TENNESSEE BEAUTY 



Very Finn . . . 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 YIELDS AND HIGH PROFITS. Berries of 

 Tennessee Beauty are large (size holds well throughout entire season), Arm, 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 Southern. 

 Eastern, Northern, and Mid-western producing areas. 



Bountiful Ridge plants of Tennessee Beauty are Virus Free. 



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 plots this past spring, it also 

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

 berries in an extremely wet spring. We received higher pric- 

 es for them than any other berry marketed. 



Armore is a late mid-season kind with an outstanding 

 future, we believe. Plants are very vigorous, easy to get 

 good producing beds. Berries are light red and firmer than 

 Premier and Sparkle. Quality is good. We recommend Ar- 

 more for trial throughout the Premier and Blakemore area.

REDSTAR 



Our Very Best Late Berry 



Redstar is a sure bet to continue the good strawberry sea- 

 son. Its large, flavorful berries are certain to make a hit with 

 your customers and family. They ripen a week to ten days 

 after other berries are gone — so late that they are seldom 

 hit by frost and annual crops are a certainty. The first ber- 

 ries are very large and wedge-shapod. Later ones are mostly 

 conic. Flavor is delightfully good for such a late berrv. 

 The bright red color is quite attractive and darkens little on 

 holding. 



Plants of Redstar are now Virus Free and very vigorous. 

 It is easy to get a nice fruiting bed and high yields from 

 these plants. Redstar should be grown where there is an 

 abundance of moisture at planting time for best size and 



TEMPLE 



The First Red Stele Resistant Kind 



Temple was introduced as a life-saver to berry growers 

 whose land was infested with Red Stele Root Rot disease. 

 While not resistant to all known types of the disease, Temple 

 did give good yields of beautiful, firm berries. Not a freez- 

 ing berry. Temple is best used as a fresh market variety. 

 Its good size, high yields, and delicious flavor make it very 

 popular in this area. Temple plants are vigorous and make 

 good fruiting beds if grown on rich, moist soil. Temple is a 

 good mid-season kind to follow Stelemaster in areas where 

 Red Stele is a problem. We believe fully ripe Temple to be 

 one of the highest dessert quality berries we grow. 



FAIRFAX 



'roductive — 



They Are Truly Magnificent — Examples of 

 and Wonderful Quality. 



The Fairfax ripens about the same time as Premier, and 

 its fruiting season extends over a long period. The quality 

 of the Fairfax is equal to the best of our older varieties. The 

 berries are large to very large, of a bright red color at pick- 

 ing time. Like the Bel'lmar it turns dark after being picked 

 for several davs but retains its flavor and firmness. Our 

 plants of Fairfax are Virus Free. 



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.-(J83. 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 rate of better than 12,000 quarts of berries to 

 acre in 1954. 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 page 47. Our plants 

 of Stelemaster are Virus Free.

JERSEYBELLE 



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- 

 midseason 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.
