TENNESSEE NURSERY CO., CLEVELAND, TENN. 
Early Ozark foe an early variety. It is as 
large as any of the late varieties, as early 
as the Michell's; very firm; good shipper 
and heavy producer; holds up well to the 
end of the season. Good plant maker, 
has the most healthful and beautiful foli- 
age of any I have ever seen. Have re- 
ceived many good reports of the fruiting 
last season, especially from New York, 
Washington and Illinois. I can truthfully 
say that the most beautiful sight that I 
have ever seen in the line of strawberries 
was in my bed of Ozarks in the year 1908. 
They were just simply piled so thick in 
the rows with berries of all sizes that it 
looked as though you could scoop them up 
by the handful on almost any spot." 
It is very firm and productive, and holds 
up well the entire season. Plant growth is 
ideal, making just enough plant to insure 
best results for fruiting. Foliage dark green 
and healthy. It is being used extensively 
for commercial purposes on account of its 
season, size, color and firmness. The demand 
has always been greater than the supply, and 
if you want any of these plants you should 
order early. 
Crescent (Imp.) — This berry is a wonderful 
producer of fruit of medium size. Close 
grained surface and solid flesh. It is a 
juicy berry with a pronounced flavor and 
a good canner. 
Bubach 
Bubach — A well known berry for its size and 
productiveness. Mid-season in ripening, 
but a poor plant maker, which is probably 
the main reason for its success in maturing 
large fruit. Especially recommended for 
home use or near markets. 
Warfield (Imp.) — This is a pistillate variety 
and has a popularity that comes to but 
few varieties. It has a large, beautiful, 
cone-shaped berry, with a fadeless dark 
red exterior, and the dark color is retained 
to the center of this exceptionally juicy 
berry, which is just tart enough to be de- 
liriously palatable. It is a popular berry 
for canning, a good looker in the market, 
a superior shipper, and its general appear- 
ance on the vine is retained after it is in 
the market. 
Senator Dunlap (Per.) — A variety that seems 
to give general satisfaction all over the 
country. It is a perfect bloomer and an 
extra prolific plant maker of medium size 
plants; medium in fruiting season, ripening 
at about the same time as Warfield and 
resembling that variety in color and shape 
of fruit. The Dunlap is very productive, 
medium to large in size, and very dark red 
in color when fully ripe. It is firm and 
has a peculiarity of remaining on the vine 
after ripening longer than most varieties 
without becoming soft. It seems to do 
well in all kinds of soil and in all sections. 
It is highly spoken of by northern growers. 
Plants should be set from twelve to eight- 
een inches farther apart than Aroma, or 
runners kept cut off to get best results in 
size of fruit, for it is about the best plant 
maker we have. 
Stevens' Late Champion (Per.) — The berries 
are large, dark red, rich flavored fruit, 
commanding a good price. Mulching, 
even in the North, is hardly necessary, as 
the strong stems hold the fruit erect from 
the ground. Plants grow strong runners 
and lots of them. It is a staminate with 
an unusual lot of pollen. 
Excelsior (Per.) — This has not become fa- 
mous for the home garden only, but with the 
producer who grows for market purposes. 
One will get in the Excelsior an extra early 
berry, one that can be grown profitably, 
one capable of standing drouth and heat. 
A good berry for any professional grower, 
especially southern growers. It is a seed- 
ling and a Wilson-Hoffman product. It 
is thrifty and a self-pollenlzer. 
Brandywine (Per.) — Thrives on almost any 
soil. Flesh firm and red all the way 
through. Productiveness above the aver- 
age; ships well and is one that can be de- 
pended upon to give general satisfaction 
to the grower. Is extra prolific in North- 
ern and Middle States, in Southern Cali- 
fornia and Florida. It is cream color in 
the center; has a delicious flavor; foliage 
dark green; roots deep, enabling it to en- 
dure more dry weather than most varieties 
Michel's Early (Per.) — Fruit medium size 
berries crimson, evenly colored. The fla- 
vor is rich and mild; meat a deep red pink. 
An excellent shipper and a good money 
maker.
