Early Ozark. Almost everybody wants plants after seeing the fruit of this sort 



Early Ozark 



This berry has made a great record since it was first put on the market. It is said to be a cross seedling 

 of Excelsior and Aroma, and was originated in Missouri. Growers on the peninsula are very enthusiastic 

 about it, and we are receiving good reports from many sections. It is the best large, early, firm, market 

 berry that we know of. Where it has been seen in fruit, almost everybody wants plants. The growth is 

 distinctly luxurious and thrifty. The foliage stands up erect, and is distinct from that of any other variety. 

 The leaves are thick and leathery, with a healthy, vigorous appearance, looking as though they had been 

 varnished. The berries average large in size, ripen early, and are very firm, which means a great deal to 

 commercial growers. Judging by the experience of some growers with whom I am acquainted, I would 

 advise that if you wish to pay off that little mortgage on your home, or add to your bank account, plant an 

 acre or two of Early Ozark Strawberries for the early market; it has been a great help in that direction to 

 some growers, and I have no doubt you will find it of very great assistance in your case. My stock of plants 

 of the Early Ozark this season is very fine, and I am sure you will be pleased with the plants I will send you. 



Gold Dollar 



I fruited this wonderful new berry for the first time in 1912, and was highly pleased with the immense 

 crop of fine, uniform, luscious berries. It is an especially healthy-growing variety, with perfect blossoms, 

 every one of which comes to maturity. The fruit is above medium size, very uniform and highly colored. 

 I do not think it is necessary to say more in behalf of this variety, but I do feel very confident that those 

 who plant it will be pleased with the results. 



ABINGTON. I have been growingthisvariety for several years, and it has always been good; it seems 

 that it is improving with age. Blossoms are perfect, a vigorous grower and quite productive; large, firm 

 berries, well colored and good enough for the home table, and firm enough to ship. 



AMANDA. A berry 

 that should bring top 

 prices on any fancy market 

 for large berries. I have 

 now fruited this twice and 

 am well pleased with its 

 appearance in every way. 

 I do not hesitate to rec- 

 ommend it as one of the 

 best of the large-fruited 

 varieties. In plant-growth 

 it is strong, vigorous and 

 healthy, making large 

 plants of upright growth; 

 berries are large to very 

 large, beautifully colored 

 and firm; blossoms per- 

 fect. It is a dandy, and 

 every grower who wishes 

 to grow good -quality 

 berries of the largest size 

 should plant Amanda for 

 Gold Dollar. Those who plant this wUl be pleased either home or market.
