J per 100, $25.00 per 1,000. 
For other Strawberries, see next page— Note.— The Strawberry plants offered In 
this catalogue cannot bo supplied after May 15th. Our Summer list of 
Pot-Grown Strawberries is usually ready about June 15th, and is mailed 
free to customers, or may be had upon application by mail when ready. 
F ROM our extensivo collection we 
have selected the varieties offered 
as the best for general use. The 
Strawberry plants wo offer, being strong 
layered plants which were transplanted 
into cold frames in the fall, if planted out 
any time before May 5th, will, under 
proper conditions, give quite a nice lot of 
fruit the present year. The plants here 
offered are far superior to the untrans¬ 
planted “layers” usually sold. 
Those marked with the letter P are 
pistillate varieties and must have a row 
of a perfect-flowered sort planted every 9 
or 12 feet apart among them, to pollenize 
their blossoms.

[Bisexual—Midseason to very Late.) 
Although the Brandywine was only offered to 
the public last year, yet it is already?eorW-/amo«8 
from the very flattering reports in the horticul¬ 
tural press, from the experiment stations and 
from strawberry critics to whom a few plants 
were given for trial; in fact, we doubt if any 
strawberry ever before has received such enthu¬ 
siastic praise over so wide an extent of territory. 
The berries of the “Brandywine” are of 
immense size, very firm, 
solid and shapely for 
so large a berry; flesh 
red to the core, of de¬ 
lightful aroma, rich, 
juicy and luscious. 
The seeds are but 
slightly embedded, 
which adds to its 
firmness. The col¬ 
or is of a rich dark 
glossy scarlet. In 
productiveness the 
B r a n d y w i n e is 
truly a marvel, 
both in size and 
quantity. The 
plants are 
remarkably 
vigorous, 
healthy and 
hardy.
