EARLY JERSEY GIANT (Van Fleet No. lo) 



Pre-eminently the finest of the early varieties. As a matter of fact there is no known 

 variety that ripens earlier and no variety yielding large berries that comes anywhere near it 

 in earliness. It is also brilliant scarlet-crimson in color, and exceptionally firm — by far the 

 firmest of all early varieties. 



Berries very large, conical with pointed tip, colors all over at once, has delightful aroma 

 and rich,' mild, wild Strawberry flavor. Large, light green calyx or "burr," hence exceedingly 

 showy and attractive. Blossoms, large, open, rather late and staminate. Plant a strong grower 

 with large leaves on long pliant stems and a heavy yielder. The largest and best very early 

 variety. 



The season just past we had what we thought would be an ample supply of plants of this 

 Strawberry. The demand proved so great, however, we did not have half enough to fill our 

 orders — its popularity having grown so rapidly. Introduced by us in 1912 and our claim that 

 it is "the best early Strawberry" has now been abundantly verified by disinterested growers 

 of wide experience and discernment. Dozen, 35c.; 100, $l.()b; 1,000, $6.00. 



BARRYMORE. — A superb variety. The ful to look upon, firm and meaty and are of 

 bluntly conical berries are of great size, beauti- surpassing quality; rich and sugary. The color 



is rich dark crimson (which it holds unchanged 

 after picked), with glossy surface; the flesh is 

 deep red. Valuable alike for the home garden 

 and for market growing. Midseason to late. 

 Dozen, 25c.; 100, 75c.; 1,000, $5.00. 



BRANDYWINE.— An old and popular va- 

 rietj^ of general adaptability. The berries are 

 large, bluntly conical, uniform bright crimson, 

 firm and of good flavor. Plant of vigorous 

 growth and prolific. For good results, it re- 

 quires deep, rich soil and plenty of manure. 

 Midseason. Dozen, 25c.; 100, 75c.; 1,000, $5.00. 



CAMPBELL'S EARLY. — A variety from 

 Cumberland County, N. J., the home of the 

 Gandy, and is claimed to be as valuable as an 

 early variety as is the Gandy as a late one. 

 The berries which are exceptionally uniform in 

 size and shape thruout the season are bluntly 

 conical, firm for an early variety and bright 

 flame crimson in color. Plant a strong robust 

 grower and very prolific. Highly commended 

 at the meeting of our State Horticultural So- 

 ciety and bv a number of growers we have 

 met. Dozen. 35c.: 100. $1.00; 1,000, $6.00.
