LATE JERSEY GIANT LUPTON.— This very valuable late variety 

 originated in the southern part of New Jersey, 



A large late variety and the most beautiful 

 Strawberry we have ever grown. It undoubt- 

 edly has blood of the Gandy in it. The berries 

 are heart shaped with broad, blunt apex and 

 exceptionally uniform in shape and size; sur- 

 face smooth and glossy, bright flame color; 

 quality mild, rich and sweet. Calyx bright 

 green and unusually large, like the Gandy, but 

 larger. Blossoms appear late, are very large, 

 strongly staminate and are held above the 

 foliage. The berries are produced in clusters 

 of six to a dozen, and are usually held from 

 the earth on remarkably large, strong fruit 

 stalks. 



The phenomenal rainy weather of last Sum- 

 mer was very trying to Strawberry plants and 

 candor compels us to state the foliage of this 

 variety became somewhat spotted late in the 

 season by fungus spores. 



"Your Van Fleet Strawberries are certainly 

 great, so I send for the John H. Cook. * * * 

 This year I had the finest Strawberries I have 

 ever grown; although I gave them very ordi- 

 nary culture." — T. A. Havemeyer (N.Y.) 



"The Jersey Giant Strawberries are all that 

 could be asked. The Early and Late both were 

 the finest of the six varieties that I fruited this 

 past season. In flavor, they outclassed all 

 others, and brought top prices in our markets." 

 — B. B. Earnshaw (D.C.) 



"In regard to the Strawberry plants pur- 

 chased from you, the Early and- Late Jersey 

 Giants (I lost the Edmund Wilson by careless- 

 ness) I cannot find words to praise sufficient. 

 The early Jersey Giant has been bearing for 

 five weeks and some plants are still in bloom." 

 — /. P. Clark (N.C.) 



"The Early Jersey Giant, Late Jersey Giant 

 and Edmund Wilson Strawberries have done 

 fine with me. Old Strawberry growers have 

 told me that they have never before seen such 

 fine looking fruit or berries of such high 

 flavor." — Chas. S. Darling (Conn.)

PEARL.— The last of all to ripen and all 

 things considered, the best very late variety. 

 The berries are of colossal size, somewhat ir- 

 regular in form with uneven surface, light scar- 

 let in color and of superior quality; but not 

 very firm. Plant of strong robust habit and 

 prolific. Unfortunately we have but a small 

 supply of plants of it. Dozen, 35c.; 100, $1.00. 



is superior to it. It is somewhat like the Gandy 

 in every way except that it is far more prolific, 

 being, in fact, a very heavy yielder and ripens 

 about five or six days earlier. Berries large, 

 bluntly conical, bright flame color, glossy and 

 retain their color after picked; has a large dou- 

 ble dark green calyx or "burr"; very showy 

 and very firm. It is well nigh ideal in growth 

 of plant and vigor. A Strawberry grower of 

 wide experience, in speaking of it, said: "If 

 this berry has a fault, no man has yet found 

 out what it is." Highly recommended by the 

 New Jersey State Horticultural Society as rap- 

 idly supplanting the Gandy wherever known. 

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



MARSHALL (Henry, New York, Etc.)— An 



old variety highly esteemed by many, especial- 

 ly in the New England states and New York. 

 It is a large, beautiful berry of rich quality and 

 meaty texture, but one that is not productive 

 except upon fertile soil and under high culture. 

 Plant of vigorous growth with clean, healthy 

 foliage. Ripens in midseason. Dozen, 25c.; 

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