Bountiful Ridge Strawberry Plants Are Superior — Plant Them 



Tennessee Beauty 



Very Firm . . . Large Yields 

 A Favorite Wherever Berries Are Grown 



Tennessee Beauty is being grown in nearly every Eastern and Mid- Western berry 

 section with the same results . . . LARGE XIELDS AND HIGH PROFITS. Berries of 

 Tennessee Beauty are large (size holds well throughout entire season) firm, and out- 

 standing shippers. They are a bright, glossy red holding well without changing color. 

 Tennessee Beauty are of high quality and in demand for processing and freezing as well 

 as for use on fresh markets. They ripen late-midseason to late and are sure croppers. 



Plants are vigorous and free plant makers always assuring good picking beds of 

 large, stocky crowns. Tennessee Beauty can be grown on a wide variety of soils with 

 good results. We recommend Tennessee Beauty as a sure profit maker in most all South-

ARMORE 



Very Large . . . Highly Productive 

 Vigorous Grower 



This amazing berry introduced by the Missouri Experiment 

 Station is being successfully grown all through the mid-west. 

 Its large size and beauty have made it quite popular and 

 profitable. In our fruiting plot this past spring, it also 

 showed up very well; giving very large, firm, and beautiful 

 berries in an extremely wet spring. We received higher 

 prices for them than any other berry marketed. 



Armore is a late mid-season kind with an outstanding fu- 

 ture, 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 Ar- 

 mors fur trial throughout the Premier and Blakemore area.

JERSEYBELLE 



A MARKET LEADER AGAIN IN 1960 

 We Have Virus Free Jerseybelle At No Extra Cost. 



Jerseybelle has brought the highest prices paid for straw- 

 berries anywhere since its introduction a few years ago by 

 the New Jersey Experiment Station. Tested as 7-A. Jersey- 

 belle has risen to prominence as a highly profitable late- 

 mid-season berry for the growers of New Jersey and Long 

 Island. The berries are bright orange red. glossy and firm, 

 turning slightly darker upon holding. Jerseybelle has been 

 found best for moderately close and local markets. 



Plants make good growth on rich, moist soils giving good 

 picking beds of large, stocky crowns. However, they are not 

 nearly as vigorous as Sparkle, Catskill or Pocahontas. We 

 recommend Jerseybelle for trial in most Eastern areas. It 

 has not been found to be very adaptable to Midwestern grow- 

 ing conditions where observed in test plots. Our supply of 

 Jerseybelle is limited .

STELEMASTER 



A GREAT BERRY, RESISTANT TO ALL RACES 



RED-STELE ROOT ROT NOW KNOWN IN 



EASTERN U. S. 



Stelemaster formerly tested as Md.-U.S. 2159 originated as 

 a seedling from cross of Fairland X Md.-683. Released Oc- 

 tober 1st. 1954. 



Stelemaster ripens about with Blakemore or just a little 

 later. Berries are medium to large: holds size well through- 

 out 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 all races of red stele 

 known in Eastern U. S. Leaves are resistant to scorch but 

 does leaf spot under some conditions. Our own test plot 

 produced at the rate of better than 12.000 quarts of berries to 

 acre in 1054. It is just a hard berry to equal and it should 

 have the consideration of every planter, especially where red 

 stele is present in the soil. Prices on poge 47. Our plants 

 of Stelemaster are Virus Free.

HEAVY BEARER — FROST RESISTANT 

 A CHALLENGER TO PREMIER 



Empire is a medium early berry introduced by the New 

 York State Experiment Station as an outstanding berry for 

 the middle and northern berry producing areas. It is a beau- 

 tiful berry ; larger than Premier : firmer, better carrier, more 

 attractive and a higher yielder than Premier. Empire has 

 always been a vigorous grower. Virus Free stocks make it 

 even easier to get good fruiting beds. The high yields of 

 large, glossy, red fruit are making this fine berry very popu- 

 lar in the Premier growing sections of the country. Wny 

 don't you try some from Bountiful Ridge this year? 



Note the Fine Shape of Jerseybelle 



The BLAKEMORE 



THE SOUTH AND CENTRAL EAST'S GREATEST 

 EARLY COMMERCIAL BERRY 



VIRUS FREE 



NO YELLOWS — STRONG HEALTHY 



In the south and central berry areas, the Blakemore has 

 proved to be one of the finest of all Early shipping berries. 

 The old type originally released showed a tendency to sport 

 into inferior yellow foliaged strains. It is a very free 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 berries are firm and unexcelled as long dis- 

 tance shipping berry and preferred by all Strawberry pro- 

 cessing companies, riant our Virus Free Blakemore.

 The strawberry plants we received and the grape vines were 

 the best plants and vines and the healthiest we have ever 

 seen. They are thriving. Thank you so much.
