TRUE-TO-NAME SMALL FRUIT PLANTS 



Short Descriptions of Leading Standard Varieties 



EARLY OZARK (per) 



Grows with popularity every sf-ason — North, South, East 



and West — seems to be no failures with it. One of the very 



earliest to ripen, and among the largest berries to ripen in 



any season, leading all others as an extra early variety. Fruit 



rich in flavor, colored through and through, rich dark 



red, firm and one of the most productive sorts. We 



recommend this variety thousands of times during a 



season, and have never received a complaint in more 



than ten years we have been growing it. Plants stand 



up like bushes; may be grown in any way — either hills, 



matted rows, or hedge rows, with equal success. 



CAMPBELL'S EARLY (per) 



This variety comes to us highly recommended as an 

 extra early variety. We have only gro\^Ti it two sea- 

 sons and can say it has proved as follows on our 

 grounds: Moderate plant maker, plants strong, and 

 shov/ no blemish or rust. Fruit ripens ver\' early, is 

 medium to large, of good quality, color bright red, and flavor 

 mild, firm enough for a good commercial berry. We have a 

 good stock of plants from originators. 



EARLY OZARK 



EARLY JERSEY GL\NT (per) 



This is proving a popular extra early variety from 

 Maryland — North and West. Is a hardy grower, strong 

 upright plants, fruit crimson in color, large to extra 

 large in size, conical in shape, colors evenly, and is of 

 extra good eating quality; firm enough for a shipping 

 beriy. Heavy green calyx makes it a very attractive 

 berry when packed ready to market, and always brings 

 top of market. We are growing it on our farms for 

 fruit, as it is a big money maker; suited for any cul- 

 ture, and on most any soil. Will grow 10,000 quarts 

 per acre if given proper attention. Do not forget to 

 try a few of these plants this season. 



• y MATTHEWS (per) 



We are somewhat disappointed with the behavior 

 of the Matthews the past season. We had plenty of 

 fruit which was good colored, but seemed to lack qual- 

 ity other ways. The Matthew^s ripens very early and 

 is large in size, of a Klandyke appearance, but does 

 not have the quality of the Klondyke. Fruits very 

 heavy and made big money for our growers 

 who had it to ship. We might have expected 

 too much of it why our disappointment. No 

 customer has made any complaint to us and 

 we have sold plants for two seasons. We re- 

 commend it onlv as a trial. 



EARLY JERSEY GL\NT 



/ UNCLE SAM (per) 



Introduced by us several years ago, and in 

 many sections they ask for no other early va- 

 riety. Is one of the earliest varieties to bloom 

 and is a persistent bloomer, and if first blos- 

 soms are killed by frost will still produce a 

 big crop. Plants upright, strong and healthy. 

 Fruit dark red through and through. Rich, 

 juicy flavor, fine sub acid flavor. Yields heav- 

 ily on good land. Size large to very large. 

 Firm enough for good shipper. Is said to be 

 proving one of Florida's best money makers 

 where grown there. Begins to ripen around 

 Thanksgiving. We have picked one quart per 

 hill in hill cutlture. 



^ MISSIONARY (Townsend's) 



Needs no description — is probably the best 



known berry in the South, and also best known 

 on the markets. No berry will sell for more 

 money on the Northern markets than Mission- 

 ary in its season. Begins to ripen in Florida 

 before Christmas and continues until late in 

 Spring. Large, firm, and of good quality, mod- 

 erately productive when grown in hills as is 

 usually practiced in the South. Is considered 

 a strictly fancy berry. While the Missionary 

 is better known in the South, especially Flori- 

 da, we have customers that we have been fur- 

 nishing in the New England states for ten 

 years that will have nothing else, so it seems 

 the Missionary is at home anywhere. We have 

 tested and discorded hundreds of variety since 

 the Missionary was introduced by us in 1906. 

 We expect to continue doing the same for 

 many years before we find another Missionar>-. 

 Missionary is one of the veiy ^asy varieties to 

 grow; requires no special soil, and will produce 

 wonderful crops under ordinary culture. We 

 hope to have enough plants to serve our cus- 

 tomers this season.
