REDSTAR 



The new very late berry. Reports are coming in and it looks like a "WINNER". 



Redstar adds ten days to the season for fancy berries at the time when other 

 berries are about gone and prices generally highest. Several more days can be added 

 by planting Redstar on (1) heavy clay soils; (2) higher elevations; (3) north slopes; (4) 

 with heavy mulching. 



Plant growth of Redstar is outstanding — making plenty of strong vigorous, healthy 



plants! 



Plants are very productive. They set a tremendous crop of berries and will 

 mature them to a good large size if sufficient moisture is available. As any late variety 

 runs more risk of dry weather, good soil retentive of moisture should be used with a 

 mulch added to help conserve what water is present. Fasciation sometimes occurs but 

 has not been serious. 



Berries of Redstar are large, with the largest ones sometimes ridged as in the 

 picture. They have a bright red color which does not turn dark. Skin is tough and 

 very glossy with raised yellow seeds, making a very pretty berry which holds well and 

 sells well. Dessert quality is very good to excellent. They taste like more. 



REDSTAR REPORTS 

 "I picked a quart of berries yesterday, August 13th, from 

 a bed of 100 Redstar set in 1942." 

 Cedric A. Judkins 

 Oxford Co., Maine. Aug. 14, 1943 



"Fruited Redstar in 1942 and found it an outstanding 

 variety." 



Roy C. Gault 



Marion Co., Ind., March 13, 1943 



"Fruited Redstar this summer and were very much im- 

 pressed. First good late berry we have ever seen for this 

 climate. Good plant maker, large berries, good yielder." 

 Henry T. Schmidt 

 Cole Co., Mc. Sept. 20, 1943 



"Redstar plants made a magnificent growth and a good 

 yield. Very good quality. All up to your recommendation." 

 Dr. H. W. Haight 

 Middlesex Co., N. J. 



"Redstar is a fine berry and a heavy cropper. Had some 

 to cover entire bottom of quart berry cup." 

 James Stranzins 

 Hamilton Co.. Ohio.. Feb. 1, 1943 



You just can't overlook Redstar. It's like 

 having two berry seasons each year. The 

 extra ten to fourteen days will enable every 

 grower to grow more berries and make more 

 profits. Redstar, by extending the season, 

 enables you to handle more berries with 

 less help. It makes another bright spot in 

 the Victory Garden too. Price list, page 23.
