ripening variety that appears to be a good producer. 



Fulton - Origin: (Starbright x Pathfinder) New York Agr. Expt. Station (Geneva). 

 Fulton is vigorous and a good runner producer. The berries ripen in mid- 

 season, are attractive in appearance, firm and of good flavor. 



Grenadier - Origin: (Valentine x Fairfax) Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. 

 The plants are fair in vigor and good in runner production. The fruit is 

 moderately attractive, tending to be a little dark, of fair shape and good 

 flavor. Grenadier appears to have a tender skin. 



Guardsman - Origin: (Claribel x Sparkle) Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. 



The plants show good vigor and runner production. The fruit in last year's 

 trials was attractive, firm, and the flavor was good. The berries may tend 

 to be tough. 



Jerseybelle - Origin: New Jersey Agr. Expt. Station. The plants are vigorous, 



make a good bed and are productive. The fruit ripens late, is of large size, 

 firm, of fair flavor and fair color. Jerseybelle looks promising as a late 

 ripening variety where red stele is not a factor. 



Midland - Origin: (Howard 17 x Redheart) U.S.D.A. An early ripening variety 

 with large, firm fruit of very good quality. Midland produces many large, 

 coarse berries and tends to be too dark. The variety is a poor plant 

 maker. 



Midway - Origin: (Dixieland x Temple) U.S.D.A. and Maryland Expt. Station. 

 The fruit is of good size, deep red color, glossy, firm, and of good 

 quality. The plants are vigorous, productive and resistant to the common 

 race of red stele. Midway was introduced as a possible replacement for 

 Falrland and Temple. 



Orland - Origin: (Aberdeen x Howard 17) University of Maine. This has been 

 one of our most productive varieties during the past two seasons. The 

 plants are vigorous and form a good bed. Orland cannot be recommended be- 

 cause of its poor flavor, unattractive color and its tendency to be soft. 



Pocahontas - Origin: (Tennessee Shipper x Midland) U.S.D.A. and the Virginia 

 Truck Experiment Station. The plants are vigorous, very productive and 

 good in runner production. The fruit is of a light red color and rates 

 fair in firmness and shape and poor in flavor. Though one of our top 

 producers, Pocahontas does not seem to be suitable for Massachusetts because 

 of its rather tart flavor. 



Redcoat - Origin: (Sparkle x Valentine) Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. 

 This variety produces very attractive fruit, that is firm and of good 

 flavor. The plants are of moderate vigor, good in runner production and 

 appear to be moderate in yield. 



Redglow - Origin: (Falrland x Tennessee Shipper) U.S.D.A. The plants are 



vigorous, form runners freely and are moderately productive. The berries 

 are of good size, attractive and of good quality. Redglow is resistant to 

 the common strain of red stele.
