STRAWBERRIES 



Armore - This University of Missouri introduction looks very promising. The 

 plant is very vigorous, and forms many runners. The fruit is large, firm and of 

 fine flavor. Armore has been one of the top producers in our trials but falls 

 short in fruit appearance and is not resistant to red stele. 



Blaze - An introduction of the New Hampshire Experiment Station. The plants are 

 vigorous, productive and produce a moderate number of runners. The fruits are 

 large, light in color with white centers, fair in firmness and good quality. Blaze 

 is not resistant to red stele, but is worthy of trial where this disorder is not 

 present. 



Ear li dawn - This U.S.D.A. introduction has been the earliest ripening variety in 

 our trials. The plants are moderately productive, of fair vigor and form a satis- 

 factory number of runner plants. The fruit is of medium size, firm, tart and of 

 fair to good quality. Earlidawn is susceptible to the common strain of red stele 

 but may be of value where red stele is not a factor, because of its earliness. 



Redglow ~ A U.S.D.A. introduction for the midseason. The plants are tall, vigorous 

 and produce numerous runners. The fruits are attractive, of medium to large size 

 and of good quality. Redglow is resistant to the common strain of red stele but 

 is susceptible to mildew. 



Surecrop - An introduction of the U.S.D.A. and the Maryland Experiment Station. 

 The plants are tall, vigorous and produce numerous runners. The fruit is of medium 

 size, attractive and of good quality though tart. Surecrop show promise where red 

 stele is a problem. 



Pocahontas - An introduction from the U.S.D.A. The plants are of moderate vigor 

 and runner production, the berries were of medium size, attractive, firm, sub-acid, 

 but of very good quality. Pocahontas was one of the top producers in this season's 

 trials at Amherst. 



Vine land - An introduction of the Ontario Experiment Station. The plants are of 

 moderate vigor, yield and runner production. The fruit was of medium size, with 

 prominent raised seeds, tender and of good quality. 



Merrimack - This New Hampshire introduction may have a place as a very late ripen- 

 ing variety. The plants are tall, vigorous and form a moderate number of runner 

 plants. The fruit is of medium size, attractive and of good quality.
