VAN FLEET HYBRIDS 



Three Super Selected Strawberries 



THE three Strawberries offered on this page and the following are 

 developments of the late Dr. Van Fleet, whose reraarkable achieve- 

 ments in hybridizing are known throughout the world. During his life- 

 time of experimental work he produced thousands of new Hybrid Straw- 

 berries, using not only the better American varieties but also the finest 

 European sorts for parent plants. In these three Strawberries we offer 

 all of the finest characteristics of Strawberries that have been developed 

 to the greatest extent. Their strong constitution, prolificacy, appear- 

 ance, exceptional high quality and marvelous aroma place these berries 

 in the forefront of present day Strawberry varieties.

THE EARLY STRAWBERRY WITHOUT A FAULT 



Pot-grown Plants, ^1.25 per dozen; 

 ^8.00 per 100. 



One of the famous Van Fleet hybrids, and a berry 

 which we have featured satisfactorily for many years. 

 It is the earliest variety to produce large fruit and 

 by far the best extra early variety of all. In color it 

 is a glossy, scarlet crimson, and in flavor it is among 

 the very finest. In fact, since it is so productive, at- 

 tractive, delicious, firm and healthy, we cannot but 

 present it under its familiar name, "the early straw- 

 berry without a fault."

THE VARIETY FOR EVERYBODY'S GARDEN 

 Pot-grown Plants, ^1.50 per dozen; 

 ^10.00 per 100. 



In some properties this is the finest of all the won- 

 derful Van Fleet hybrids. It is an enormous crop- 

 per, ripening with the second early varieties. The 

 berries are of exquisite quality, blood red in color 

 and very firm.

THE GIANT STRAWBERRY 

 Pot-grown Plants, ^1.50 per dozen; 

 ^10.00 per 100. 



Another Van Fleet success, ripening in mid-sea- 

 son. We believe this to be the largest Strawberry 

 in existence. The blunt, heart-shaped berries are of 

 very dark color throughout, extremelv juicy and of 

 perfect flavor. This va- 

 riety is a very strong 

 grower, many plants ex- 

 ceeding twelve inches in 

 height. It is a 

 "home garden" 

 berry, since its 

 juiciness makes 

 it unsafe for 

 long shipments, 

 but in your own 

 garden it will 

 be unsurpassed 

 and very likely 

 unequaled.
