Heavy-Rooted, Disease Free Plants Assure Success 
EARLIDAWN <™ 2 > 
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. 
J ROBINSON 1 
Large Size — Bright Color 
A LEADING MARKET BERRY 
Robinson, often called Scarlet Beauty, has those very 
large attractive berries which catch the customer's eye 
every time. They are a beautiful bright red color with 
glossy finish, holding well with little loss of color. Yields 
are comparable to other leading varieties. 
Plants of the Robinson variety are very vigorous, 
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. 
FAIRFAX 007 
Queen of the Table Berries 
Fairfax ripens about the same time as Premier, and 
its fruiting season extends over a long period. The 
quality Fairfax is equal to the best. Berries are large 
to very large, of a bright red color at picking time. 
Turns dark after being picked for several days but re- 
tains its flavor and firmness. 
SPARKLE 
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 quality 
of the berry is excellent. Ripens midseason, being a little 
later than Premier. Requires good moisture for best 
results. Sparkle is grown extensively in New Jersey, 
eastern Pennsylvania, New York and New England 
States. 
MIDLAND 
(7006) 
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 abilit}', 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.
