P LANTS. 
TRANSPLANTED 
LAYERS. 
From our extensive collec¬ 
tion wo have selected the va¬ 
rieties offered as the best for 
general us^ The Strawberry 
plants we 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. 
Tlie plants here offered are far superior to the 
untransplanted “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. 
SELECT STRAWBERRIES. 
BISMARCK. An improvement upon Bubaeh No. 5, being 
more robust and stocky and more productive. Berries very large, 
bluntly conical, bright scarlet, firm and solid and of excellent quality. 
A grand berry in every way. 
BRANDYWINE. (Midseason to very late.) Brandywine is already world- 
famous; in fact, wo doubt if any Strawberry ever before has received such 
enthusiastic praise over so wide an extent of territory. The berries are 
of large size, glossy scarlet, very firm, solid and shapely, of delightful 
aroma, rich, juicy and luscious, and wonderfully productive. 
CLYDE. This is the great shipping berry, a money-maker for the 
gardener and a boon for the amateur, as it does well where all 
others fail. Berries roundish-conical, bright scarlet, fine quality, 
very productive. (Early to midseason.) 
JERSEY MARKET. (P.) An ideal market berry, combining firm¬ 
ness, bright color, good keeping qualities, productiveness, good 
flavor, uniformly good size and vigorous growth. 
MARGARET. A remarkable berry in many respects, large size, 
fine flavor, late in bearing, plant of wonderful strength and 
great productiveness. All who have tried it are delighted with it. 
MARSHALL. (Midseason.) The berries are very beautiful and 
average extraordinarily large—often 14 will fill a quart measure. 
As a berry for home use it is peerless. 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 crim¬ 
son that every one admires, the surface color running well into 
the flesh, and the quality is far above the average. 
McKINLEY. (Midseason.) Conspicuous for its size, shape, color 
and quality. Shape roundish, inclining to conical, but some¬ 
times flattened or cockscombed; color crimson; flesh moderately 
firm, and quality extra good. Plant is vigorous and healthy. 
MICHIGAN. The latest of all berries and should be planted by 
all who desire to extend the Strawberry season to its utmost 
limits. Large size, prime quality and delicious flavor. Form 
bluntly conical, color bright rich crimson. 
NIC. OHMER. A giant among Strawberries, it is never mis¬ 
shaped. Dark glossy red, firm and of excellent flavor. Plant 
large and healthy, sending out a wealth of runners and rooting 
deeply. 
RIDGEWAY. The ideal berry for the family table or home 
market. Quality unsurpassed, the size will average large to very 
largo, berries nearly round, bright crimson with golden seed. 
WM. BELT. Another new Strawberry that is sure to make its 
mark. For size alone it ranks among the best, producing berries 
twelve of which will fill a quart measure. The fruit is conical, 
rather long, regular in outline, bright red and glossy. The 
quality is excellent, plant strong and prolific. 
Price for any of the above, 40c. per doz., $2.50 per 100, $20.00 
per 1,000. Special quotations given on larger quantities. 
Note.— The Strawberry plants offered in this catalogue cannot 
be 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. 
"I hare received the plants all right. The Strawberry plants are very good, 
they are such stout, healthy little things: we put them in the ground and it 
seemed as though they were waiting to get into a place where they would have 
room enough to grow. You ought to see them. 1 thank you for the Chrysan¬ 
themums. 1 hope l will hare a little good luck with them." — MRS. McCANN,

NEW FRENCH EVERBEARING 
-STRAWBERRY, 
Fruit of good sizo; the surface color is of a rich, glossy red. 
which color permeates the flesh as well. The berries are firm, very 
juicy and of a sweet, sparkling flavor. The plant is hardy, vigor¬ 
ous, an abundant and continuous bearer, both on the old plants as 
well as the young ones. In addition to its great productiveness 
and value as a garden borry, beautiful strawberries can be obtained 
all wintor without the great expense attending tho forcing as in 
other varieties; for young plants potted up in July or August, form 
fine plants by tho beginning of winter, when they should be placed 
under sashes or in a grapery or greenhouse, and fruit may be 
gathered from them during the winter and spring. This new 
Everbearing Strawberry is the forerunner of a new class of this popu¬ 
lar fruit. Our transplanted plants sot out this spring should fruit 
soino this year and will bear bountifully tho following spring, and 
continuing, though more sparingly, throughout the summer. In 
addition to this, the plants throw out strong runners which form 
now plants, and if not cut from tho parent plants will also fruit the 
sumo season, thus giving a continuous supply of fruit until frost . 
St. Joseph received a first-class certificate from tho "Societe 
Nationals d’Hortlculture de France.” Brice (transplanted plants), 
10c. each, $1.00 per doz., $0.00 per 100, $40.00 per 1,000.

NLW STRAWBERRY, 
TWO CROPS PRODUCED IN 
ONE SEASON. 
For sevoral seasons past our attention has been called to a Straw- 
borry which made its appearance in tho New York market in Sep¬ 
tember, and we woro at first loath to believe that the fruit could bo 
obtained under natural conditions at that season of the year. In¬ 
vestigation, however, showed that such was the case; the fruit was 
picked in the open field from the same plants that produced a 
bounteous crop in June. The fruit is very large when well grown, 
a glossy crimson, delicious flavor, and a great point in its favor is 
that it is very easily hulled. It is a perfect-flowered variety, 
modiura to late. Price transplanted layers, 60c. per doz., $4.00 per 
100, $30.00 per 1,000.
