VAN DEMAN. 



WARFIELD. 



With the housekeeper it is a favorite canning variety because of its dark rich color. 

 It is one of the most desirable varieties for general cultivation, where the soil is not 

 too light and dry for its growth. 



ORIGIN: a chance seedling, supposed to be a cross between Crescent and Wilson, 

 found by B. C. Warfield, of Southern Illinois. 



PLANT: small, but a rampant grower, and often makes too many runners, filling the 

 rows too thickly. Succeeds best on moist soils, and in showery seasons; often proves a 

 failure on very dry soils or in times of drouth. Blossoms early and requires an early 

 blooming bisexual variety, such as Splendid or Van Deman, to fertilize its blossoms; 

 very productive. 



BERRY: medium size, very regular in shape, dark rich crimson color; firm, good 

 shipper, and excellent for canning; somewhat acid, but good quality. 



SEASON: early to mid-season, holds out well if season is favorable. 



ADAPTATION: does well wherever the soil is not too light and dry. (Hutt.)
