The Prettiest Berries You Ever Saw 





Starbright is a cross of Chesapeake X Fairfax, combining most of the best qualities of both. The berries 

 are as good in quality as Fairfax, firmer than Chesapeake and handsomer than either of them. They have a 

 delightful aroma. For the last few years our Starbright berries have sold for higher prices than any variety 

 on our list, not even excepting Chesapeake. Starbright has everything it takes to command top prices. 



The plants have a beautiful dark green leathery foliage which is very healthy and vigorous. Starbright 

 makes plants more freely than our old strains of Chesapeake, about the same as our new strain. 



Starbright is a moderate but not a heavy cropper. On good land it has produced 4,000 to 5,000 quarts 

 per acre. If Starbright made plants a little more freely and produced as many berries as Premier or Catskill 

 we would go "all out" and say that it was the best variety of any season that we had seen in our entire 59 

 years' experience with berries. 



The berries resemble Chesapeake in many ways but it is slightly 

 earlier and the berries are sweeter and firmer with a tougher, glossier 

 skin. The berries will average fully as large as Chesapeake. 



"Starbright is being introduced as a midseason commercial and home 

 garden variety of great beauty. It is recommended for trial from Virginia 

 to New Jersey and westward to Kansas and Iowa." So states the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture official circular. Starbright has real "class". 

 It should be tried. We have found as much profit in one guart of Starbright 

 as in two quarts of many other varieties. Price list, page 23.
