REDGLOW 



The American Beauty 



Of all the named varieties tested at the New York Vegetable Research farm on 

 Long Island in 1960, Redglow was surpassed in yield only by Jerseybelle and 

 Armore. The yield for Redglow was 9,824 quarts per acre. Redglow is not considered 

 highly productive, it is not a heavy producer of plants, but it does make an adequate 

 growth of very strong, robust plants which usually are not crowded on the row. 

 Part of the secret of its higher than apparent production probably lies in the fact that 

 every berry reaches a good marketable size. Anyway, yields are generally up close 

 to those of the leaders. 



Redglow, a cross of Fairland and Tennessee Shipper, was released by the 

 U.S.D.A. in 1956. After watching it for several years as an unnamed selection we 

 were impressed by the beauty of the berries so much that we wanted the authorities 

 to name it Miss America or American Beauty. However, the name Redglow suits 

 it very well. 



The berries are a beautiful shiny red which makes them so attractive they 

 usually bring top prices on the market. The berries are firm enough to carry to 

 market in good condition and good enough in quality to bring buyers back. 



Redglow is resistant to the most common strain of red stele, the same 

 as Sparkle. Generally speaking Redglow is adapted to the middle states and is 

 suggested for trial from Virginia to Pennsylvania and even farther north. 



Redglow starts ripening only a day or two after the very earliest. The beautiful 

 berries of this variety should be a good way to start the berry season. Price List
