Early Woodrow. Will become a great shipping berry 
Fnrlv p? a Originated in Somerset County, 
fLariy Ola III. 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. 
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 delicious, 
mild, wild Strawberry flavor; has large, green caps, 
hence exceedingly showy and attractive. Blossoms 
large and staminate; plant a strong grower and a 
heavy yielder. It is one of the largest and best of 
the very early varieties. A prominent grower of 
Burlington County, New 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 very desirable. Its large size, good quality 
and attractive appearance will make it very 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. 
We fruited this variety the 
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. 
Edmund Wilson. 
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 whq are looking for a large, 
early, firm berry, that will ship a long distance, 
we would certainly recommend giving this variety 
a trial. 
FKFY (O* 1 * C.). This variety makes very large, 
Cilvr< I stron g plants, that are very productive of 
large, rich, conical berries. It is a good shipper and 
a good all-round berry. 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 heavy crop of fine, 
large, fancy berries. We believe any of our custom¬ 
ers who choose this variety will be pleased with it. 
FvraUinr As a firs t-early shipping berry the 
EiAicidiui. 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, very productive 
and firm; in flavor it is quite tart, but is highly 
colored, making it especially valuable for canning 
and for syrup. 
FwjfcH’ft Farlv This is a strong-growing variety 
Liwcii o Liaiiy. 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 advise 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.
