IMMUNE 
FROM DISEASE 
Resistant To Disease—The Red-Stele root rot, was 
a very serious disease to strawberry growers in the 
northern half of this country a few years ago, on 
poorly drained soils. With the kind help of Prof. C. 
E. Temple, of the University of Maryland, whose 
efforts finally started the cross breeding of varieties 
of strawberry plants that seemed most likely to be 
resistant to this disease. This work has been carried 
on co-operatively by the University of Maryland and 
U. S. Dept. of Agri., who have produced this grand 
variety since Prof. Temple has retired and which 
variety carries his name—TEMPLE. 
SALISBURY - MARYLAND 11 

Deep Feeder @ Drought Resistant 
Good Plant Maker @ Heavy Yielder 
Quality—Not surpassed by any variety on our list. 
Wonderfully flavored, fine for caning. Color deep 
red. Firm with excellent keeping qualities. 
Size—Temple is noted for its extra large size fruit 
with a dark green cap. It is one of the most attrac- 
tive of all strawberries. Bring top price on market. 
Strong Grower—Grows vigorous in all soils. Plants 
are fibrous rooted, having a deep feeding habit. It 
will make a good fruiting bed even under unfavor- 
able growing conditions. 
Production—Temple is from a cross of Aberdeen X 
Pairfax. Thus its parents which are outstanding for 
their vigorous growing habits have passed this along 
also to the new Temple. Foliage is resistant to leaf 
spot, and dark green. Can be classed as a free plant 
maker. Temple is an extra heavy yielding variety, 
and can be classed as frost resistant, coming into 
fruit about the same season as Dorsett, and a far 
better shipper than Dorsett. Thus we look in the 
future, that Temple will take the place of Dorsett, 
especially with the commercial growers.
