THE W ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, You can't afford to overlook Ewell'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 ; We are pleased with the variety, and believe it to be a good one that we can fully recommend.

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.
