True-to-Name Strawberry Plants

Fruited with me for the first time the past 

 season, and I found it to be very productive 

 of early medium to large berries. I am well 

 pleased with it, and shall plant much heavier 

 of it the coming season. It is a strong grower, 

 nearly if not quite as early as Excelsior, 

 with larger fruit and more productive. Do 

 not fail to include this in your list. 



Ekey (O. I. C.) 



This is one of the largest plants on the 

 farm; makes a strong, healthy growth during 

 almost any season. It is very pro- 

 ductive of large, long-conical berries, 

 as seen in the illustration. It is a 

 good shipper and a good all-round 

 berry. Last season a new variety 

 was offered me under the name 

 of O. I. C. The description and 

 illustration which were sent me 

 were very convincing. So strong 

 were the good points of this 

 berry proclaimed that I bought 

 a stock of plants and last year 

 offered it to my customers. The 

 description was all right, and 

 fitted the berry admirably — it 

 also fitted the Ekey — and when 

 they came in fruit the past sea- 

 son I found that they were iden- 

 tically the same, and for 

 that reason I am omittirg 

 O. I. C. and offering only 

 the Ekey, as it was first 

 sent out under this name, 

 and I consider it the 

 proper one to use. I think 

 those who try this va- 

 riety will be well pleased 

 with it. 



Ewell's Early. Very productive
