POCAHONTAS 



The Three Way Strawberry 



FRESH MARKET . . . CANNED . . . FROZEN PACK 



Our Most Vigorous Variety 



Outstanding . . . Wonderful . . . My Best Money Maker . . . These are the words 

 used by many of our customers to describe the way they feel about this great berry. 

 POCAHONTAS has come a long way in just a short time. Since its release only five 

 years ago by the U.S.D.A. Pocahontas has climbed to the top of the ladder as a" com- 

 mercial favorite. Time after time it has out yielded all other kinds in trial and com- 

 mercial plantings from the Carolinas to New York and as far west as Ohio and Arkans- 

 as. Its extra high vigor gives Pocahontas good picking beds even under adverse con- 

 ditions. 



Yields of Pocahontas often are more than 10.000 quarts of large, beautiful, high qual- 

 ity berries. They have brought high profits on fresh markets everywhere. Pocahontas 

 has been accepted by the processors as an outstanding berry for canning and freezing. 



The berries are a bright, glossy red: firm: somewhat conic in shape: and not as tart 

 as Blakeniore. Pocahontas ripens about a week later than Blakemore.

DIXIELAND 



Early . . . Vigorous Grower . . . Good Vielder 

 Promising Replacement For Blakemore 



Dixieland is making a steady climb to stardom since its in- 

 troduction just a few years ago. Originally thought to be 

 best adapted to southern areas, it is doing quite well in many 

 northern producing sections. Dixieland ripens with Blake- 

 more, is slightly firmer than Blakemore and has larger ber- 

 ries. The berries are a bright, glossy red, only slightly 

 darker than Blakemore and uniform in shape. Flavor is tart 

 and good. Yields in test plots have run over 9000 quarts per 

 acre of good, large, firm berries. 



Since Blakemore is fading in many producing areas, we 

 suggest Dixieland as an early, high quality replacement. Its 

 large yields, good color, firmness, and high quality are sure 

 to make a hit. Plant Yirus Free Dixieland from Bountiful 

 Ridge this year.
