^ POCAHONTAS 



Production and Popularity 



Pocahontas continues as the most popular midseason shipping berry in many 

 areas. In the last couple of years the growth and vigor of Pocahontas has been 

 slipping somewhat it seems to us. However, some of the new stocks from the 

 breeding program are going to correct this situation we hope. 



Pocahontas is adapted to every section with the exception of the deep south 

 and the far west. 



POCAHONTAS' POWERFUL POINTS 



1. Wide adaptability to climate and soil. 



2. Productivity equalling Catskill, Sparkle and other great producers. 



3. Large average size of berries, together with the bright red attractive color and 

 showiness. (See color picture center of catalog.) 



4. Its pre-eminence as a variety to set in late summer (where plants are avail- 

 able) for a partial crop the following spring. 



5. Berries are of good dessert quality (somewhat tart) and considered excellent 

 for freezing. 



6. Firmness to make an excellent shipper. 



We have a nice supply of very fine Pocahontas plants. Price list page 28. 



Sullivan Co., Tenn., April 17, 1964. "In 1961 we had 960 plants, half Catskill and half Poca- 

 hontas. We picked 1,720 quarts from these plants. Everybody thought this v/as outstanding 

 We sure were pleased — didn't lose one plant." A. D. Morrell.
