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. 



• Deep Feeder • Drought Resistant 

 • Good Plant Maker • Heavy Yielder 



• Quality — Not surpassed by any variety on our list 

 Wonderfully flavored, fine for canning. 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 

 Fairfax. 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.
