Early Woodrow. Will become a great shipping berry 



Early 



Pinnf Originated in Somerset County, 

 Ulalll. Maryland. Ripens with Excelsior 



and is quite firm and a good shipper. It is highly 

 recommended by buyers in the vicinity where it is 

 grown. 



EARLY JERSEY GIANT. 



Originated by Dr. 



Walter \'an Fleet 

 of Xew Jersey. The berries are large, brilliant, 

 scarlet-crimson, conical with pointed tips; colors all 

 over at once, has a delightful aroma and a delicious, 

 mild, wild Strawberry flavor; has large, green caps, 

 hence exceedingly sho\\'y and attractive. Blossoms 

 large and staminate; plant a strong grower and a 

 heavy yielder. It is one of the largest and best of 

 the ver\- early varieties. A prominent grower of 

 Burlington County, Xew Jersey, says, "I picked 

 my first ripe berries of Early Jersey Giant on Mon- 

 day, May 12, the same day that I picked my first 

 St. Louis; as an early berry it is in a class by itself." 

 We fruited quite a few of the Early Jersey Giant the 

 past season, and were really surprised at its large 

 size and good quality. The strong, healthy plants 

 make it ver\- desirable. Its large size, good quality 

 and attractive appearance will make it vx-ry valuable. 

 It is firm enough to ship well, and the large, healthy, 

 green caps make the berries look exceedingly attract- 

 ive. We conscientiously recommend this as a 

 medium-early, fancy berry that we believe will give 

 satisfaction wherever grown. See illustration in 

 natural colors, page 43. 



VA^^,,^A \l/:l<.An ^^e fruited this varietv the 

 tdmund Wilson, past season for the first 'time, 

 and found it to be of large size, good quality and 

 productive. The foliage and plants are veritable 

 giants among Strawberries. The fruit is large, dark 

 red and moderately firm; 

 ripens midseason. 



Early Woodrow. ?- - 



was called to this variety the 

 past season for the first time, 

 and we immediately procured 

 plants and started to grow it. 

 We have not fruited it, but 

 have seen it growing on the 

 introducer's grounds; the berry 

 is really attractive, large size, 

 high color and exceedingly firm. 

 Where it succeeds, it will no 

 doubt make a great shipping 

 berry. The introducer claims 

 that it brought a premium 

 over all other early berries, 

 and that in an actual test. 



side by side with Klondyke, it kept longer in 

 perfect condition. This is a very strong recom- 

 mendation, and to those who are looking for a large, 

 early, firm berry, that will ship a long distance, 

 we would certainly recommend giving this variety 

 a trial. 



FKFY '^' '• ^'^^ This variety makes very large, 

 *^***^ ' strong plants, that are very productive of 

 large, rich, conical berries. It is a good shipper and 

 a good all-round berr>'. It has been sold by some 

 as O. I. C. The blossoms are perfect and the berry 

 is well represented in our colored illustration on 

 page 34. This is a good, reliable variety that you 

 can depend upon to give you a heav\- crop of fine, 

 large, fancy berries. We believe any of our custom- 

 ers who choose this variety will be pleased with it. 



pYrpUinr "'^^ ^ first-early shipping berr>- the 

 CACeiSlur. Excelsior had the field to itself for 

 a long time and is still popular with some growers. 

 It is the standard for earliness by which all others 

 are compared. Of medium size, vcr>- productive 

 and firm; in flavor it is quite tart, but is highly 

 colored, making it especially valuable for canning 

 and for syrup. 



Fwell's Farlv '^^'^ '^ ^ strong-growing variety 

 Liwcii o Liaiijr. ^Yint comes almost as early as 

 the Excelsior, with larger fruit, but not quite so 

 firm. This is a variety that may be just what you 

 are looking for, and one we would not arlvise you to 

 overlook, if you are interested in an early berry, 

 that is early, of large size and immensely 

 productive, and that will prove a profit- 

 able berry for market. Its large green caps 

 and brilliant color are 

 most attractive.
