Bountiful Ridge Strawberry Plants Are Superior — Plant Them 



EARLIDAWN 



EARLINESS— FREEZING QUALITY— HIGH YIELDS 



Ripening five days before Blakemore and Premier, 

 EARLIDAWN is the earliest of all the good, commer- 

 cial strawberry varieties. Year after year it has come 

 through with early, large crops of nice market berries. 



The berries are quite firm, with a tough skin. Color 

 is a vivid red only slightly darker than Blakemore, 

 which does not become too much darker upon holding. 

 Crops of EARLIDAWN have been outstanding in all 

 areas, with as much as 58% of the crop being harvested 

 in the first week on this fine new variety. 



EARLIDAWN makes extra large crowned plants but 

 not too many runner plants. Yet, production is still 

 quite high for such an early berry. 



MIDLAND 



Beauty 



Size 



Productivity . . . The Flavor King 



Midland from Virus Free Stocks is one of the leaders 

 of early strawberry varieties. Always a favorite as an 

 early berry with outstanding size, beauty, productivity, 

 quality, firmness and freezing ability. Midland can now 

 be profitably grown, thanks to the increased vigor of 

 Vigor Free Stocks. Midland will now make good beds 

 of large vigorous plants. 



Berries are early, ripening with Premier and Blake- 

 more, and as productive as either, averaging somewhat 

 larger in size. The flavor compares favorably with Fair- 

 fax, known generall.v as our highest quality berry. 

 Freezing tests show Midland to be one of the best for 

 either commercial or home use. We suggest you try 

 this fine variety this year and see if you don't agree 

 that it is most outstanding. 



Virus Free Vigor and Rich Market Quality 



Jerseybelle has brought the highest prices paid for 

 strawberries anywhere since its introduction a few years 

 ago. Jerseybelle has risen to prominence as a highly 

 profitable late midseason berry for growers of New 

 Jersey and Long Island. The berries are bright orange- 

 red, glossy and firm, turning slightly darker upon hold- 

 ing. Jerseybelle has been found best for moderately 

 close and local markets. 



Plants make good growth on rich, moist soils and give 

 good picking beds of large, stocky crowns. However, 

 they are not nearly as vigorous as Sparkle, Catskill or 

 Pocahontas. We recommend Jerseybelle for trial in 

 most eastern areas. It has not been found to be very 

 adaptable to midwestern growing conditions where 

 observed. 



VESPER 



(NJ 157) 



This fine new berry is the result of a cross of Utah 

 Shippers and Jerseybelle which ripens later than or 

 about with Jerseybelle. It has a long harvest period that 

 extends well into the Redstar season. The fruits are large 

 and pretty. Vesper is the most productive of the selec- 

 tions tested at New Brunswick. It is a good plant maker 

 but is not resistant to red stele or verticillium wilt. It 

 appears that Vesper will do well and should be tried in 

 areas where Jerseybelle is successful. 



TENNESSEE BEAUTY 



Tennessee Beauty is being grown in nearly every 

 eastern and midwestern berry section with the same 

 results . . . LARGE YIELDS AND HIGH PROFITS. 

 Berries of Tennessee Beauty are large (size holds well 

 throughout entire season), firm, and outstanding ship- 

 pers. They are a bright glossy red, holding well with- 

 out changing color. Tennessee Beauties are of high 

 quality and in demand for processing and freezing as 

 well as for use on fresh markets. They ripen late mid- 

 season to late, and are sure croppers. 



Plants are vigorous and free plant makers, always 

 assuring good picking beds of large stocky crowns. 

 Tennessee Beauty can be grown on a wide variety of 

 soils with good results. We recommend it as a sure 

 profit-maker in most all southern, eastern, northern, 

 and midwestern producing areas.
