New Strawberries

A new U.S.D.A. introduction being the result of a cross between Premier and 

 Redheart. This is an extraordinary berry that is beautiful, large and produc jve.

 observers considered that it surpassed for appearance, size and productiveness 

 any other variety of Strawberry in cultivation. The berries are excellent in qual- 

 ity but slightly tart in flavor. It is recommended for general cultivation through- 

 out the Eastern and Central states as far west as Arkansas.
