STRAWBERRIES 



4m SUNRISE (^003) 



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 

 resistant to a fifth race. They are also resistant to Ver- 

 ticillium wilt. Leaves are resistant to leaf scorch and mil- 

 dew, 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 (018) 



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. SURE- 

 CROP 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 through- 

 out the season. 



A very vigorous plant maker and producer, rivaling 

 such varieties as Pocahontas and Robinson as the best 

 bed makers of all strawberry varieties. Coupled with 

 Sunrise as a fine early berry, SURECROP as a mid- 

 season berry will deliver a MONEY-MAKING, RED 

 STELE RESISTANCE PUNCH for growers everywhere. 



GUARDIAN ^' » 



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 ex- 

 pected to be very useful in areas where heavy yielding, 

 late mid-season strawberries are desired. 



MIDWAY ' 0^^) 



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. 



REDCHIEF 



(7020) 



The berries ripen two to three days later than Surecrop. 

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

 uniform deep red color. Quality is good and is maintained 

 I 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. Red- 

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

 adapted for the "pick-your-own" market.
