I k’UK-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS

Early Ozark. A wonderful new early market Strawberry 
EARLY OZARK. Early Ozark was sent out from Missouri by Chas. Schull, and is a cross of 
—- Aroma and Excelsior. The demand locally for this berry is very strong. Grow¬ 
ers on the Peninsula who had Early Ozark in fruiting last spring are very enthusiastic over it, and every¬ 
body is wanting plants. I could find dozens of growers who would verify all of the strong claims that have 
been made for this wonderful new early market Strawberry. I was very fortunate in planting a large plot 
of these last spring and they are making an excellent showing, being among the thriftiest and most prom¬ 
ising. We are receiving good reports from the Ozark from every section where we have sold plants and it 
is highly praised by practically every grower who has fruited it. The growth of the Early Ozark is a 
distinct luxuriant appearance entirely its own. The foliage stands up erect. The leaves are thick and 
leathery, of a distinct green, which makes it appear as though it had been varnished. The berries are 
very firm, averaging large size, and early; in fact, it is claimed to be the largest very early berry yet pro¬ 
duced, which means a great deal to the commercial grower. I have a very fine stock of plants this season 
and shall be pleased to book orders from all who want to grow this money-making variety. 
Gandy. Too well known to require any extended 
description. It is the standard late variety by 
which all other late berries the country over are 
compared. Probably no higher compliment could 
be paid the variety than this. It should be planted 
in black swamp land, if possible, otherwise in clay 
land of a springy nature; never on dry, sandy 
land. We always have a big demand for this va¬ 
riety, and for that reason have prepared a large 
stock of it. At this time it is without doubt one of 
the most largely planted of the late varieties. 
Blossoms perfect. 
Gill. An early variety, uniform in shape, nearly 
round and above the average of the early va¬ 
rieties in size. It colors all over and becomes quite 
deep red when fully ripe. The flesh is light red and 
has a pleasing flavor. It makes larger and stronger 
plants than most early varieties, entirely free from 
disease. No rust spots have appeared on it on my 
grounds. Well worthy of a trial. 
Glen Mary. Glen Mary has now become too 
well known to need a lengthy description. Orig¬ 
inated in West Chester, Pa., and introduced by 
myself in 1906, it has become one of the leading 
•t.indard varieties through New England, the 
Middle West and the Northwest. I doubt if there 
i-i a more popular berry throughout this, vast 
union than the Glen Mary. It has no particular 
choice of soils and does not require petting. The 
roots are long and well developed, providing plenty 
of moisture during a drought. The foliage is large, 
upright in growth, dark green in color. The Glen 
Mary is only semi-staminate, but as its blossoms 
carry enough pollen to fruit its own berries it is 
listed as a staminate variety, but I would not 
recommend it to plant with pistillate varieties as 
a pollenizer. The berries are big, dark red beauties, 
with prominent seeds of bright yellow; the meat 
is rich and juicy, and crimson in color. They are 
of such high flavor that when once eaten more are 
wanted. As a good, firm shipper it is very popular; 
for fancy local market there are few, if any, better, 
and for this reason it is popular-with both the large 
and the small grower. One customer fro tip Connecti¬ 
cut says: “I have found no plant to come up with 
Glen Mary, taking all sides of the question into 
consideration.” Another customer reports: “I 
have grown Glen Mary for several years and find 
it my most profitable variety.” Another customer 
from New Jersey writes: “It is the only variety 
with which I have made a success.” 
Arrived in Good Condition 
I wish to acknowledge for the Station the receipt 
of Strawberry plants. The stock arrived in good con¬ 
dition.—O. M. Taylor, Geneva, N. Y., May 5, 1911.
