EARLY OZARK 

~ EARLY OZARK (Per) 
As an extra early market variety Early Ozark stands very near 
the top. Plants are very large bushy and is exceedingly productive 
of extra large dark red berries that are just as red to the center. 
We have received some of the most remarkable reports from this va- 
riety. Where there is any notion to plant Excelsior, Early Ozark 
should always be used instead. We discontinued the growing of 
Excelsior years ago on this account—it was so much better in every 
way and just as early.

This is a variety that has been thoroughly tested for years, ary 
is the running mate with Ford. Is a female or imperfect variety— 
Big Late differs from all other varieties, both in plants and fruit. 
Plants are tall and robust and each plant is surrounded with the 
large bright red shiny fruit that looks like it had been polished. Is 
firm, and of the very highest aromatic flavor and has won on every 
point of perfection that go to make up the strawberry. We have 
kept Big Late in the pantry for several days without showing a sign 
of deterioration. Whenever placed on the market has always brought 
top-notch prices. Under ordinary culture it will easily yield at the 
rate of one quart per plant. And with high culture will double this 
quantity. Don’t fail to set some of Big Late by the side of Ford 
and you will have a pair of winners. We expect to grow a large 
plot ourselves for fruit the coming year. Season medium late.
