attain a height of twelve to fifteen inches with a spread of fully a foot and are enormously prolific. Ripens 

 in mid-season. (See illustration in colors). 



Mr. B. B. Cozine, editor of the Shelby News, Shelby ville, Ky. on May 22nd, 1915, wrote: "About the 

 middle of February, 1915, I purchased from you 100 each of Early Jersey Giant and Late Jersey Giant, and 

 50 Edmund Wilson Strawberry plants. Paying no attention to advice, I left about half the blossoms on 

 these plants, and for the past ten days I have been picking the finest berries a person ever enjoyed. While 

 the Jersey Giants showed up nicely, they do not compare with the Wilson. They are now in full bearing, 

 and for size and flavor they beat anything ever seen in this section. Despite the fact that I permitted 

 the plants to bear only three months after planting they are strong, vigorous, and healthy — the Wilson 

 being especially so. They are doing this too, in spite of the fact that our season in this section from last 

 February to the first of May, was dry, cold and unfavorable for growth." And so it goes. 



Pot-grown Plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



JOHN H. COOK, (Van Fleet No. 7) 



First offered for sale in the spring of this year. 



In some properties, this is the finest of all the wonderful Van Fleet Hybrids. It is an enormous cropper 

 ripening with the second early varieties — not so early as Early Jersey Giant, but in advance of numbers 13 

 and 14. The berries are nearly round, though somewhat irregular in shape, of exquisite quality, blood red 

 in color and very firm. The plants are of strong growth with large spotless foliage. Of superlative excellence 

 for the home garden, it is also of untold value to the market grower; indeed, I am convinced in the near 

 future this Strawberry will become one of, if not the most popular commercial varieties in cultivation. 



The above is what I said of the John H. Cook in last years' catalog. It has not developed a defect, 

 which so frequently occurs with new varieties, and I have nothing to "take back" for what I said of it. 

 In fact after another year's experience with and after having grown it quite extensively under field culture, 

 I think better of it than ever before— if that be possible. £ . 



It is truly grand. In delicious flavor it closely approaches the wild strawberries of our boyhood days. 



Pot-grown plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00.

SPECIAL.— For $1.75 I will send 6 each of Edmund Wilson, John H. Cook, Early 

 Jersey Giant, and late Jersey Giant. For $3.25 I will send one dozen of each of them. 

 For $6.00 I will send twenty-five of each of them; for $10.00 I will send fifty of each of

 superlative strawberries from the very first until the very last of the strawberry season 

 — a period of fully a month.
