A BARKLEY PLANT IN FRUIT MAY 20, 1912. 



EARLY OZARK (Per) — Extra early. The 

 Early Ozark is one of our very best extra 

 early varieties and would have been 

 grown more extensively today had there 

 not been so many different sorts and va- 

 rieties sent out for the Ozark in the be- 

 ginning. In 1909 I bought Early Ozark 

 plants from four different parties and 

 when I fruited them I found I had four 

 different varieties of berries. Therefore 

 I did not know if I had the Ozark or not

out of the four, as it was a new one to 

 me. And I find that I was not the only 

 one served in that way. In 1910 I suc- 

 ceeded in getting a stock of the genuine, 

 and have now got them growing in my 

 breeding beds in first-class style, and will 

 be glad to furnish anyone wishing the 

 true Early Ozark. The Ozark is extra 

 early, round, twice as large as Excelsior, 

 more prolific and an all round good berry. 



BALTI3IORE (Per) — Midseason to late. 

 This new berry gives promise of a valu- 

 able addition to the already long list of 

 strawberries. The Baltimore has prob- 

 ably the greatest history of any straw- 

 berry ever grown in this country. It was 

 brought from Germany over forty-five 

 years ago and up to three years ago has 

 been in prison walls. Has never been al- 

 lowed to grow on any other soil except- 

 ing one lone German garden. The walls 

 of this garden were like that of a state 

 prison and but few people were ever al- 

 lowed to see it growing there. The larg- 

 est hotels of Philadelphia have been 

 served with this berry all this time, and 

 liave always paid, so 1 am informed, about 

 three times what berries were selling on 

 the street for. It has the handsomest ap-

 Gentlemen: — Perry plants arrived O. K. 

 and in fine condition. They are the nicest 

 P^ants 1 have ever received from anyone. 

 They ran short just a little. There were 

 20,520 plants. As soon as the weather will 

 permit you may ship the balance of my 

 order. Yours respectfully.
