TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



Early Ozark. A wonderful new early market Strawberry 



EARLY OZARK. Early Ozark was sent out from Missouri by Chas. Schull, and is a cross of 

 ' Aroma and Excelsior. The demand locally for this berry is very strong. Grow- 

 ers on the Peninsula who had Early Ozark in fruiting last spring are very enthusiastic over it, and every- 

 body is wanting plants. I could find dozens of growers who would verify all of the strong claims that have 

 been made for this wonderful new early market Strawberry. I was very fortunate in planting a large plot 

 of these last spring and they are making an excellent showing, being among the thriftiest and most prom- 

 ising. We are receiving good reports from the Ozark from even - section where we have sold plants and it 

 is highly praised by practically even' grower who has fruited it. The growth of the Early Ozark is a 

 distinct luxuriant appearance entirely its own. The foliage stands up erect. The leaves are thick and 

 leathery, of a distinct green, which makes it appear as though it had been varnished. The berries are 

 very firm, averaging large size, and early; in fact, it is claimed to be the largest very early berry yet pro- 

 duced, which means a great deal to the commercial grower. I have a very fine stock of plants this season 

 and shall be pleased to book orders from all who want to grow this money-making variety. 



Gandy. Too well known to require any extended 

 description. It is the standard late variety by 

 which all other late berries the country over are 

 compared. Probably no higher compliment could 

 be paid the variety than this. It should be planted 

 in black swamp land, if possible, othenvise in clay 

 land of a springy nature; never on dry, sandy 

 land. We always have a big demand for this va- 

 riety, and for that reason have prepared a large 

 stock of it. At this time it is without doubt one of 

 the most largely planted of the late varieties. 

 Blossoms perfect. 



Gill. An early variety, uniform in shape, nearly 

 round and above the average of the early va- 

 rieties in size. It colors all over and becomes quite 

 deep red when fully ripe. The flesh is light red and 

 has a pleasing flavor. It makes larger and stronger 

 plants than most early varieties, entirely free from 

 disease. No rust spots have appeared on it on my 

 grounds. Well worthy of a trial. 



Glen Mary. Glen Mary has now become too 

 well known to need a lengthy description. Orig- 

 inated in West Chester, Pa., and introduced by 

 myself in 1906, it has become one of the leading 

 standard varieties through New England, the 

 Middle West and the Northwest. I doubt if there 

 is a more popular berry throughout this vast 

 region than the Glen Mary. It has no particular 



choice of soils and does not require petting. The 

 roots are long and well developed, providing plenty 

 of moisture during a drought. The foliage is large, 

 upright in growth, dark green in color. The Glen 

 Man' is only semi-staminate. but as its blossoms 

 earn- enough pollen to fruit its own berries it is 

 listed as a staminate variety, but I would not 

 recommend it to plant with pistillate varieties as 

 a pollenizer. The berries are big, dark red beauties, 

 with prominent seeds of bright yellow; the meat 

 is rich and juicy, and crimson in color. They are 

 of such high flavor that when once eaten more are 

 wanted. As a good, firm shipper it is very popular; 

 for fancy local market there are few, if any, better, 

 and for this reason it is popular with both the large 

 and the small grower. One customer from Connecti- 

 cut says: "I have found no plant to come up with 

 Glen Mary, taking all sides of the question into 

 consideration." Another customer reports: "I 

 have grown Glen Man' for several years and find 

 it my most profitable variety." Another customer 

 from New Jersey writes: "It is the only variety 

 with which I have made a success."
