New Heavy Producing Successor to Albritton 
Earlibelle is the result of work done by U.S.D.A. 
and the North Carolina Ag. Exp. Station. It is an early 
ripening variety which will probably replace Albritton. 
Earlibelle fruits are medium large, uniform 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 thinnest 
Leaves are resistant to leaf spot and leaf scorch. 
Earlibelle is recommended for use in North Carolina 
and southward. We suggest trial planting in the 
Maryland area and northward. 
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. 
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. 
<- v 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 generally 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. 
\j 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 delightfully good for 
such a late berry. The bright red color is quite attrac- 
tive and darkens little on holding.
