SUCCESS.— All things considered, this is 

 one of the best early varieties, both for the home 



garden and nearby market. Berries slightly ob- 

 long with blunt end, bright scarlet or flame color, 

 quite large and uniform in size, color and shape. 

 Plants are vigorous, healthy, and very proline. 

 It is an improved form of the famous CHfes. 

 Downing of bygone days. The Success has 

 proved to be a decided success with us. De- 

 sirable for the home garden and very reliable. 

 We have never known it to fail to give heavy 

 pickings of attractive berries of high quality. 

 ' U. S. KING EDWARD.— "The rich man's 

 berry, poor man's berry, lazy man's berry. 



"A strawberry weighing two and a half ounces and 

 which measured three inches by an inch and a half in 

 thickness was recently picked by Charles S. Darling, who 

 has much success in raising fancy strawberries. The berry 

 was of the Early Jersey Giant variety; a solid, perfect 

 berry." — Hartford (Conn.) Current. 



"Your records will indicate that I have purchased 

 from you the Early and Late Jersey Giant and Edmund 

 Wilson Strawberries. They have all proved satisfactory." 

 — F. S. Snyder (Mass.). 



"The Early Jersey Giant has done well with me and 

 I consider it the finest early berry I ever saw." — E. L. 

 Marshall (Mass.). 



"The Early Jersey Giant Strawberry is the best early 

 berry I have." — Amos Mills (Ohio). 



"I wish I had an acre of the John H. Cook. It is a 

 .beauty in size and flavor." — H. F. Woodruff (Fa.). 



"I think the Van Fleet Hybrids the most valuable of 

 any strawberries yet brought to my notice." — /. E. Dubois 

 (N. Y.). 



"We planted a bed of your Hybrids two years ago 

 and the results have been highly satisfactory. Last sum- 

 mer eight of the berries weighed a pound. They are 

 wonderfully luscious, sweet, firm in texture and of mar- 

 velous size." — Mrs. E. O. Wagner (N. Y.). 



and the market man's berry. If one 

 wishes to grow the largest number of 

 quarts to the acre and has to sell at low prices, 

 this is the berry to grow every time. It is not 

 one of those coarse, over-large berries, but of 

 uniform size throughout the season; indeed, 

 the berries look as though they were all run 

 in the same mould. They are a very attrac- 

 tive light scarlet color . . . The Plant is a 

 strong staminate variety and is just loaded 

 with fruit. Quarts, quarts, quarts as thick as 

 cultivated Cranberries. 

 "It is a mortgage lifter." 



WILLIAM BELT.— Of all the Strawber- 

 ries grown in the United States, this vari- 



ety doubtless excels in popularity". The 

 plant is vigorous, though not a rampant 

 grower, succeeds upon almost all soils, 

 invariably yields heavily and the berries 

 are always of large size and high quality. Its 

 flesh is solid and deep crimson in color, while 

 the blossoms are large with abundance of 

 pollen. It begins to ripen quite early and 

 continues until almost the close of the sea- 

 son; the last berries being large, handsome 

 and full-flavored. 



"The John H. Cook is a midseason sort of exquisite 

 quality. Edmund Wilson with the last named, a Van 

 Fleet hybrid, has tall and big stalks and large leaves with 

 very large fruit." — Garden Magazine. 



"John H. Cook I found to be very prolific; it gives the 

 finest and showiest berries of best quality." — L. /, Pope. 



"The plants have just come in good condition." — /. R. 

 W. Morris. Sr. (W. Va.). 



Mr. B. B. Cozine, editor of the Shelby News, Shelby- 

 ville, K}'., says: "About the middle of February, 1915, 

 I purchased from you 100 each of Early Jersey Giant 

 and Late Jersey Giant and 50 Edmund Wilson Strawbern.- 

 plants. Paying no attention to advice, I left about half 

 the blossoms on these plants, and for the past ten days 

 I have been picking the finest berries a person ever en- 

 joyed. While the Jersey Giants showed up nicely, they 

 do not compare with the Wilson. They are now in full 

 bearing, and for size and flavor they beat anything ever 

 seen in this section. Despite the fact that I permitted 

 the plants to bear only three months after planting they 

 are strong, vigorous, and healthy— the Wilson being es- 

 pecially so. They are doing this, too, in spite of the 

 fact that our season in this section from last February to 

 the first of May was dry, cold and unfavorable for growth." 



Mr. John W. Bain, Red Hook. X. Y., says: "The Early 

 Jersey Giant is all that is claimed for it. . . . The Edmund 

 Wilson is all you say in size and vigor of plant, and the 

 size of the fruit. Plenty of the leaves measure a foot 

 across." 



"The Edmund Wilson Strawberry is all that vou claim 

 it to be." — Alvin Tresselt (N. J.). 



"The Edmund Wilson Strawberry does fine here. Tt 

 produces lots of fine, large berries of finest quality." — 

 /. F. Layson (Canada).
