 half feet apart and the plants one foot apart in the rows, requiring 12,445 plants per acre. 



All the varieties ofTered have perfect flowers and do not need the association of any other 

 variety in order to be fruitful. 



The Van Fleet Hybrid Strawberries 



We regret more than we can express it the fact that our supply of these "best of all" 

 Strawberries is this year even smaller than was our supply during the Spring of 1921. We 

 are, of course, delighted with the genuine sensation they have created throughout all parts 

 of the country, but it is a disappointment to us to be obliged to ofifer both varieties, John 

 H. Cook and Edmund Wilson, in dozen lots onl^-. 



Undoubtedly no other strawberries have ever had such wide and thorough endorsement 

 by horticultural authorities or had so many nice things said about them as have these Hybrids. 

 They were produced by Dr. Walter Van Fleet, the world's greatest hybridizer, and unite the 

 good properties of our best American varieties with the finest varieties of Europe. 



These Hybrid Strawberries are most vigorous and sturdy in plant growth, are exceedingly 

 proline of very large, exquisiteh' beautiful berries, and what is best of all, excel in high 

 quality, rivaling in aroma and lusciousness the native wild Strawberry. 



^ EARLY JERSEY GIANT 



Not only is this the earliest fruiting variety of which we have any knowledge, but it 

 also produces the finest, largest berries of any early sort. Adding to these excellent quali- 

 ties the fact that it is simply of superb flavor and the berries are not only large but of beautiful 

 color, there is indeed nothing further that could be desired. The plants are strong, healthy 

 growers and the blossoms, which are large, open rather late and are "perfect." Dozen, 75c.; 

 100, $2.00; 1,000, $15.00. 



EDMUND WILSON 



This novel sort is to be recommended on account of the great size of its fruit and its 

 most excellent quality. As it is very dark in color (almost maroon), it is not a good variet\' 

 to grow for market; but where quality is the first consideration, it is indeed par excellence. 

 Hard as it may be to believe, it is true, nevertheless, that we have seen many plants of Edmund 

 Wilson twelve inches and more in height, bearing fruit that actually approached in size small 

 apples or oranges. Ripens in midseason. Dozen, $1.00. 



' JOHN H. COOK 



This, another Van Fleet Hybrid, is a second early variety and is valuable principally 

 on account of its being an enormous cropper, and, further, because the fruit is of the same 

 high quality that is characteristic of all the Van Fleet Hybrids. The John H. Cook, we be- 

 lieve, is destined not only to remain extremely popular with private gardeners, but to become 

 equally popular with commercial growers as well. Dozen, $l.rKl. 



SPECIAL OFFER 



In order to encourage the testing of the above three remarkable varieties of Strawberries, 

 we will supply twelve each of the three sorts for $2.50, or twenty-five of each (seventy-five plants 

 in all) for $4.50.
