REDSTAR 



The Best Real Late and the Latest Real Good Berry 



Redstar berries are large and wedge shaped, later becoming mostly round- 

 conic. They are fine in quality with an attractive bright red color which darkens 

 v^v little on holding. 



One problem with Redstar is fasciation, which occurs when 



several fruiting stems apparently combine forming a broad flat 



stem. The berries become broadened and contorted, making them 



less desirable. This condition still exists to some 



extent with our new virus-free stocks, but much 



less than formerly. The berries average large 



in size, are firm enough 



to ship well and attractive 



enough to sell well. 



It is easy to get a fine 

 fruiting row with healthy, 

 beautiful foliage with vi- 

 rus-free plants. Because of 

 its lateness, Redstar should 

 be groY/n where ample 

 moisture is available at 

 fruiting time, either from 

 moist soil or irrigation; be- 

 cause of its lateness in 

 blooming, Redstar is never 

 killed by a late frost so 

 that you are sure to get a 

 crop to extend the season 

 for fancy fruit. 



A home gardener can 

 stretch the season feeding 

 the family fine desserts 

 after other berries are 

 finished. A commercial 

 grower can handle a far 

 greater volume of berries 

 with a given amount of 

 help. Redstar is the best 

 real late berry and the 

 latest real good berry.

AMBROSIA 



Ambrosia produces heavy crops of large, attractive, light colored berries. 

 Quality is only fair as most people consider it quite tart. Ambrosia makes a 

 strong, vigorous growth but it is somewhat susceptible to leaf spot. The lateness 

 of Ambrosia bloom means you always have berries to sell, and the lateness of 

 Ambrosia ripening means they usually sell well. Price list page 28.
