EARLY JERSEY GIANT (Van Fleet No. 10) 



Pre-eminently the finest of the early varieties. As a matter of fact there is no known 

 variety that ripens earlier and no variety yielding laro^e berries that comes anywhere near it 

 in earliness. It is also brilliant scarlet-crimson in color, and exceptionally firm — by far the 

 firmest of all early varieties. 



Berries very large, conical with pointed tip, colors all over at once, has delightful aroma 

 and rich, mild, wild strawberry flavor. Large, light green calyx or "burr," hence exceedingly 

 showy and attractive. Blossoms, large, open, rather late and staminate. Plant a strong grower 

 with large leaves on long pliant stems and a heavy yielder. The largest and best very early 

 variety. Dozen, 35c.; 100, $1.00; 1,000, $7.50. 



HUNDRED DOLLAR. — A very valuable 

 midseason variety. The claim of the introducer 

 that "There is not another variety of Strawberry 

 that will out>'ield this giant or surpass it in 



In flavor it is one of the best, is a perfect table 

 and canning strawberry, and a superior shipper. 



This mo?t valuable Strawberry ripens with the 

 Chesapeake, equals it in size, firmness and_ yield, 

 surpasses it in color and flavor, but, unlike it, 

 succeeds upon almost all soils and under all con- 

 ditions — hence is more valuable. Dozen, 35c. ; 

 100, $1.00; 1,000, $6.00.

LATE JERSEY GIANT.— A large late va- 

 riety and the most beautiful strawberry we have 



quality" has been fulfilled to a large degree at- 

 Monmouth. The plant is a strong, vigorous 

 grower, and among the most prolific. It ripens 

 in midseason, the berries average very large in- 

 deed, the color is bright scarlet and the quaHty 

 mild, sweet and luscious. It is not very firm- 

 not firm enough for long shipment. There are, 

 indeed, few varieties more valuable for nearby 

 markets or for the home garden. It reminds 

 us of the famous Chas. Downing of forty years 

 ago, but is superior to that grand old variety, 

 even in its palmy davs. Dozen, 35c.; 100, $1.00; 

 1.000. $6.00. ' y 



JOE (Joe Johnson, Big Joe).— This much- 

 named and justlv famous variety was produced 

 by Mr. Elias S. Black of Little Silver, N. J., ex- 

 president of the New Jersey State Horticultural 

 Society, who named it Joe, and introduced it 

 over twenty years ago. It is a midseason to 

 late variety, and very productive of very large 

 beautiful berries, with large, bright green calyx. 



ever grown. It undoubtedly has blood of the 

 Gandy in it. The berries 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 foHage of this variety has become somewhat 

 spotted by fungus spores, late in the season. 

 Dozen, 40c.; 100, $1.50; 1,000. $10.00.
