BIG JOE 



A BEAUTIFUL BERRY 

 A MONEY-MAKER 



No other mid-season berry lias stood the test of var- 

 ied soil and climatic conditions to which the Big Joe 

 lias been subjected to for the past twenty years anti 

 <;onie through with the fine record it lias for general 

 hardiness, productiveness and being a protitable. berry 

 to grow. It will withstand as much rough treatment 

 .as any variety we know of and still come through. It 

 is a very large, attractive, dark bright red berry that 

 will sell on any market. It can always be depended on 

 to make a good set of plants and come through with a 

 •crop, a combination which makes it one of the most 

 pofiular and profitable berries to grow. 



PATHFINDER 



VERY RESISTANT TO ROOT DISEASES 



Originating at N. J. Experimental Station as the re- 

 sult of a cross between Premier and Aberdeen and 

 formerly known as N. J. No. 35. Ripens about three 

 weeks after Premier. The berries are regular, roundish - 

 conic in shap, medium to large in size, bright red in 

 color, brisk, sub-acid flavor with a quality rating of 

 good. The plants are very vigorous and productive 

 and thrive on heavier springy types of soil with plenty 

 of moistiire. Will do best from central Jersey north. 



DRESDEN 



Reports coming from Conn, where Dresden originated 

 claim yields as high as 16,000 quarts to the acre. This 

 is hard to believe but being a fine large berry, making 

 good plants we recommend it for trial in the northern 

 berry areas. Berries ripen just before Catskill, are 

 mostly conic to wedge shaped, rich strawberry color, 

 moderately firm and fair to good quality. Plant some 

 Dresden for trial this year. 



RED STAR 



(U.S.D.A, 2124) 



Large, Bright Red Color, Excellent Quality, 



Firmness, Late Ripening — Qualifies the 



REDSTAR to Challenge All Other Late Varieties 



Redstar is a cross of Chesapeake and Fairfax which 

 has been under test since 1933. 



A heavy producer of large showy type berries which 

 are sometimes ridged or furrowed. The berries are a 

 bright red and do not turn dark, its flesh is juicy but 

 firm, the (luality is good to excellent, size of fruit holds 

 well through fruiting season. 



The plants and leaves are very large, the stalks strong, 

 while the flower stems are relatively short thus afford- 

 ing the fruit buds protection from frosts. 



We have long needed a good very late berry and 

 REDSTAR so far stands out as the challenger for top 

 honors over all other late varieties. 



It ripens after Chesapeake and with or after Gandy 

 and Orera. 



Bountiful Ridgre Grown CATSKILLi plants such as 

 these will bring results. They have heavy crowns, 

 long roots and are free from Cape Cod Nematode which 

 infests so many Catskill plants. We caution planters 

 to know where their Catskill plants are coming from; 

 a small saving in price of plants can prove very costly. 

 IT WILL PAY YOU TO PLANT BOUNTIFUL RIDGE 

 GROWN CATSKILL." 



STARBRIGHT 



(U. S. D. A. 2120) 



Starbright is a cross of Fairfax and Chesapeake. The 

 plants are vigorous and healthy with strong crowns. 

 Makes much better fruiting beds than Chesapeake. The 

 berries are large, hold well through the fruiting season. 

 Berries have bright glossy color, lighter color than 

 Fairfax, and very firm and have very high quality. 

 Recommended for planting from Virginia to southern 

 New England and central western area. 



, CHESAPEAKE 



QUALITY- -BEAUTY - PRODUCTIVE 



It will not stand abuse, seeming to do best in dark, 

 loamy soil and heavier soils where there is plenty of 

 moisture. It will thrive on well tilled new land. Like 

 the Premier it is about frost-proof and bears abund- 

 antly, the plants having large, 

 healthy foliage. The berries are 

 large and attractive, being su- 

 perior in quality. The berry is 

 very firm so you can ship it to 

 distant markets. 



Vigorous Plant Growth and Heavy Yields Places Temple Among the Leaders. 



Robinson 



A comparatively new variety 

 being given a lot of favorable 

 comments from most Michigan 

 plant growers. The berries are 

 medium to large size — beautiful 

 bright red color and firm. It 

 seems to be, a free plant maker 

 and the foliage is healthy. Ber- 

 ries begin ripening about 7 to 

 10 days later than Premier. 

 From all reports the Robinson is 

 a worthy mid-season to late 

 berry and especially adapted to 

 commercial growing and we feel 

 should be given a thorough trial 

 under eastern central and north- 

 ern growing conditions.
