FALL PLANTING SUGGESTIONS FROM 



The Hybrid 

 Strawberries of 

 Dr. Van Fleet 



Dr. Van Fleet was a great 

 man, and patient. His 

 patience as a hybridizer gave 

 us some great new Roses — 

 and some berries. The Van 

 Fleet Hybrid Strawberries have 

 all the characteristics that 

 make berries really great, viz., 

 constitution, prolificacy, ap- 

 pearance, and last, but not 

 least, high quality, plus marvel- 

 ous aroma. They are exceedingly 

 prolfic and exceptionally beautiful, 

 while the plants are vigorous above tne average. 

 EARLY JERSEY GIANT— The earliest 

 fruiting variety, producing the finest, largest 

 berries of any early sort. It is of simply 

 superb flavor, and the berries are not only 

 large but also of beautiful color. 



P^t-^lfown, dozen, $1.25; 100, $8.00. 

 EDMiyND WILSON— Fruits are of great size 

 and most excellent quality. Very dark in color, but 

 if high quality is the first consideration, you'll 

 find it "right there." Exceptionally sturdy grower. 

 Ripens in midseason. Pot-grown, dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00. 

 JOHN H. COOK — In some respects the finest of all the wonderful Van Fleet Hybrids. It is an enor- 

 mous cropper, ripening with the second early varieties. Pot-grown, dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.(K).

The Fall or Everbearing 

 Strawberries 



Their Advantages and Limitations 

 As a class, the Fall bearing varieties do not 

 produce berries averaging so large as the June 

 bearers. (The exceptions to this are Masto- 

 don (see page 11) and Lovett's All Season) 

 (see below). To offset the smaller size, the 

 Everbearers surely yieid berries over a longer 

 season and, where hill culture is practiced , 

 the berries reach quite creditable size. 



Price, except as quoted, pot-grown 

 plants, dozen, $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



LOVETT'S ALL SEASON 



Perfect sturdy, upright plants with thick, 

 leathery foliage that withstands unfavorable 

 weather conditions in an admirable fashion. 

 It starts to yield its large, firm and juicy 

 berries during June. It continues to bear 

 throughout Summer and Fall. In size, the 

 berries compare favorably with those of the 

 largest June bearing sorts, while the quality 

 is the highest under all conditions. 



Price, jjot-grown plants, $4.00 per doz., 

 $25.00 per 100. 



CHAMPION EVERBEARING— Appar- 

 ently a seedling of Supe'b, and like it in many 

 respects, though it is much more productive 

 and the fruit is larger. Dozen, $1.50, 100, 

 $10.00. 



PROGRESSIVE— Bears two inrgc crops 

 a year; one of the most prolific of the fall 

 bearers 



SUPERB— The best known and roost 

 largely planted of the fall-bearing varieties.
