Plants referred to as 
been field-grown from virus-free foundation stock fur- 
nished by U. S. D. A. Plants have been dusted with 
parithion to control aphids which transmit the virus dis- 
ease. Since virus do not produce clear-cut symptoms in 
most strawberry varieties but simply weaken and devital- 
ize the plants, no guarantee can be made that these 
plants are 100% free of virus. Because of the measures 
that have been taken to protect these plants from virus 
infection, believe them to be substantially virus-free.

~\ FAIRFAX, Early 
The Sugar-Saving Berry 
Color is a deep, full red, its rich, sweet flavor 
brings buyers back for more. Fairfax berries are 
exceptionally firm, making it an ideal shipper. 
Superior to all for home use, equal to any for 
commercial planting. 
Bo CATS K I L Ll. Midseason 
A midseason berry that will produce the largest 
crops of bigger berries of any midseason variety. 
Catskill is entirely satisfactory as to firmness, 
quality, color and attractiveness, season of ripen- 
ing and climatic adaptation. The highest record 
of marketable berries was made with this variety. 
In shipping respects it ranks with Chesapeake 
and Lupton. It is rated equally as attractive as 
Fairfax or Dorsett. The berries are borne on 
rather long fruiting stems which makes it easier 
to get at in picking. 
“RED: STAR) Per ger ee 
This is the other new one by the U.S.D.A., 
and a cross between the Chesapeake and Fair- 
fax. This is the late one. Berries are large, and 
ore borne on short, stout stems that stay well 
under the leaves, thus protecting them from late 
frosts. Makes a good fruiting row, and plenty 
of money can be made from growing this one, 
as late berries always bring a Rion price.
