Heavy-Roofed, Disease Free Plants Assure Success 



EARLIBELLE ^ 



New Heavy Producing Successor to Albritton 



Earlibelle is the result of work done b}' U.SJ3A. 

 and the North Carohna Ag. Exp. Station. It is an earb' 

 ripening variety which will probably replace Albritton. 



Earlibelle fruits are medium large, imiform and conic. 

 Flesh is a good bright red that turns deeper with 

 maturity. The surface of the berries is glossy and firm. 

 The flavor is tart and good. 



Plants of Earlibelle are small but produce runners so 

 profusely that most picking beds must be thinned. 

 Leaves are resistant to leaf spot and leaf scorch. 

 Earhbelle is recommended for use in North Carolina 

 and southward. We suggest trial planting in the 

 Marj-land area and northward. 



MIDLAND 



EARLIDAWN 



EARLINESS— FREEZING QUALITY— HIGH YIELDS 



Ripening five days before Blakemore and Premier, 

 EARLIDAWN is the earhest 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 nmner plants. Yet, production is still 

 quite high for such an early berry. 



Beauty . . . Size . . . Productivity . . . The Flavor King 



Midland from Virus Free Stocks is one of the leaders 

 of earl}- strawberrj^ varieties. Always a favorite as an 

 early berry with outstanding size, beauty, producti-vity, 

 quality, firmness and freezing ability, Midland can now 

 be profitably grown, thanks to the increased %-igor 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 generallj- as our highest quality berry. 

 Freezing tests show Midland to be one of the best for 

 either commercial or home use. We suggest you trj- 

 this fine variety this j^ear and see if j'ou don't agree 

 that it is most outstanding. 



FLORIDA 90 



Best Florida Variety 

 This is the finest variety for home garden and com- 

 mercial use in Florida and South Georgia. It requires 

 little cold weather for good crops and produces best 

 from virus free stocks. Plants are small but vigorous 

 and prolific. Berries are large, elongate, colored a rich 

 red, and have good flavor. This is a tailor-made variety 

 for southern areas. 



REDSTAR 



Our Very Best Late Berry 



A .sure bet to continue the good strawberry' season. Its 

 large, flavorful berries are certain to make a hit with 

 your customers and family. They ripen a week to ten 

 days after other berries are gone — so late that they are 

 seldom hit by frost, and annual crops are a certainty. 

 The first berries are very large and wedge shaped. Later 

 ones are mostly conic. Flavor is dehghtfuUy good for 

 such a late berry. The bright red color is quite attrac- 

 tive and darkens little on holding.
