LATE JERSEY GIANT Van Fleet No. 14 



A large and very late variety and the most beautiful strawberry I have ever seen. 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 — heart shaped with broad blunt apex and exceptionally uniform 

 in shape and size; surface smooth and glossy, bright flame-color, meaty texture (the 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. 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 berries are produced in clusters of six to a dozen, and are 

 usually held from the earth on remarkably large, strong fruit stalks. 



Pot-grown plants, dozen, 60c: 100. S3. 50: 1000, S30.00.

 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. Upon good soil the plants
