SALISBURY, MARYLAND 



Early Queen 



Early Ozark 



Fendall 



Early Ozark. This is gaining ground every 

 season and is almost as popular as an extra 

 early variety as the Aroma is a late variety. 

 It seems to do well everywhere, and is really 

 the largest and best shippers of any of the 

 extra early varieties. It is very productive, 

 firm and of good quality and is largely sought 

 for by all commission merchants. 



The growth is distinct, makes plenty of strong 

 plants that stand up in a bushy cluster and 

 makes a beautiful appearance. I planted several 

 acres in the spring of 1913; thought I would 

 have a fine lot of fruit to pick. I lost my guess. 

 I sold every plant excepting a few in my trial 

 beds. Again I have doubled my acreage, but I 

 do not know how many berries I shall be able 

 to pick, as I am already booking orders for 

 plants to be shipped next spring. A letter a 

 few weeks ago from a party in Pennsylvania 

 states that he netted over $800.00 on less than 

 one acre of Early Ozark, or 4,000 plants. Be- 

 cause they are the best in the market in their 

 season it Is easy to make big money with them. 



If you are looking for an early variety, you 

 can't go wrong on the Ozark. 



Early Queen 



Early Queen. Another of my own introduc- 

 tions that is proving satisfactory in every sec- 

 tion and is in great demand. I sold nearly half 

 a million plants of this variety the past season. 

 and then returned several orders unfilled. This 

 season my stock is short and I do not expect 

 to be able to fill half the orders sent me. 



I describe it as follows: Early to mid-season, 

 crimson color; somewhat wedge shaped; colors 

 all over larpre to extra large; flavor fine and 

 very productive; firm enough for a long dis- 

 tance shipper; is a great drought resister; has 

 never failed to make a good showing on the 

 grounds. 



Fendall (Imp.). I will give the introducer's 

 description: 



"This splendid berry originated in our garden 

 at Towson, Baltimore county, Maryland, in the 

 spring of 1905. It is a seedling of the well 

 known William Belt. Its claims to public favor 

 are as follows: First, great vigor of plant 

 growth. Second, large size and delicious flavor. 

 Third, great length of bearing season. Fourth, 

 wonderful productiveness. Fifth, splendid root 

 system. Sixth, beauty and symmetry of form. 

 The plant is strong and vigorous, clean and 

 healthy. The berries are as large, if not I 

 than any other variety grown, and unlike 

 large varieties in that they are of delicious 

 flavor. In length of season it is certain, 

 markable. In 1907 we picked berries from 

 the 25th of May and the last on the 10th of 

 July. With the same care and under like con- 

 ditions, it produced twice as many b< cries as the 

 Senator Dunlap, Corsican. Glen Mary. William 

 Belt, Marshall, and three times as many as the 

 Gandy." 



I have grown the Fendall for six years and 

 endorse the above. It is one of my very best. 



MICHAELS, EARLY iMitehels Early). Has long 

 been considered the best early variety for fam- 

 ily use, and has been planted in thousands of 

 gardens in the last twenty-five years. T 

 is too small to make it an Ideal berry foi 

 meroial purposts. but for an extra early \ 

 for family use it stands KINO. I grow *■ 

 thousand plants each year for my trad< 

 they never foi k for them.
