MID SEASON VARIETIES 



;] 



SURECROP 



For sure crops 



SURECROP is widely adapted from upper South to the North. Plants are vigorous 

 and runners develop freely under almost all conditions. SURECROP berries are 

 glossy, light red, firm of flesh, tart in flavor, of good dessert and freezing 

 quality. 



For a SURE thing, SURECROP is the variety to set! It is among the most 

 resistant of all American varieties to several strains of red stele root rot, leaf 

 scorch, and verticillium wilt. In addition, it is drought resistant. A Truly Out- 

 standing Variety! See color picture, Page 21.

The 500 SurecTop plants I ordered in 1969 were perfect. They all grew and are 

 beautiful plants. You sent many extra plants. Thanks. Walter Koehler

GUARDIAN 



Disease resistant — fine berries 



GUARDIAN has resistance to 5 strains of the red stele root rot, as well 

 as high resistance to verticillium wilt. Plants of GUARDIAN have medium vigor 

 and produce runners moderately, growing best under the matted row method. 

 GUARDIAN is a good producer of large, firm berries. The glossy surface of 

 GUARDIAN berries adds to their beauty. Berries retain their attractive appear- 

 ance during harvesting and marketing. The uniform light red color of delicious 

 GUARDIAN berries is excellent for marketing and table use. See the GUARDIAN 

 berries on page 19 and order at once. Set some plants of this new variety this 

 season — we guarantee you won't regret it! 



Interesting note from article in The Washington Post on June 11, 1970: (and this 

 article is on our own [Maryland's] Dr. George M. Darrow (Mr. Strawberry) 



"Guardian is their newest variety. One day last week a PTA group from 

 Takoma Park picked 800 pounds of Guardian for their annual Strawberry 

 Festival, with some of the berries weighing as much as two ounces each."
