SURECROP for Sure Crops 



Surecrop is widely adapted from the upper south through the middle states 

 and into the far north. It is one of our relatively new varieties and its popularity 

 has been growing by leaps and bounds. Among the reasons for the rapid rise 

 of Surecrop to one of our sales leaders are the following: The plants are extremely 

 vigorous, producing runners very freely and have bluff, healthy foliage which 

 functions well through the berry season. The plants are quite productive, ranking 

 very high in total yield in almost all tests that have been made. As Mrs. D. D. 

 Swickard of Jefferson Co., Ohio, wrote us on June 2, 1964: "For production and 

 quality I like the Surecrop. They produced when others failed and the size, qual- 

 ity, flavor are excellent. We have plants that were not plowed under (third year 

 crop) and they are producing almost as good as the first and second year." 



Surecrop berries are large, fairly round and shiny red. (See color picture 



inside back cover.) They are very good in quality, firm enough to ship and the 



size of the berries holds up well. Surecrop is suitable for freezing and some of 

 our customers think that it is one of the best for freezing. 



Surecrop is one of the best varieties that has resistance to red stele and is 

 the best variety that has triple resistance to this disease. In any berry field Sure- 

 crop will be outstanding because of the vigor of plant growth and the healthy, 

 hardy foliage. Surecrop is well worth growing for its own merits and enables 

 those who have red stele in their soils to stay in the business of raising fancy 

 quality berries. We consider Surecrop to be one of the great midseason berries. 



We have an excellent supply of beautiful Surecrop plants. Price list page 28. 



Shenandoah Co., Virginia, Feb. 11, 1964. "From the 1,000 Surecrop plants I bought from 

 you in 1962 not one died. As soon as they arrived I put them in a refrigerator, for the 

 ground was too wet to plant them at once. When we picked our first crop in 1963 the patch 

 yielded 1,635 quarts and I think if it had not been so dry we could have picked more. This 

 season I would like to buy 10,000 Surecrop." David Sanders.
