EARLY OZARK STRAWBERRIES-EARLIEST OF ALL 
THE introduction to the strawberry world of Early Ozark was of great importance because it gave to the grower a variety 
that ripens its, fruit earlier than any other variety, and berries of a size and quality superior to those produced by any extra- 
early variety previously Itnown. It is one of the most productive varieties as well, and also a good shipper. In color the berries 
are beautiful, and their uniformity in shape is indicated in the photo-enKraving above. The berries shown here are a trifle over 
one-half size of the original. No variety ever originated has developed a larger or more beautiful and healthy foliage than 
Early Ozark. It is especially easy to handle in the fruiting bed because it makes only a limited number of runners. For this 
reason plants of this variety can not be sold at as low a price as some other varieties, but the difference in cost is made up many 
times over by greatly increased yields of attractive and delicious fruit, to say nothing of the pleasure of being a leader in one's line. 
mislead the public, that we have found it neces- 
sary to take steps to stop it. We have employed 
oneof the best patent, trademark and copyright law 
firms in the country, Messrs. Dyrenforth, Lee, 
Chritton & Wiles, of Chicago, not only to prosecute 
this particular case, but to protect us against any 
further acts of infringement or unfair con^peti- 
tion. And we publicly serve notice here that any 
further infringement upon our rights will be 
promptly prosecuted to the full extent of the law. 
Distances Apart for Plant-Setting 
STRAWBERRY growers do not always follow 
the same rule with regard to the distance 
apart at which plants are set. Here are six dif- 
ferent ways of arranging them, together with a 
statementof the number of plants required to set 
an acre in each arrangement: 
12 in. .X 12 in. . AX^iir, 36 in. x 20 in 8.725 
l.'iin.x LSin. ^..27,875 3iiin.x;24in 7.275 
30 in X 20 in. 10,450 42 in. x 24 in 6,225 
For the benefit of those who wish to set out 
plants in any other arrangement, or wish to esti- 
mate plants on a smaller area, we give the follow- 
ing method of calculating the number of plants 
required for a plot of any size: 
To fin(J the number of pljints required for a given area, di- 
vide the length of the plot by the distance between the plants 
in the row, and multiply this number by the witilh, divided by 
the distance between the rows. For example: A plot of ground 
.50 feet long by 30 feet wide, with plants set 2 feet apart in the 
row, and rows 2 feet ai)art will require: 
(50 : 2)x (30 : 3) -250 plants. 
WRITING from Waverly, N. Y., E. G. Whit- 
ley says: "Very unwisely I bought plants 
near home last year, and they were the worst 
'punk' you ever saw; and will fix me for berries 
,in 1911. Kellogg's for mine to plant this year."

ROBERT REID, of Eureka, Mont., writes 
us: "I have beaten everything in this coun- 
try with strawberries. I sent five plants of 
Enormous to Spokane to be treated for the Gi'cat 
Northern Railway exhibit car that is traveling 
through the East. They had twenty-eight berries 
on them; the largest measured eight and one-half 
inches in circumference. People came from 
miles around to see my big berries. "
