The Van Fleet Hybrid Strawberries (Continued) 



Early Jersey Giant 



"Tfie Early Strawberry Without a Fault" 

 (See illustration of a typical cluster on page 9) 

 So large and fine it outclasses by far all other 

 early varieties. No variety known ripens earlier, 

 and no early variety approaches it in size. Besides 

 being the largest, it is by far the finest of early 

 varieties. The very large, brilliant scarlet-crimson 

 berries are of simply delicious flavor. So rich is 

 their aroma that a fair-sized dish of ripe berries will 

 perfume a room. The beautiful Ijerries are of conical 

 form, with a pointed tip. Plants are strong growers, 

 heavy yielde s. Dozen, $1.25; 100, $8.00.

"The Variety jor Everybody s Garden" 

 (Illustrated above) 

 In some respects this is the finest of all the w onder- 

 ful Van Fleet Hybrids. It is an enormous cropper 

 among the second early varieties. The berries are 

 nearly round (though somewhat irregular in shape), 

 of exquisite quality, blood red in color and very 

 firm. The plants are of strong growth, with large 

 spotless foliage. Valuable alike for the home garden 

 and for market growing. In delicious flavor it 

 closely approaches the wild strawberries. Due to 

 extraordinary demands our supply of this sort is 

 still very low and we suggest early orders to those 

 who would have no other. Dozen, $1.50; 100, 

 $10.00. 



Please order early ! Our supply of stock plants is not extra large and we feel sure that before 

 the end of the planting season, we will again be "sold out." 



The following are worth reading! 



Wallace Cook, H addon Heights, N. J., writes as 

 follows : — 



"A few years ago I purchased a few Jersey Giant 

 strawberry plants from you among other things and 

 I desire to tell you they have been unusually satis- 

 factory. They seem to take kindly to my method 

 of culture on hills where other varieties die off and 

 as for productiveness they can be best described 

 coUoquially as 'Wosvs.' It is a common thing for 

 jieople to count sixty berries or more on a plant and 

 the most of them will mature under average con- 

 ditions." 



Rev. Merritt Miller, Essex Co., N. Y., wrote 

 lately as follows: 



"I tried out the Early Jersey Giant and the 

 Edmund Wilson a few years ago. They are fine 

 berries. I want to put out a bed in August and 

 want to put out potted plants. The Early Jersey 

 Giant is a fine early berry, the earliest in this section 

 where I grew them (Dundee, N. Y.) and the largest 

 early berry I have ever seen. The Edmund Wilson 

 is a fine, rich-flavored berry."
