EARLIEST OF ALL RE-SELECTED EXTREME EARLY. (Burpee, 

 1902.) This strain is as much earlier than Earliest of All 

 as that variety is ahead of Extra Early Blanche Ferry.

 high. Christmas Pink is similar. E. 



EARLIEST WHITE. (Burpee, 1906.) This was discovered

 the plants of Mont Blanc planted on the same day showed 

 no sign of bloom. The plant is unusually sturdy and of 

 dwarf and even growth. The best white for greenhouse. E.
