EARLIDA\A/N 



Earliest of all — and ever so good 



EARLIDAWN just cannot be overlooked by any grower! It is well adapted from 

 North to South. EARLIDAWN plants need good soil and plenty of moisture for 

 best results. EARLIDAWN is one of the very few varieties we can "brag" on 

 for frost resistance; blooms are well protected by short flower stems. A word 

 of caution, however; if red stele or verticillium wilt are known to be present 

 in your soil, Earlidawn is not the variety to set because of susceptibility to both 

 diseases. 



Berries of EARLIDAWN are delightful, delicious, delectable — large, glossy, 

 and vivid red. Firmness and tartness make EARLIDAWN berries excellent for 

 marketing, freezing, and preserving. For table use — it is one of the very best. 

 See the glory of Earlidawn in color picture facing page — and order now! 



MIDLAND 



"Freezer Queen" 



MIDLAND has everything the grower looks for in a great variety; productive 

 plants, beautiful berries. 



MIDLAND plants are large and healthy when grown in good soil and given 

 excellent care. As the name implies, this variety is best adapted to the middle 

 states — but when irrigation is used to combat frost, it can be grown well in 

 the northern states. 



MIDLAND berries ripen early — just a little later than Earlidawn. They are 

 red right through, very firm, and average large in size. MIDLAND does best 

 on roadside stands, home gardens, or pick-your-own as darkening of berries on 

 holding prevents them from being extra good for distant shipments. They are 

 excellent for freezing, however, and you should have some in your garden. See 

 facing page for color picture of the beautiful Midland berries — and send in 

 your order at once. 



Dear Sir; I am taking this opportunity of expressing my sincere thanks for your 

 prompt shipment of the 50 Redglow plants as a replacement for the 50 Midland 

 sent in error on my 1969 order. Inasmuch as I did not return the Midland plants, 

 you were not obligated to send me additional plants without charging your 

 regular catalog price. Your loss was my gain, incidentally; both varieties grew 

 exceptionally well and I nou' have an additional two one-hundred foot rows in 

 cultivation. 



Am enclosing order for 50 Pocahontas and 25 New Marlate and my personal 

 check to cover. 



1 can attest to the correctness of the statement made by many of your exuberant 

 customers; — to-wit: "I have not lost a plant". 1 too have experienced this 

 phenomena. On several of previous plantings of 50 or more of your plants, 100% 

 greu'. Thanking you again for the extra plants. 



Sincerely, Joe Stockinger Arma, Kans.
