Our Best Disease Resistant 



STRAWBERRIES 



SUNRISE 



(7003) 



Resistant to Red Stele and Verticillium Wilt 

 Early . . . Vigorous . . . Productive 



Berries of medium size, with glossy surface and a light, 

 bright red color. They retain an attractive appearance long 

 after picking. The berries are conic shaped, and have good 

 dessert quality. Flesh is firm, pale pink in color, but not dark 

 enough for good frozen pack appearance. 



Plants produce runners freely, are very vigorous, and 

 highly resistant to four races of red stele and partially resis- 

 tant .,0 a fifth race. They are also resistant to Verticillium 

 wilt. Leaves are resistant to leaf scorch and mildew, but 

 quite susceptible to leaf spot. 



Sunrise ripens with Earlidawn. Yields have been good to 

 very good in the eastern U.S. We suggest Sunrise be tried 

 wherever red stele and Verticillium wilt occur. 



SURECROP 



(7018) 



MULTIPLE RESISTANCE TO RED STELE— FINE FLAVOR 



VERY HEAVY PLANT PRODUCER 



Excellent Size . . . Good Yields . . . High Prices 



SURECROP is a midseason berry. The berries are a light, 

 bright red which turns to a deep rich color. Seeds are a nice 

 bright yellow set even with the surface. SURECROP berries 

 are firm, with a tough glossy skin which makes them ideal 

 for distant markets. They have also been recommended for 

 freezing. Size holds well throughout the season. 



A very vigorous plant maker and producer, rivaling such 

 varieties as Pocahontas and Robinson as the best bed mak- 

 ers of all strawberry varieties. Coupled with Sunrise as a 

 fine early berry, SURECROP as a midseason berry will 

 deliver a MONEY-MAKING, RED STELE RESISTANCE 

 PUNCH for growers everywhere. 



GUARDIAN 



(7028) 



A new variety from the U.S.D.A. which ripens 4-5 days 

 later than Surecrop. It is resistant to 5 races of Red Stele, 

 verticillium wilt, leaf scorch and mildew. Berries are large, 

 firm, glossy, and retain an attractive appearance during 

 harvest and marketing. Try some . . . Guardian is expected 

 to be very useful in areas where heavy yielding, late mid- 

 season strawberries are desired. 



MIDWAY 



(7016) 



Ripens in midseason. The berries are medium to large 

 size, have a uniform deep red color with a glossy surface, 

 firm skin and yellow seeds. The flesh is firm. Berries are 

 irregular conic shape but have good dessert quality and 

 have stood up well in the frozen pack. 



Plants of Midway are vigorous, highly productive, and 

 resistant to the common race of red stele. The leaves are 

 somewhat susceptible to leaf scorch and leaf spot. 



RED CHIEF 



(7020) 



The berries ripen two to three days later than Surecrop. 

 They are large, firm, glossy, cone shaped, and have a uni- 

 form deep red color. Quality is good and is maintained in 

 frozen products. 



Plants of Redchief are resistant to five races of red stele, 

 are vigorous, and intermediate in their resistance to Ver- 

 ticillium wilt. The leaves are resistant to leaf scorch and 

 mildew but rather susceptible to leaf spot. 



Redchief is suggested for areas where red stele is a prob- 

 lem and where Surecrop has not been productive. Redchief 

 handles well, is rather easy to cap, and seems well adapted 

 for the "pick-your-own" market.
