Our Best Flavored Early Berry Brings Highest Prices, Too 



MIDLAND 



Beauty . . . Size . . . Productivity 



The Flavor King 



Midland from Virus Free Stocks is now surging back as 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 due to the increased vigor of Virus Free Stocks. Midland will now make good 

 beds of large vigorous plants. 



Berries are early, ripening with Premier and Blakemore, and as productive as either, 

 averaging somewhat larger in size. The flavor compares favorably with Fairfax, known 

 generally as our highest quality lurry. Freezing tests show Midland to be one of the 

 best either for 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.

KARDINAL KING 



Kardinal King has created something of a sensation in 

 Michigan by producing record breking crops which outsold 

 all other varieties in competition. Buyers praise it for high 

 shipping quality. Does equally well for canning and freez- 

 ing. 



The plants grow large, making wide fruiting rows. Berries 

 ripen slightly after Premier and continue through the late 

 season. The fruits are large solid red. juicy and sweet. We 

 recommend Kardinal Kins for trial in all areas where Prem- 

 ier and Catskill grow successfully.

 id for several days but retains its flavor and firmness. Our
