Description of Varieties 



MATTHEWS — (Extra Early). It is a fine variety, being a good grower 

 of plants that produce a large crop of very fine berries of a good size, bright 

 red color and excellent flavor. I would especially recommend this kind for a 

 good market berry that will sell for fancy prices, also a good one for the home 

 garden. If you want an extra early strawberry set out Matthews as the frost 

 does not seem to damage the blooms to any great extent. It is a fancy extra 

 early berry — not a second early. Large quantities of fruit ripen at once and 

 always brings the top price in home and city markets, 



EARLY OZARK — (Extra Early). A good grower of large size plants 

 with a healthy and vigorous appearance. Berries are large size, fine quality 

 and good color. Is recommended as an extra good variety to plant for early 

 market as it will bring real money early in the season. 



KLONDYKE — (Early). The standard early berry in this part of the 

 country. Plants are healthy and vigorous. A good grower of plants that 

 bear a good crop of fancy berries that sell quickly at top market prices. For 

 an all around, up-to-date, strawberry plant Klondyke. Note clipping from one 

 of oar local papers. "One farmer who had especially fine Klondyke berries is 

 said to have received more than $800 from one acre. He received on an aver- 

 age more than $7 a crate for his berries.'" I have a fine stock of Klondyke 

 plants. Let me have your order for them. 



SENATOR DUNIiAP — (Early). A good one for home garden being an
