ROBINSON 



/I Money Maker 

 for Northern Growers 



Robinson is primarily a berry 

 for the north. The fruit in the 

 southern and even lower middle 

 states is not firm enough for ship- 

 ping and not as good in quality 

 as that grown in the north. There 

 have been good reports on Robin- 

 son from nearly all the northern 

 states with some enthusiastic sup- 

 porters as far south as Missouri 

 and northern Virginia. 



Robinson berries are usually 

 rather soft and not considered 

 very high in quality, although 

 there are many who do not agree with this and feel that Robinson quality is 

 good. In this section of Maryland Robinson has been quite profitable in dry 

 years but in wet years it is so soft that even with close picking there is consid- 

 erable loss of fruit. I 



The plant growth of Robinson is nearly always good. It seldom fails to make 

 a good fruiting row even under adverse conditions. The plants individually are 

 small but they do bear big berries. (See color picture inside back cover.) Robin- 

 son foliage is completely healthy and even on weak plants we have never seen 

 any foliage injury or disease. 



For a berry that is sure to grow, nothing will surpass Robinson in the north. 

 It usually makes too many runner plants so that some thinning is necessary. As 

 a processor Robinson has not ranked high, but is accepted widely in areas where 

 large quantities of Robinson are produced. Profit is the motive for planting Rob- 

 inson. Despite its weak points it will soon be planted widely by many growers 

 who remember the dollars that rolled in with Robinson. Price list page 28. 



ALBRITTON 



The Carolina Beauty 



Albritton is best adapted to the coastal region of North Carolina and to a 

 limited degree to the coastal areas of Virginia and Maryland. The plants make 

 a very vigorous growth and are quite productive when grown in this area. If you 

 move north you do not get the high yields obtained in North Carolina. 



Albritton berries are beautiful. We know of no other strawberry that has 

 more class and they demand a premium price in markets where they are avail- 

 able. The berries in color are vivid red, turning to deeper red when fully ripe. 

 They are usually glossy, uniform in shape with exceptional flavor and large size. 

 Albritton is not generally considered a good freezing berry. 



We have a limited supply of some very beautiful Albritton plants that will 

 produce for you. Price list page 28.
