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 productive¬ 
ness, immense size, handsome uni¬ 
form shape, deep lustrous crimson 
color, and, above all, the rich, 
luscious flavor, combined with the 
delightful aroma, render Henderson’s 
“Great Ruby ” peerless among straw¬ 
berries. It commences to ripen soon 
after the early varieties, and bears 
until nearly all the others are gone. 
The luxuriant growth of the plant and its remark¬ 
able deep-rooting qualities, enable it to procure 
beautiful large berries even during a dry season, 
when other varieties are withered .and fruitless.
