STRAWBERRY PLANTS “THE KIND THAT GROW” 7 
A CHESAPEAKE PATCH 
Ewell’s Early— (Perfect) 
This berry was originated by Mr. Ewell of Accomac county, Virginia, and 
has been grown by him for several years. It boomed itseif, as the originator 
was the first to ship berries from that section. ‘then the berry growers began 
to inquire of him why it was he shipped so early. It was then he told of this 
extra early berry. The more they saw of this berry the more anxious they 
became to get some of these plants. Ewell’s Early produces a heavy and pay- 
ing crop. It does not 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, 
with clean heaithy foliage, which is free from all disease. A good plant maker. 
Climax—(Perfect) 
The Climax has been planted 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 so well as some others. It is one of the best second early 
varieties, very productive and has a long season. The plants are of a light 
green color, strong and vigorous, making an upright growth and show no sign 
of rust. It is one of the most popular berries ever put on the market.
