EARLY WONDER. 
This new variety is an earlier, more prolific type of California 
Wonder. In season it is practically as early as Early Giant. The 
plants are exceptionally vigorous, of a somewhat spreading or 
branching habit of growth, and produce an enormous crop of 
fruit beginning early in the season and continuing over a long 
period. The fruits are very similar in shape to California Wonder, 
but are slightly smaller, and have the thick walls and superior 
quality of California Wonder. A most desirable variety for market 
and shipping.
