ARMORE 



Very Large . . . Highly Productive 

 Vigorous Grower 



This amazing berry introduced by the Missouri Experiment Sta- 

 tion is being successfully grown all through the mid-west. Its 

 large size and beauty have made it quite popular and profitable. 

 In our fruiting plots it showed up very well: giving very large, 

 firm, and beautiful berries in an extremely wet spring. We re- 

 ceived higher prices for them than any other berry marketed. 



Armore is a late mid-season kind with an outstanding future, 

 we believe. Plants are very vigorous, easy to get good producing 

 beds. Berries are light red and firmer than the Premier and 

 Sparkle. Quality is good. We recommend Armore for trial 

 throughout the Premier and Blakemore area.

EARLY COMMERCIAL BERRY

 to be one of the finest of all eai ly shipping berries. It is a very 

 tree plant maker and responds quickly to good treatment. It is an 

 abundant bearer, the fruit averages large and retains its bright 

 attractive red color even after being picked several days. Quality 

 is superior to Missionary and Klondyke. It will ripen a few days 

 earlier than Premier. The foliage is healthy and vigorous. The 

 plants hold up well during a drought. The oerries are firm and 

 unexcelled as long distance shipping berry and preferred by all 

 Strawberry processing companies. Plant our Virus Free Blake-

PREMIER 



It can be considered almost frostproof. The berries average 

 large and hold up well under heavy crops and unfavorable sea- 

 sonable conditions: it ripens over a comparatively long period, 

 from two to three weeks; the berries have an attractive bright 

 red color and unusual quality. It is moderately firm. It is one 

 of the best of the tried and proven early varieties.

REDSTAR 



Our Very Best Late Berry 



Redstar is 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 delight- 

 fully good for such a late berry. The bright red color is quite 

 attractive and darkens little on holding. 



Plants of Kedstar are now Virus Free and very vigorous. It is 

 easy to get a nice fruiting bed and high yields from these plants. 

 Redstar should be grown where there is an abundance o 

 at platnting time for best size and quality. 



STELEMASTER 



A Good Berry, Resistant To 3 Most Prevalent Races 

 of Red Stele Root Rot In Eastern U. S. 



Stelemaster ripens about with Blakemore. Berries are medium 

 to large: hold 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 subacid. Stelemaster plants are 

 vigorous, very productive and highly resistant to red stele known 

 in Eastern U. S. Leaves are resistant to scorch but do leaf spot 

 under some conditions. It is a hard berry to equal and it should 

 have the consideration of every planter, especially where red stele 

 is present in the soil.

ROBINSON 



Large Size — Bright Color 

 A LEADING MARKET BERRY 



Robinson, often called Scarlet Beauty, has those 

 ttractive berries which catch the customer's eye 

 beautiful bright red coli 

 well with little loss of color. Yields 

 ing varieties. 



Plants of the Robinson variety are very vigorous: almost always 

 making good picking beds under extreme circumstances. Robinson 

 actually does better lin dry seasons than in wet ones because of 

 the tendency to over produce plants. The berries also hold up 

 better under dry conditions.
