STRAWBERRY PLANTS “THE KIND THAT GROW” 5 
Early Ozark—(Perfect) 
The reputation of Early Ozark as one 
of the earliest varieties ever originated 
increases as the public becomes acquainted 
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. Ithas 
the Excelsior’s earliness with the sweet- 
ness of Aroma, which makes a very unusual 
and valuable 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 comparatively recent origination, it already has 
taken a place in the front ranks of the extra-early varieties. I advise you 
to secure a sufficient number of the plants of the Early Ozark to give it a 
thorough trial. I sold more plants of the Early Ozark last season than of any 
other variety. 
EARLY OZARK’ 
O. I. C.—(Perfect) 
This berry is a high sandy loam Strawberry, but the land must be rich if 
best results are expected. It is a deep-rooted Strawberry, with strong grow- 
ing plant, free from all diseases that I know of. It is large and firm. The 
quality of the O. I. C. is unsurpassed. It is red to the center and has no cavity 
as do several berries of this size. The cap or calyx is most beautiful and re- 
mains green until the very last berries are picked. Would not advise planting 
on low springy land as they would have too much foliage if it were not a dry 
season. These berries do not run down as most berries do, the last picking is 
of a good marketable size. The introducers sold one man 75,000 O. I. C. plants 
last spring, guaranteeing him a yield of 4,000 quarts per acre under ordinary 
field culture. I secured my p!ants last spring of O. Cordrey & Company, the 
originators. It was the best they had out of eighteen of the best known 
market kinds. 
Missionary—(Perfect) 
Originated in the South. Plants vigorous, healthy and strong grower and 
a great plant maker. Plants medium large, berries large and keep® their 
size well through the season. Is early, but not quite as early as Klondyke%or 
Early Ozark. It is an enormous bearer, firm and a good shipper. It is plant- 
ed extensively here for the market.
