Brief Descriptions of Other Varieties 
Extra-Early Varieties 
Early Ozark (B) Male 
EXTRA-EARLY. Bisexual. This great early variety, 
originated in the Ozark Hiils of Missouri, grows in popu- 
larity from year to year. A cross of Excelsior and Aroma, 
this variety combines the excellent characteristics of both of 
these widely known varieties. It has the earliness of Excelsior 
combined with the flavor and generous size 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.

Longfellow (B) Male 
EXTRA-EARLY. Bisexual. Longfellow is a Kellogg origina- 
tion and ever since we began rrelecling 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 winch extends from circumference to center. In flavor it 
is as rich as any variety we have ever tested and is very mild 
and sweet. It is a profuse bloomer and every bloom is perfect, 
making it an ideal pollenizer of pistillates of the early and 
mid-season. Longfellow is growing rapidly in popularity in 
Missouri and other southwestern states.

Early Varieties 
Beder Wood (B) Male 
EARLY. Bisexual. No higher tribute need be paid this 
variety than to say that this is the twenty-ninth year we have 
grown it, and that it steadily increases in popularity in northern 
latitudes and in high altitudes. In color the berry is a delicate 
crimson, having a glossy surface, in which are embedded 
bright, yellow seeds. In size the berries are medium and in 
addition to their excellent flavor are famous for fine shipping 
and canning qualities. It has a long blooming season and is 
a strong fertilizer.

Billy Sunday (B) Male 
EARLY. Bisexual. All that we said of this new origination 
in our 1916-17 editions has been more than realized in actual 
experience. The Billy Sunday is a protiflc yiehier of high-grade 
fruit, which is produced continuously from early to late, 
beginning somewhat earlier than the WarOeld and closing its 
season just before Sami)Ie ceases to bear. The foliage is tall 
and large; fruiting steins are long and hold the fruit well above 
the foliage until the fruit weighs them down. In size, Havor 
and color it is ideal, and there are few varieties that have a 
more delicious flavor than this extraordinary origination. All 
growers should give this variety, which is native to Ohio, a 
thorough test.

Clyde (B) Male 
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. Indeed 
its universal popularity is shown by the fact that it is very 
successful in all northern states and from southern California 
to northern British Columbia on the Pacific Coast. Some 
California growers consider it the greatest variety known and 
therefore grow only that variety. It is a strong pollenizer of 
pistillate varieties.

Crescent (P) Female 
MEDIUM EARLY. Pistillate. For more than thirty years 
we have offered this extraordinary pistillate to our cusiximers, 
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 medium and the larger pro(>ortion of them are broad 
wedge-shai>e, tapering to a dull point. In quality the fruit is 
excellent, the flesh is close-grained and solid, the flavor is 
deliciou.sly tart and the berry exceedingly juicy. Crescent 
ranks very high both as a shipper and canner and is a ftrime 
favorite for table use. You alwayi* may count upon large 
yields of fine fruit from this variety.

Helen Davis (B) Male 
EARLY. Bisexual. Introduced by us in 1911, Helen Davis 
has become a leading favorite in almost every section of the 
eastern and middle states and has now attained large popularity 
in the inter-mountaiii states. It is particularly adapted to 
the colder regions of the northwest and is a prime favorite in 
the irrigated districts. It is a prolific yielder of beautiful fruit 
of large size. It is famous for its ability to withstand severe 
drouths. 
For prices, see Page G3, Column 2 
Heritage (B) Male 
EARLY Bisexual. One of the largest and finest berries ever 
grown which is steadily increasing in popidarity as its splendid 
qualitie.s become known. In shape the berry is conical and 
long, having an obtuse point. In color it is a dark lustrous 
shade of crimson and is studded with brilliant yellow seeds — 
a combination of fine flavor and beauty that renders it one of 
the most popular of the early-season varieties. This is the 
sixth year we have offered Heritage, and the demand for it 
grows steadily. '

Jessie (B) Male 
EARLY. Bisexual. Among growers who aim to produce 
fancy strawberries and find their soil well adapted to its 
production, Jessie rnnks among the leaders. Under right 
conditions it is one of the most satisfactory varieties produced 
by commercial growers. It is an extremely heavy yielder of 
highest quality fruit and adds to these advantages that of 
being an excellent fertilizer for early pistillates. 
For prices, see Page 63, Column 2 
Warfield (P) Female 
EARLY. Pistillate. This is the thirtieth year w© have 
offered this wonderful pistillate variety to our patrons, and 
the highest recommendation that can be paid to any variety 
which has so long stood the test of time, is the fact that each 
year we are compeUed to increase the area devoted to its 
production. It has always ranked No. 1 among the varieties 
particularly adapted to canning, and during a recent season 
we made canning tests with this variety, the results of which 
fully justified every statement made in that regard concerning 
Warfield. The fruit retains after canning its fine rich redness, 
and its delicious flavor is porhap? superior Ix) any other variety. 
Warfield combines with beauty extraordinary productiveness. 
In size it is large and in form ideal. Its exterior is a glossy 
red and the flesh remains dark red to the center. The Dcrry 
is very juicy and deliciously tart. Its yield of fruit is enormous 
and as a shipper it has no superior.

Warren (B) Male 
EARLY. Bisexual. Warren has during tlie last three years 
won high place among the early varieties, and it has become 
universally [>opular as a strong bisexual and an especially 
heavy yielder of large and luscious, uniformly shaped tierries. 
The plants are very vigorous with strong, leathery foliage of 
very dark green. The calyx is of light green which adds greatly 
to the beauty and fine appearance of this variety. Warren 
won the silver medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural 
Society in 1912 — a notable houoi, because there is no other 
society in the United States whose medals are more highly 
prized.

Medium Varieties 
Bubach (P) Female 
MEDIUM. Pistillate. This variety is a wonderful yielder 
when mated with such varieties as Senator Dunlap, Parsons' 
Beauty or Magic Gem, and over a very wide range of territory 
it is one of the most popular varieties known and has been 
for more than a quarter of a century. Buhach is successful 
in practically all soils, and we can recommend it without 
hesitation to all sections of the countr>, but especially to the 
growers of the southwest.
