JOHN H. COOK (Van Fleet No. 7). 



for two years, and values it so highly he has 

 decided to discard all other varieties and 

 grow it only in the future. It is truly grand. 

 In delicious flavor it closely approaches the 

 wild strawberries of our boyhood.

LATE JERSEY GIANT 



"In some properties, this is the finest of all 

 the wonderful Van Fleet Hybrids. It is an 

 enormous cropper, ripening with the second 

 early varieties — not so early as Early Jersey 

 Giant, but in advance of numbers 13 and 14. 

 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. Of 

 superlative excellence for the home garden, it 

 is also of untold value to the market grower; 

 indeed, I am convinced, in the near future 

 this strawberry will become one of, if not the 

 most popular commercial variety in cultiva- 

 tion." 



The above is what was said of the John H. 

 Cook last year. It has not developed a de- 

 fect, which is unusual with new varieties and 

 we have nothing to "take back" from what we 

 said of it. In fact, after another 3'ear's ex- 

 perience with and after having grown it quite 

 extensively under field culture, we think better 

 of it than ever before. A neighbor who is a 

 commercial grower of wide experience told us 

 he had tested the John H. Cook thoroughly 



A large late variety- and the most beautiful 

 strawberry we have ever grown. It undoubt- 

 edly has blood of the Gandy in it. The ber- 

 ries are heart shaped with broad, blunt apex 

 and exceptionally uniform in shape and size; 

 surface smooth and glossy, bright flame color; 

 quality mild, rich and sweet. 



Calyx bright green and unusually large, like 

 the Gandy. 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. 



For the past two summers, we regret to 

 state, the foliage of this variety has become 

 somewhat spotted by fungus spores, late in 

 the season. 



Pot-grown plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $6.00. 



SPECIAL. — For $1.75 we will send six each of Early Jersey Giant, Edmund Wilson, 

 John H, Cook and Late Jersey Giant. For $3.25 we will send one dozen of each of 

 them. For $6.00 we will send twenty-five of each of them. For $10.00 we will send 

 fifty of each of them (200 plants), enough to supply a family of four with an abundance 

 of these superlative strawberries from the very first until the very last of the straw- 

 berry season — a period of fully a month. 



For $18.00 we will send 100 each of the four varieties, all pot-grown plants. 



"I bought 500 Early Jersey Giant from you last spring. 

 They are beginning to ripen now and I never saw as fine 

 berries in my life. 



"I also got 500 Big Joe and they are loaded with ber- 

 ries but have not commenced to turn yet." — Mrs. Emma 

 West (West Va.). 



"The pot-grown strawberry plants I got from you came 

 through this long distance in good condition and all g^ew 

 and bore this spring. I am pleased with the Van Fleets 

 and am going i.o plant them commercially." — Sherman U. 

 Brozvers (Nebraska). 



"Out of the thirty varieties of strawberries, your Van 

 Fleets have proved the best. I have recommended them 

 to more than one." — Milford E. Bliss (Mass.). 



"We are fruiting Edmund Wilson, Early Jersey Giant 

 and Tohn H. Cook this season and think well of all of 

 them."— E. F. Coe (Conn.). 



"In the spring of 1915 I bought from you 100 plants 

 of the Jersey Giant Strawberries. At blossoming time 

 each clump was a mass of flowers, but the incessant rains 

 interfered with the fruiting. As it was, we had berries 

 galore. I shall always wonder what they would have 

 been under good weather conditions." — Harry A. Wood 

 (Mass.). 



"Three years ago I bought a number of Early and Late 

 Jersey Giant Strawberries. These, I can recommend; 

 particularly the Early Jersey Giant." — /. H. Dobbins 

 (X. J.). 



"The Early Jersey Giant is the finest early variety I 

 have ever grown. It was the best early of over fifty 

 varieties, in size, in quality and in earliness." — J. C. 

 Grossman (Ind.).
