 BEAUTY 



T/ie Mo/fey Maker 



Tennessee Beauty is one of the most beautiful and productive of all varieties as well 

 as being on the average our most profitable kind. Our yield of 12,700 quarts per acre 

 in 1 954 still stands as a record for this section. 



Although Tennessee Beauty was originated and introduced by the Tennessee Station 

 it is proving to have a fairly wide adaptability. From the first it was one of the most 

 profitable and most productive in Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia and other 

 lov/er middle states. Having a southern name, tests farther north were not as prompt 

 as they might have been. Recently we have had reports of outstanding results from 

 Tennessee Beauty in New York, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and West 

 Virginia. 



Outstanding yields in Tennessee and Kentucky are the rule. In their 300 crate per 

 acre clubs some years all the records are made with Tennessee Beauty. In all years 

 most of the records are made with this variety. 



In 1955 Kentucky virus free yield records showed the following: 



Tennessee Beauty 608.8 crates per acre 



Pocahontas 520.9 crates per acre 



Catskill 467.9 crates per acre 



Sparkle 466.1 crates per acre 



Dixieland 431.5 crates per acre 



All of these far outyielded Premier and Blakemore in those tests. 



All our Tennessee Beauty plants are from virus free sources from which you can 

 confidently expect full fruiting rows of heavy production. The berries are among the 

 most beautiful of all with a large light green cap adding to their beauty. The berries 

 average medium to large in size, where adequate moisture is available — smaller under 

 dry conditions and very thick beds. Tennessee Beauties are excellent shipping berries, 

 firm enough so that if bad weather or shortage of help delays picking for a day or two 

 there need be very little loss of fruit. Tennessee Beauties are among the best for freez- 

 ing and processing. The berries are excellent in quality^not quite as good as Fairfax 

 but better than Premier, Catskill and Robinson. 



In this area if we were limited to one berry to plant for profit it would have to be 

 Tennessee Beauty. Price list page 32.
