The Van Fleet Hybrid Strawberries 



A Distinct Race of Strawberries 



These hybrid Strawberries are most vigorous and 

 stxirdv in plant growth, are excee<Ungly prolific of 

 very large, unusually beautiful berri^, and, what is 

 best of all, excel in high quality, rivaling in aroma 

 and lusciousness the native wild Strawberry. 



They were produced by Dr. Walter Van Fleet, one 

 of the world's greatest hybridizers. They unite the 

 good proj^rties of our best American varieties with 

 those of the finest varieties of Europe. Dr. Van 

 Fleet (who was connected with the Bureau of Plant 

 Industry of the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture at the time of his death), when living at 



Little Silver, created thousands of these hybrids in 

 a thoroughly scientific manner, and after carefully 

 testing them sold the entire lot to us. After the 

 most severe trials, we found Early Jersey Giant, 

 Edmund Wilson and John H. Cook to be not 

 only "head and shoulders " above others, but "in a 

 class by themselves." 



Mrs. C. E, Lennon, Mobridge, S. D., writes as 

 follows : 



"The Van Fleet Strawberry pot-grown plants 

 bought of you in the spring are growing fine and 

 increasing."
