EARLY JERSEY GIANT. A Promising New Early Sort. 



Early Jersey Giant ^^P^f ^ ^'^^ 2^^ ^:^^>' earliest, witi 



•^ "^ Ozark, etc. Berries very large, bril 



'ith St. Louis. Early 

 illiant scarlet-crim- 

 son, conical with pointed tip, colors all over at once, has delightful aroma and rich, 

 mild wild Strawberry flavor. Large light green calax or "burr." hence exceed- 

 ingly showy and attractive. Blossoms large, open rather late and perfect. Plant 

 a strong grower with large leaves on long pliant stems and a heavy yielder. The 

 largest and best very early variety. See illustration above. This is one of Mr. 

 Lovett's. the introduer of the famous Gandy, latest introductions. He sold these 

 plants at SIO.OO per hundred last spring, and he considers this the best early berry 

 ever introduced. I only have a few thousand plants of this variety this spring so 

 place your order early to be sure of getting some of them. 



FendalL ^^' Fendall, the originator 

 says ; * 'The plant is a strong 

 and vigorous, grower. Its foliage is a 

 beautiful light green, and as yet nas not 

 shown the slightest blemish in any re- 

 spect. The berries are as large, if not 

 larger, than any other variety grown, 

 and has a delicious flavor. In the length 

 of season it is certainly remarkable. In 

 1906, we picked berries from it on the 

 25th of May and the last on the 4th of 

 July. With the same care and under 

 like conditions, it produced twice as 

 many berries as the Senator Dunlap, 

 Coislcan. Nick Ohmer, Marshall. Climax 

 Glen Mary, Sharpless, \Vm. Belt, and 

 three times as many as the Gandy. In 

 1906. it yielded at the rate of 16,800 

 quarts per acre. It throws out a gi'eat 

 many runners, which root splendidly in 

 a very short time. The berries are per- 

 fect beauties, rich in color, smooth and 

 glossy, with long stems and a very large 

 exceedingly showy cap. It is the best 

 all 'round berry grown today, and both 



the plant and fruit are bound to com- 

 mand attention, wherever seen. " 



First Quality. ^^ ^^f^ %^, ^'^^^f^ 



^ -^ says ;'Tt will surely 



take the place of the Marshall for a fam- 

 ily berry. Will produce five times as 

 much from the same space of ground as 

 the Marshall. Great cropper, fine shape, 

 and colors well. This is the berry for 

 your own use. We have never heard 

 of a person who did not immediately be- 

 come enthusiastic over the First Quality, 

 There is something- that indescribable 

 something— about its flavor that com- 

 pletely captivates the taste. And it is 

 a flavor that grows in favor v/ith every 

 berry eaten. No one tires of it. Al- 

 ways a treat when you are ready to eat. 

 The more I see of this berry the better 

 I like it. The second year's fruiting 

 will be nearly as fire as from a new bed. "' 

 I have found the First Qualitv to be one 

 of the best flavored berries I eve • saw, 

 Trv it. An excellent market beiTv.
