TWO OTHER VAN FLEET HYBRIDS 



(See special offer bottom of page 2) 

 EDMUND WILSON— (See illustration 

 opposite) 



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 j. it is not a good variety 

 to grow for market: but where quality is the 

 hrst consideration, it is indeed par excellence. 

 Hard as it may be to believe, it is true, never- 

 theless, that we have seen many plants of Ed- 

 mund 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 ^■an Fleet Hybrids. The John H. Cook, we 

 believe, is destined not only to remain extremelj' popu- 

 lar with private gardeners, but to become equally 

 popular w^ith commercial growers. Dozen, $1.00. 



Standard Varieties of Strawberries 



BARRYMORE.— Popular throughout the New Eng- 

 land States and a tine midseason to late variety for 

 growing where soil and climatic conditions are inclined 

 to be cool. Its beautiful large firm berries are bluntly 

 conical and of superb quality. Dozen, 50c.; IOC), $1.50. 



BRANDYWINE.— The plants produce vast quanti- 

 ties of uniformly large, bright crimson berries that are 

 not only firm enough for shipment, but of good qual- 

 ity as well. Demands deep rich soil. Midseason. 

 Dozen, 50c.: 100, $1.50. 



BUSHEL BASKET— (Illustrated below) 



This veritable giant is creating a genuine sensation 

 throughout the Xew England States. We realized it 

 must have unusual merit when it was awarded the 

 Barry Gold Aledal. It is an immense plant, fruiting 

 in midseason, and the fruit, though unusually large, is 

 of high quality. Dozen, 75c.; 100, $2.50. 



GANDY. — Introduced by us over thirty years ago and 

 still grown commercially to a greater extent than probably 

 any other sort. The texture is of the firmest, and the color 

 a bright flame. Although the berries are large to very 

 large, the flavor is very acid and not of the highest quality. 

 It is late to very late in ripening. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.50. 



CHESAPEAKE— (See illustration) 



With high culture and especially when upon good 

 loamy soil, this berry is well-nigh perfect. The ber- 

 ries are uniform in size and shape, the prevailing 

 form being heart-shaped; the color is bright crimson and 

 the flesh firm and of excellent qualitv. Ripens from mid- 

 season to late. Dozen, 65c.; 100, $175; 1,000, $12.00. 



GLEN MARY. — An old variety that still retains its 

 popularity, especially throughout the Middle and Xew Eng- 

 land States, where it does best. Because of its superb 

 quality and tremendous productivity it is. without doubt, 

 one of the most satisfactory varieties to grow. Should be 

 planted near some good pollenizer such as Toe. Dozen, 

 50c.: 100, $1.50. 



HUNDRED DOLLAR.— A very valuable midseason 

 variety. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower and among 

 the most prolific. It ripens in midseason: the berries, which 

 are hardly firm enough for distant shipment, average very 

 large indeed: the color is bright scarlet and the quality 



mild, sweet and luscious. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.50. BUSHEL BASKET
