Strawberry Plants, General Nursery Stock 



Chipman This variety originated in 

 Sussex county, Delaware, by a grower 

 of over thirty years experience and is 

 considered by him the best he ever fruit- 

 ed. It has a perfect blossom and is a 

 •good sort to plant with imperfect kinds. 

 Large, healthy plants, without a sign of 

 rust or any other disease. Fruit is very 

 large, with large green caps. Color is 

 a dark red, bright and glossy. Very 

 firm, good shipper, good quality and re- 

 tains its bright color a long time after 

 being picked. A healthy cropper, ripens 

 early, just a little ahead of the rush while 

 prices are good. It is about a week 

 earlier than the Bubach which variety 

 it is gradually taking the place of. 



Climax The Climax has been plant- 

 ed over a wide range of territory, and 

 has given general satisfaction. It is a 

 berry that no one need hesitate to plant 

 for second-early, although like several 

 other varieties, there are some sections 

 where it will not do as well as some 

 others. Very productive and has a long 

 season. The plants are light green, 

 strong and vigorous, making an upright 

 growth and show no sign of rust. 



Ekey. Originated in Ohio, and one of 

 *^* the very best berries on the 

 market today. Has a strong, perfect 

 blossom, making it an ideal pollenizer. 

 It is a splendid grower, making just 

 enough strong rooted plants for a perfect 

 matted row. There is no sign of rust 

 on them, their dark green foliage being 

 marked in any field where they are grown 

 It is tremendously productive; I believe 

 it is equal in this respect to any I have 

 ever seen, and it has the advantage of 

 ripening the entire crop during the first 

 few days of the season. It is also a 

 splendid shipper and keeper, and will 

 always command the highest prices. 



Excelsior One of the earliest berries 

 grown and one that has stood the test 

 for twenty years. This is proof that it 

 is a good one. Berries are medium size, 

 dark red through and through; good 

 flavor and a good shipper. Makes an 

 abundance of plants. 



Early Market A new and promisingv, 

 berry. I fruited this berry for the first 

 time last year. I invited several grow- 

 ers to see it in fruit and they pronounced 

 it the very best early berry they ever 

 saw and several of them placed orders 

 for some of the plants this spnng. It 

 is a large berry of good color, good pro- 

 ducer and firm. Makes plants freely. 

 I only have a small stock of these plants. 



EARLY OZARK 



Early Ozark. The reputation of 

 •^ Early Ozark as one 



of the earliest varieties ever originated 

 increases as the public becomes acquaint- 

 ed with its merits in that regard. But 

 extra earliness is not its only virtue, for 

 in size and flavor it ranks with varieties 

 of any of the seasons. Early Ozark is 

 a cross of Excelsior and Aroma, and 

 combines the excellent characteristics 

 so pronounced in the case of both of 

 these varieties. It has the Excelsior's 

 earliness with the sweetness of Aroma, 

 which makes a very unusual and valu- 

 able combination. It is unusually strong 

 in pollen, and therefore excellent for 

 mating purposes; very productive and of 

 firm texture, its qualities as a yielder 

 and shipper make it popular with com- 

 mercial growers. Although of compar- 

 atively recent origination, it already has 

 taken a place in the front ranks of the 

 extra-early varieties. 1 advise you to 

 secure a sufficient number of these plants 

 to give them a thorough trial. 



Early Harvest This berry was orig- 

 inated by Louis Hubach. It is a cross 

 between the Excelsior and the Lady 

 Thompson; a good plant maker; resem- 

 bling the Thompson, but its fruit is a 

 better color and much more firm. 



,j Ewell's Early Originated in Virginia. 



"** It is one of the fullest fruiters I ever 

 saw. It doesnot begin to bloom as early as 

 some of the extra-early varieties, but it 

 blooms in a very short time, and every 

 blossom matures a berry that is as early 

 as Excelsior, more uniform in size, a 

 good shipper, color a bright glossy red, 

 a tremendous cropper, plants strong, 

 healthy growers. Give it a trial.
