Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dreer's Mid-Summer List, Strawberry Plants, Celery and Other Seasonable Plants, Seeds Etc: July-August, 1896
Private gardeners and amateurs may be assured that the market gardeners know what they are about, and that their selections are based upon actual experience. Hence it is wise to follow them in their choice of varieties.
On the other hand, nothing is more evident than the fact that a successful berry of one locality may be a failure in another and not distant locality. Soil and culture 00t for much.
Our advice is, therefore, to plant mainly of well tested kinds; kinds which have been on the market long enough to prove their merits, and which do well in various locations.
But we urge our patrons not to fear to experiment with the newer sorts, in a smaller way for out of the newer sorts will come the favorites of the future.
