Extra-Early Varieties 
Early Ozark (B) Male 
EXTRA EARLY. Bisexual. This great early variety, orig- 
inated in the Ozark hills of Missouri, erows in popularity 
from year to year. A cross of E.vcelsior and Aroma, this 
vai-iety combines the excellent characteristicsof both of these 
widely known varieties. It has the earliness of Excelsior 
combined with the flavor and generous S'ze of Aroma— a very 
unusual and valuable combination. Ozark is a bisexual very 
strong in pollen, and in addition to its fine qualities as a yielder 
it is a powerful pollenizer of pistillate varieties. Grown on 
both Three Rivers and Twin Falls farms. 
Longfellow (B) Male 
EXTRA-EARLY. Bisexual. Longfellow is a Kellogg orig- 
ination and ever since we began selecting and fruiting this 
variety in 1905 it has steadily grown in popularity. In form 
the fruit is long and of perfect strawberry type; in color it is 
dark red which extends from the circumference to center. In 
flavor it is as rich as any variety we ever have tested and is 
very mild and sweet. It is a profuse bloomer and every bloom 
is perfect, making it an ideal pollenizer of pistillatps of the 
early and mid-season. Grown on both our Three Rivers and 
Twin Falls farms. 
E.xcelsior (B) Male 
EXTRA-EARLY. Bisexual. This variety grows generous 
crops of dark-i ed berries, quite tart, but of high quality when

year after year because of its high qualities as a shipper. 
Form, color and flavor are retained for many days after pick- 
ing. Grown only on our Three Rivers farm.

EXTRA-EARLY. Bisexual. This new candidate for public 
favor IS a recent origination giving large promise cf success,

it for shipping purposes. Grown only on our Three Rivers

offered this extraordinary pistillate to our customers, and the 
fact that its popularity never has waned is the highest tribute 
we can pay to its general excellence. In size the berries are 
niedium and the larger proportion of them are broad wedge- 
shape, tapering to a dull point. In color the fruit is excellent, 
the flesh is close-grained and solid, the flavor is deliciously tart

Staples to our customers, and it already has won high popu- 
larity. Resembling in some of its characteristics the old and 
popular Warfield, it has the added advantage of being a strong 
bisexual. It is of perfect-strawberry form, ranging from rich 
crimson to deep wine in color. Staples has what we may call 
the true strawberry flavor and is deliciously tart. One of our 
customers who ranks among the large commercial growers of 
the country has adopted Staples and Longfellow as the sole 
varieties grown for his trade. Grown only on our Three 
Rivers farm.

highest quality fruit and adds to these advantages that of 
being an excellent fertilizer for early pistillates. Grown on 
our Three Rivers and Twin i'alls farms.

ever grown which is steadily increasing in popularity as its

the fifth year we have offered Heritage, and the demand for 
it grows steadily. Grown only on our TThree Rivers farm.

EARLY TO LATE. Bisexual. After twenty-one years of 
experience with this notable variety we can say that it repre- 
sents one of the highest types of strawberry excellence. In- 
deed, its universal popularity is shown by the fact that it is 
very successful in all northern st^Jtes and from Southern Cali- 
fornia to Northern British Columbia on the Paeilic Coast. 
Some California growers consider it the greatest variety 
known and therefore grow only that variety. It is a strong 
pollenizer of pistillate varieties. Grown both on Three Rivera 
and Twin Falls farms.
