Mr. Frank P. Jones, of Burlington County, Xew Jersey, a Strawberry grower of long and wide 

 experience, on 'May 12th wrota: ''In October last (1912), I received from you some Strawberry plants 

 of Early Jersey Giant and Late Jersey Giant. I picked some ripe berries from the Early Giants on 

 ^londay, May 12th. the same day I picked the first St. Louis. The Early Giant berries were as 

 large as Fairfield Giant and a week earlier. As an early berry, the Early Jersey Giant is in a class 

 hy itself." Mr. Gias. E. Wickes. of Dutchess County.' Xew York, say's, "The Early Jersey Giant 

 is a valuable acquisition to the Strawberry world. It is a full week ahead of anything else I have." 

 Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00; 1.000, $40.00. " 



EDMUND WILSON. Van Fleet No. 13 

 Offered for the first time the summer past. See illustration, page 2 



A strikingly unique variety. The plants resemble potato vines in size and vigor; the berries 

 are as large as small apples. Form globular or bluntly heart shaped, of deep maroon color with 

 smooth surface and quite firm. Perhaps the richest in sugary lusciousness of all — indeed a marvel 

 in size and high quality. L'pon good soil the plants attain a height of twelve to fifteen inches with 

 a spread of fully a foot, and are enormously prolific. Ripens in midseason to late. 



Hon. Edmund Wilson is the Attorney General of Xew Jersey, and will soon be President of the 

 f nited States, or ought to be. He is another Lincoln, and I can think of no other name so appro- 

 priate for this berry. Dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



\/^ LATE JERSEY GIANT. Van Fleet No. 14 



See illustration in color photograph, enclosed in this catalog. Also one in black and white]on page 4 



A very late variety and the largest and best late Strawberry. It undoubtedly has blood of 

 the Gandy in it, but it is superior to that grand old variety in every way — the berries being larger, 

 infinitely superior in quality, even more brilliant in color, more beautiful and produced in far greater 

 numbers. The berries are of immense size — truly mammoth — heart shaped with broad blunt apex 

 and exceptionally uniform in shape and size: surface smooth and glossy, bright flame color, meaty 

 texture ithe berries do not bleed when handled as do those of other varieties) — quality mild, rich 

 and sweet with the flavor and aroma of the wild berry very pronounced. Calyx bright green and 

 unusually large — like the Gandy but larger. I regard it as tlie most beautiful Strawberry I have 

 ever seen. Blossoms appear late, are very large, strongly staminate and are held above the foliage. 

 Plant of large proportions with large rather light green leaves held upright on stiff stems. The ber- 

 ries are produced in clusters of six to a dozen, are usually held from the earth on remarkably large, 

 strong fruit stalks. The yield is enormous — so great in fact, that at the height of the season one 

 can pick several quarts without stepping a yard. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00; 1,000, $40.00.
