BIG PROFITS 
If you want big strawberries, then you 
want Jerseybelle. For several years these 
exceptionally large, beautiful berries have 
been a sensation in the Hammonton, New 
Jersey area where they are grown for the 
New York market. Jerseybelle has con- 
sistently brought higher prices than any 
other variety and has rapidly become the 
leading berry in that area. Recently virus- 
free stock of Jerseybelle became available, 
and it has resulted in a tremendous im- 
provement in this variety. Now Jerseybelle 
has excellent plant vigor and will give fine 
results in most soils. 
Berries of Jerseybelle have consistently 
been the largest of any variety we have 
ever seen, and they have a beautiful glossy 
color that gives a waxed appearance. The 
cap is large and the seeds are bright yellow, 
resulting in a berry of unusual beauty. 
The flesh is not nearly as juicy as in some 
varieties, thus Jerseybelle will hold its appear- 
ance quite well. The flavor is not as good as for some berries but is satisfactory. 
quite late, about a week after Sparkle, which greatly helps to prolong the picking season. 
Jerseybelle may show some leaf troubles but generally this is not a serious problem. In northern soils, 
it is best not to plant Jerseybelle in land recently grown to tomatoes, potatoes, or other strawberries. 
But if you are looking for that extra big berry that will make real profits, you will make a planting of
