  also 
  

   been

  The 
  berries 
  ripen 
  two 
  to 
  three 
  days 
  later 
  than 
  Surecrop. 
  

   They 
  are 
  large, 
  firm, 
  glossy, 
  cone 
  shaped, 
  and 
  have 
  a 
  

   uniform 
  deep 
  red 
  color. 
  Quality 
  is 
  good

  is 
  maintained 
  

   in

  Plants 
  of 
  Redchief 
  are 
  resistant 
  to 
  five 
  races 
  of 
  red 
  stele, 
  

   are 
  vigorous, 
  and 
  intermediate 
  in 
  their 
  resistance 
  to 
  Ver- 
  

   ticillium 
  wilt. 
  The 
  leaves 
  are 
  resistant 
  to 
  leaf 
  scorch 
  and 
  

   mildew 
  but 
  rather 
  susceptible 
  to 
  leaf 
  spot. 
  

  

  Redchief 
  is 
  suggested 
  for 
  areas 
  where 
  red 
  stele 
  is 
  a 
  prob- 
  

   lem 
  and 
  where 
  Surecrop 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  productive. 
  Red- 
  

   chief 
  handles 
  well, 
  is 
  rather 
  easy 
  to 
  cap, 
  and 
  seems 
  well 
  

   adapted 
  for 
  the 
  "pick-your-own" 
  market.
