EARLY WONDER 



This new variety is an earlier, more prolific type of California 

 Wonder. In season it is practically as early as Early Giant. The 

 plants are exceptionally vigorous, of a somewhat spreading or 

 branching habit of growth, and produce an enormous crop of 

 fruit beginning early in the season and continuing over a long 

 period. The fruits are very similar in shape to California Won- 

 der, but are slightly smaller, and have the thick walls and 

 superior quality of California Wonder. A most desirable variety 

 for market and shipping. Season 63 days.
