We Can Supply Fresh Picked Strawberries Any Time 
the plants and placed between the rows in early spring after severe freezing 
is over. We have heard of strawberry fields that have yielded nearly 50,000 
quarts to the acre under special treatment and when plants are set thickly. 
When set in ordinary rows they have been known to go nearly 25,000 to the 
acre. On our farm we have had Parker Earle go 15,000 quarts to the acre and 
other varieties even more. Special varieties often yield from $500 to $1,000 to 
the acre in Oswego county. The man who takes hold of the strawberry busi¬ 
ness and sticks to it for a term of years, usually pays off his mortgage and 
becomes well-to-do. He gets more money from a few acres, has less to pay out, 
and no more to do than the big fellow who farms 200 acres in ordinary crops, 
IMPORTANT 
We supply six plants at dozen prices, 50 at 100, and 500 at 1,000 rates, 
respectively. When the order amounts to $10 or over, we allow patrons to 
select 25 at 100, and 250 at 1,000 rate, and also give free one copy of “Farmer 
on the Strawberry.' All plants are sent postpaid at single and dozen prices. 
On larger quantities the postage and packing is 30c per 100 on strawberry 
and asparagus roots, and 75c per 100 on raspberries, blackberries, currants, 
gooseberries, grape vines, roses, etc. We make no charge for packing and 
furnish free all boxes, crates, baskets, oiled paper, moss and other materials 
used in packing orders by express or freight. We do not prepay express or 
freight charges, but have to guarantee that they will be paid at the other end. 
In view of our purpose to furnish good plants true to name and the great 
pains we take to secure plants of such a character, we know that our prices 
are very reasonable. In no other article of merchandise should quality count 
for more than in plants, because their first cost, however great, is trifling, 
compared to the labor and expense that must be put on them afterwards. 
Good plants cannot be sold below a certain price any more than good cloth at 
shoddy prices. It is our sincere desire that plants not only please when 
received, but when coming into bearing. 
Early Varieties of Strawberries 
Early Ozark (Per.)—This is our 
favorite extra early variety. It begins 
with the earliest and ripens its crop in 
a short time and is out of the way be¬ 
fore midseason kinds come on. The 
plants are very large, grow bushv and 
increase moderately. It is very healthy, 
vigorous and productive. We have 
often said that it will bear berries as 
large as Sample and as many, which 
is saying a good deal. The fruit is 
large and does not get real small 
towards the close of the season. Does 
best on strong, rich soil. The color is 
rich dark crimson and the fruit is 
very firm and ships well. The fruit is 
quite acid until thoroughly ripe. We 
have a fine, large stock of plants. 
Twenty-five for 5uc; 100, $1.50; 1,000, 
$ 8 . 00 . 
August Luther (Per.)—A berry of 
the Michel’s type. Very early, of mild, 
fine flavor, light in color and more pro¬ 
ductive than others of its class. The 
plants are healthy growers and cover 
the land with a mat of plants if not re¬ 
stricted. It is always of good flavor 
and those who crave the flavor of wild 
strawberries will find it largely in this 
Ideal Rows of Early Ozark.
