—The Best Early. 
Your First Cost of Plants 
is the last! 
The Second and Third 
crop as good as the 
first! 
This variety was originated by George W. Neet 
of Dana, Indiana. Is a seedling of the old Haver' 
land and Premier; closely resembles the Premier, 
but is much hardier, larger, better flavored and in' 
variably produces more fruit, and has a better fruit' 
ing stem. It also produces a fine crop the second 
and third year, which is just as good as the first 
crop—a trait not found in any other variety we 
have grown; you do not have to replace 
your planting every other year as your 
patch gets better from year to year, 
whereas most varieties are not picked 
more than one to two years, after which 
the patch is plowed under. 
Berries are extra large, having produced fruit 
that averages 2% inches long by l 3 /} inches in 
diameter, and it retains its large size throughout 
the picking season—the last berries being as large 
as the first. Fruit is dark, glossy red, not quite as 
dark as Premier, but glossier; red clear through 
and no white tips. Berries are uniform in shape, 
no miss'shaped fruit in this variety. They are the 
most perfect heart'shaped berries we have ever 
seen. Very sweet flavor, much sweeter than Pre' 
mier. Ripens early. Not soft but very firm and 
a good shipper. 
Very hardy. Makes a vigorous plant growth on 
most any soil. Very disease-resistant; in the seven 
years of testing this variety, we absolutely have 
not found a disease of any kind. 
The originator of the Neet strawberry sent us 
plants for testing seven years ago; we have tested 
it over this period and are thoroughly convinced 
that it is the most outstanding Strawberry ever 
introduced. 
All fruit growers have been looking for a real good late berry for years. Here’s 
good news! We have found it at last. As good as Premier, Dorsett, Fairfax, or all 
early and midseason leading varieties, and so late that it doesn’t begin to blossom 
until you are picking the other kinds; your main crop will be well towards the 
last of June and continues through the first week of July. Think of it, a berry 
extending your fruiting season of strawberries over a much longer period— 
in fact, there is no waiting between Strawberries and Raspberries. 
Late Giant originated in New Concord, Ohio, and is altogether 
different than other so'called late varieties. Berries are dark red all 
the way through, are honeysweet and have the flavor of a wild 
Strawberry. All around berry for small gardens, road'Stands, or 
market purposes. 
Every fruit grower should set at least a substantial portion of his plant' 
ing to this new late kind because of the following reasons: (1) Is Giant in 
size; (2) Ripens late to real late; (3) Will make a good fruiting row on 
any soil; (4) Berry is firm and hard, of extra good quality, and (5) Heavy 
cropper—300 to 500 crates per acre. ORDER EARLY—OUR SUPPLY
