You can't afford to overlook E well's Early 



EARLY JERSEY GIANT. Originated by Dr. 

 Walter Van Fleet, of New Jersey. The berries are 

 large, brilliant scarlet-crimson, conical, with pointed 

 tips, colors all over at once; has a delightful 

 aroma and a rich, mild, wild Strawberry flavor; 

 has large green caps, hence exceedingly showy and 

 attractive; blossoms large and stami- 

 nate; plant a strong grower and a 

 heavy yielder. It is one of the largest 

 and best of the very early varieties. 

 A prominent Burlington County, New 

 Jersey, grower says: "I picked my 

 first ripe berries of the Early Jersey 

 Giant on Monday, May 12, the 

 same day I picked my first St. 

 Louis; as an early berry it is in a 

 class by itself." We are pleased 

 with the variety, and 

 believe it to be a good 

 one that we can fully 

 recommend. 



EDMUND WIL- 

 SON. This variety 

 has not yet 

 fruited here, but 

 appears to be 

 unusually prom- 

 ising. The foli- 

 age and plants 

 are veritable 

 giants among 

 Strawberries. 

 The fruit is said 

 to be exceedingly 

 large, dark red, 

 with firm tex- 

 ture. Ripens in 

 midseason. 



ENORMOUS. A medium to late variety, 

 with pistillate blossoms. The berries are broad 

 and wedge-shaped, with crimson surface and 

 dark red seeds; the flavor is good and, as the 

 name suggests, it is of large size and firm enough 

 to ship. 



EKEY (O. I. C). This variety makes very 

 large, strong plants that are productive of large, 

 rich, conical berries; it is a good shipper and a 

 good all-round berry. It has been sold by some 

 in Delaware as O. I. C. It has perfect blossoms, 

 and the berry is well represented in the illus- 

 tration on page 5. A good standard sort, especi- 

 ally recommended for home use or near market. 

 EXCELSIOR. The standard for earliness by 

 which all others are compared; of medium size, 

 very productive and firm. It is also highly col- 

 ored, making it exceptionally valuable for canning 

 and for syrup. As a first-early shipping berry, it 

 had, for a long time, the field to itself and is still 

 popular with many growers. 



EWELL'S EARLY. This is a strong-growing 

 variety, nearly as early as Excelsior, with large 

 fruit. A variety you cannot afford to overlook. 

 Notice the size and shape of berries as shown in 

 the illustration. 



FAIRFIELD. A good, reliable, early market 

 and home-garden berry of fair quality and firm 

 enough to ship to distant markets. The plants 

 are strong growers with healthy foliage, much 

 resembling the Haverland. A reliable variety to 

 plant for early crops. 



FENDALL. This variety produces an abun- 

 dance of berries which are large and fine-flavored; 

 described by some as "perfectly beautiful." 

 Rich in color, smooth and glossy, 

 with long stems and large caps. 

 We have fruited the Kendall 

 several times, and find it 

 strong-growing, with luxuri- 

 ant, light green foliage. If 

 you want fancy berries and 

 lots of 

 them, we 

 consider it 

 a variety 

 that will 

 give great 

 satis fac- 

 tion.
