Bountiful Ridge Strawberry Plants Are Superior — Plant Them 
The BLAKEMORE 
THE SOUTH AND CENTRAL EAST’S GREATEST 
EARLY COMMERCIAL BERRY. 
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 a long dis- 
tance shipping berry and preferred by all Strawberry pro- 
cessing companies.

«REDCROP 
(N. J. No. 377) 
Rederop is one of the later introductions of the New Jer- 
sey Station and was released to the general public during 
1948. 
It ripens three to four days after Pathfinder, and is a 
much firmer berry with greater resistance to rot than Path- 
finder. The fruit is large, bright red, with a tendency to 
darken somewhat if left on the plant too long. The calyx is 
large and a bright green. It is a geod plant maker like the 
Sparkle and has been rated as an excellent freezer. 
SPARKLE 
A VERY HEAVY PRODUCER 
A GOOD PLANT MAKER. 
Worthy of Planting Wherever Premier Succeeds. 
The Sparkle is a recent introduction of the N. J. Experi- 
mental Station. Sparkle is a prolific plant maker with good 
healthy foliage and reports coming to us say it is very 
productive. Berries are firm under Maryland growing con- 
ditions. Berries are medium size, uniform in shape and as 
its name indicates has a bright red color, turning somewhat 
dark on fruits that are over-ripe. The quality of the berry 
is excellent. Ripens midseason, being a little later than 
Premier. Requires good moisture for best results. Sparkle 
should be tried extensively in N. J., Hastern Penna., New 
York, and other New England States.

TENNESSEAN No. 965 
LATE BLOOMING — EARLY RIPENING — 
GOOD SHIPPING ABILITY RECOMMENDS THIS BERRY. 
The TENNESSEAN was originated at West Tennessee 
Experiment Station and developed by Dr. Brooks Drain and 
co-workers at the University of Tennessee. It is a cross be- 
tween two Tennessee unnamed seedlings. TENNESSEAN 
ripens usually ahead of Blakemore which combined with late 
blooming habits appeal to many growers where crops are 
lost by late frosts. 
The fruit runs consistently

Tennessee Beauty 
Introduced by the Tennessee Experiment Station and is a 
very productive late ripening variety and a good plant 
maker. It produces large, firm, bright red, high quality ber- 
ries which are excellent for fresh use, shipping, preserving 
and freezing. It is suggested for late fruit to replace the 
Aroma. Recommended for trial in all sections. 
An Ideal Berry, Combining Vigorousness 
Productiveness and Quality 
The foliage of Dorsett is not as vigorous as Fairfax but 
equally as resistant to diseases. The foliage and fruiting 
stems are more erect than Premier and it is a free plant 
maker. The fruit is usually conic in shape. The color is 
bright red similar to Blakemore. The berries will average 
larger than Blakemore although not quite so large as Fair- 
fax. The flavor of Dorsett is not equal to Fairfax but su- 
perior to other early berries. 
A very big, very late berry. Easy to grow and get a 
good fruiting row.

Where a very late berry is desired, 
Ambrosia is the best to grow. Ripens when most other 
strawberries are gone. If you cannot grow Redstar well, 
plant Ambrosia. 
~ FAIRLAND 
S. D. A. 3205) 
A NEW EARLY MID-SEASON, RED-STELE RESISTANT 
VARIETY WHICH DISPLAYS GOOD DESSERT AND 
FREEZING QUALITIES. 
The Fairland is an Aberdeen-Fairfax cross released by the 
U. S. D. A., University of Maryland. It is highly productive, 
ranking with Premier, Catskill and Temple and ripening 
a few days behind Premier. It produces a firm, red berry 
compared in size to the Premier. It should prove a fine ber- 
ry for local markets and is a good shipper as well. The 
Fairland is a vigorous grower, producing healthy runner 
plants in abundance. 
ARMORE 
AND MORE A GROWER’S 
EACH YEAR 
PROVING MORE FAVORITE 
Introduced by the Missouri Experimental Station this va- 
riety has proved more productive than 60 others in actual 
erowing tests. Berries are of excellent color and rate high 
in flavor. Fruits over a long period and makes a good fruit- 
ing row. Firmness rates it a superior shipping variety. We 
would recommend it for trial throughout the Premier, Blake- 
growing areas. 
EMPIRE

duce as many berries per plant as Premier but berries are
