Heavy-Rooted, Disease Free Plants Assure Success 



<<- ROBINSON 



Large Size — Bright Color 

 A LEADING MARKET BERRY 



Robinson, often called Scarlet Beauty, has those very 

 large attractive berries which catch the customer's ej'e 

 every time. They are a beautiful bright red color with 

 glossj' finish, holding well with httle loss of color. Yields 

 are comparable to other leading varieties. 



Plants of the Robinson variety are ven* \-igorous, 

 almost always making good picking beds under extreme 

 circumstances. Robinson actually does better in dry sea- 

 sons than in wet ones because of the tendency to over- 

 produce plants. The berries also hold up better under 

 dry conditions. 



SPARKLE 



ARMORE

This fine berrj' is being successfully grown all through 

 the Midwest. Its large size and beauty have made it 

 quite popular and profitable. In our fruiting plots it 

 has shown up very well, giving verj^ large, firm, and 

 beautiful berries. 



Armore is a late midseason kind of outstanding 

 merit. Plants are vigorous and easily make good pro- 

 ducing beds. Berries are light red and firmer than 

 Premier and Sparkle. Quality is good. 



STELEMASTER 



Resistant to Three Races of Red Stele 



Stelemaster ripens about with Blakemore. Berries are 

 medium to large and hold their size well throughout 

 season. Generally uniform and smooth, medium red 

 with a glossy surface. The flesh is light red, firm, juicy, 

 and flavor is mild sub-acid. Stelemaster plants are 

 vigorous, very productive and highly resistant to red 

 stele in eastern United States. Leaves are resistant to 

 scorch but do leaf spot under some conditions. It 

 should have the consideration of every planter where 

 red stele is a problem. 



A Very Heavy Producer 

 GOOD FOR FREEZING, TOO 



Sparkle is a prolific plant maker with good healthy 

 foliage, and very productive. Berries are medium size, 

 uniform in shape and have a bright red color, turning 

 somewhat dark on fruits that are over-ripe. The quaUty

 eastern Pennsylvania, New York and New England 

 States. 



DIXIELAND 



Early . 



Vigorous Grower 



Good Yielder 



Dixieland ripens with Blakemore, is shghtly firmer 

 than Blakemore and has large berries. They are a bright 

 glossy red, only shghtly darker than Blakemore, and 

 uniform in shape. Flavor is tart and good. Yields have 

 run over 9000 quarts per acre of good, large, firm berries. 



A genetic variegation (spring yellows, June yellows) 

 has developed in the variety Dixieland. This is not a 

 virus. Plants are weakened and yields are reduced. There 

 are no known sources of Dixieland jree of spring yellows. 

 Attempts are being made to locate non-yellowing stock. 

 Thus, we can make no guarantee as to performance of 

 Dixieland. 



Because of genetic variegation, Dixieland has been 

 taken out of the Virus Free program and cannot be 

 sold as Registered Stock this season. As sooii as Virus 

 Free clones of this variety are available, we will offer 

 them for sale. 



<^ REDGLOW 



BEAUTY — PRODUCTIVITY — LARGE SIZE 

 RED STELE RESISTANCE 



Redglow is one of our best-looking strawberries. The 

 fruit ripens in early midseason and is large, beautiful, 

 brilhant red, and delicious. The berries hold their size 

 throughout the season and are fairly firm. They are 

 good for freezing and fresh market sales. 



Plants of Redglow are vigorous, productive, and re- 

 sistant to the common type of red stele. This is a real 

 good variety for the middle states area and should be 

 planted in rich, moist soil. It ripens one or two days 

 later than Earlidawn.
