J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, NEW JERSEY 



y EDMUND WILSON (Van Fleet No. 13) 



EDMUND WILSON 



A strikingly unique variety. The plants resemble potato vines in size and vigor, the berries are as large 

 as small apples. Form 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 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 above. Pot-grown plants, dozen $1.25; 

 100, $8.00. 



v LATE JERSEY GIANT (Van Fleet No. 14) 



A very late variety and the largest and best late Strawberry. 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. I regard it as the most beautiful Straw- 

 berry I have ever seen. 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. See illustration, page 5. Pot-grown plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



SPECIAL. For $2.50, 1 will send a dozen each of Early Jersey Giant, Edmund Wilson and 

 Late Jersey Giant. For $8.00 I will send fifty each of them and add 12 John H. Cook or 

 162 in all; enough to supply a family of four with an abundance of these superlative 

 Strawberries from the very first until the very last of the Strawberry season. For $15.00 

 I will send 100 each of Early Jersey Giant, Edmund Wilson and Late Jersey Giant and 

 add 25 John H. Cook (325 plants). All pot grown plants.
