early strawberry of all times. 
It ripens ahead of all other var- 
ieties, the fruit is rich in color, at 
fine in texture, excellent in fla- 
vor, and of unusual quality for 
shipping. Foliage is 
tough and_ healthy, 
covering blossoms 
and berries and pro- 
tecting them from 
frost and_ scalding 
sun. The plants are 
sturdy, and long root-

is very resistant to ~ 
frost and matures its

marketed while prices 
are the highest. No | 
other variety will give | 
you more pleasure, 
satisfaction and profit. Perfect flowering. For prices see page 5.
