STRAWBERRIES 
«- SUNRISE < oo3) 
Resistant to Red Stele and Verticillium Wilt 
Early . . . Vigorous . . . Productive 
Sunrise is a new early berry with multiple resistance to 
red stele. Berries of medium size, with glossy surface and 
a light, bright red color. They retain an attractive appear- 
ance long after picking. The berries are conic shaped, and 
have good dessert quality. Flesh is firm, pale pink in color, 
but not dark enough for good frozen pack appearance. 
Plants produce runners freely, are very vigorous, and 
highly resistant to four races of red stele and partially 
resistant to a fifth race. They are also resistant to Ver- 
ticillium wilt. Leaves are resistant to leaf scorch and mil- 
dew, but quite susceptible to leaf spot. 
Sunrise ripens with Earlidawn at Beltsville, but is some- 
what later at mid-west test blocks. Yields have been good 
to very good in the eastern U.S. We suggest Sunrise be 
tried wherever red stele and Verticillium wilt occur.

MULTIPLE RESISTANCE TO RED STELE — FINE FLAVOR 
VERY HEAVY PLANT PRODUCER I 
Excellent Size . . . Good Yields . . . High Prices 
SURECROP is a really fine new strawberry variety 
wherever grown, from Pennsylvania and New York to 
southern Virginia and westward to Ohio. 
SURECROP is a midseason berry. The berries are a 
light, bright red which turns to a deep rich color. Seeds 
are a nice bright yellow set even with the surface. SURE- 
CROP berries are firm, with a tough glossy skin which 
makes them ideal for distant markets. They have also 
been recommended for freezing. Size holds well through- 
out the season. 
A very vigorous plant maker and producer, rivaling 
such varieties as Pocahontas and Robinson as the best 
bed makers of all strawberry varieties. Coupled with 
Sunrise as a fine early berry, SURECROP as a mid- 
season berry will deliver a MONEY-MAKING, RED 
STELE RESISTANCE PUNCH for growers everywhere. 
MIDWAY (7oi6, 
New . . . Widely Tested ... Red Stele Resistant 
Merits Trial in All Areas 
Midway is a cross of Dixieland and Temple that has 
done well from Massachusetts to Virginia and westward. 
It ripens in midseason. The berries are medium to large 
size, have a uniform deep red color with a glossy surface, 
firm skin and yellow seeds. The flesh is firm. Berries are 
irregular conic shape but have good dessert quality and 
have stood up well in the frozen pack. 
Plants of Midway are vigorous, highly productive, and 
resistant to the common race of red stele. The leaves are 
somewhat susceptible to leaf scorch and leaf spot. 
Growers report 1968 crops of Midway were excellent in 
yield, color, size. Buyers paid high prices for fruit because 
it carried long distances with a minimum of loss. 
Gentlemen: 
In 1988 we ordered one hundred Mastodon everbearing 
strawberry plants from you. They are fine berries and the 
plants are still living and bearing.
