Extra-Early Strawberries 
CAMPBELL’S EARLY. Ue =? 
new extra- 
early variety of great promise. We have not fruited 
it extensively here, but in New Jersey where it orig- 
inated the growers are very enthusiastic over it. 
One leading grower says: ‘‘Campbell’s Early comes 
in ahead of them all, growing from such large, healthy 
plants with a light green, waxy, upright foliage pro- 
tecting the great crop of large, beautiful, rich red 
berries. They have a beautiful green calyx and come 
second to none in flavor. One of the most wonderful 
features of the Campbell’s Early is that practically 
all grow to full size and no knotty, ill-shaped berries; 
they ripen perfectly all over with no green ends. 
They are fine vigorous growers, have perfect blos- 
soms, and will retain their firmness in carrying to 
distant markets.’ If you want the two best extra- 
early market berries, plant Premier and Campbell’s 
Early and you will have them. It is important that 
you get your order in early, because the best vari- 
eties are the ones you will want and they are likely 
to be sold out first. Price, $6 per 1,000. 
This variety is claimed by the in- 
Charles I. troducer to be the earliest Straw- 
berry grown. We fruited it for the first time last 
year and found it to be quite early, although not 
ahead of Premier, Mitchell’s Early, Early Ozark, and 
other extra-early varieties. The plant is a vigorous 
grower, and a strong pollenizer for pistillate vari- 
eties. Berries are medium in size, regular in form, 
and of good color and quality. Price, $5 per 1,000.

As an extra-early mar- 
EARLY OZARK. ket berry, Early Ozark 
stands very near the top, surpassed only by the 
Premier and possibly the Campbell’s Early. The 
foliage stands up erect; the leaves are thick and 
leathery, with a healthy, vigorous appearance. The 
berries are of large size, good quality, and a beautiful 
dark red in color. Blossoms perfect; in addition to 
being very productive, the plant is a strong pollen- 
izer of imperfect varieties. Price, $6 per 1,000.

Excelsior. ries. Still popular in some places. 
It is a standard for earliness by which most other 
extra-early varieties are compared. The fruit is of 
medium size, dark in color, and firm in texture. The 
flavor is quite tart, but with its high color the berry 
is especially valuable for canning and for syrup. 
The blossoms are perfect. Price, $5 per 1,000. 
Mitchell’s Early. A very vigorous grower, 
which should be kept 
thinned for best results. When fully ripe the berries 
are excellent in quality. 
The blossoms are perfect.

PREMIER 
Without a doubt Premier is king of all the extra- 
early varieties yet introduced. The berries of this 
variety are large in size, beautifully formed, bright, 
rich red through and through. It is delicious in 
flavor and is a splendid shipper. We have fruited
