EARLY JERSEY GIANT ' 



"T-HE EARLY STRAWBERRY WITHOUT A FAULT" 



A Van Fleet Hybrid, introduced by the Monmouth Nursery. So large and line it out- 

 classes by far all other very early varieties. To be specific, there is no variety known that 

 ripens earlier, and no early variety which approaches it in size. Besides being the largest, it 

 is by far the firmest of early varieties. 



The very large, brilliant scarlet-crimson berries are a delight to the three senses, of sight, 

 smell and taste. With their berries of beautiful color and with large light green calyx or 

 "burr," they are exceedingly showy and attractive; of conical form, with a pointed tip. They 

 have a delightful aroma, and a rich, mild, wild strawberry flavor. Plants are strong growers, 

 with large leaves on very long, pliant stems, a heavy yielder. Blossoms large, open rather 

 late and "perfect." Dozen, $1.25; 100, $7.50. 



EDMUND WILSON, "THE GIANT STRAWBERRY" 

 (Illustration shows half size) 



This is another Van Fleet Hybrid introduced by the Monmouth Nursery. It is such an 

 unusual berry, yet with so many exceptional qualities and delicious flavor, that every home gar- 

 den should have it. Because it is not as firm as some other varieties and is of such a deep 

 maroon color it cannot be recommended as a commercial variety. The plants are so huge 

 and vigorous that they are beyond the belief of those who have not grown them; for upon 

 good soil a height of twelve or fifteen inches with a spread of fully a foot is attained, and 

 they are enormously prolific. The berries, of a very dark color, through the entire berry, 

 are bluntly heart-shaped; and are as large as small apples or oranges. Ripens in mid-season. 

 Dozen, $1.25; 100. $7.50.
