LATE VARrETieS 



^ 



Superb quality — real money maker 



For a late variety in the Northern States, SPARKLE leads the field! SPARKLE 

 plants are so vigorous under good conditions, the bed must be thinned out to 

 prevent overcrowding which may reduce fruit size. Plants are resistant to one 

 strain of red stele root disease and the lateness in bearing prevents frost 

 injury. As to the berries, they are superb in quality, rich crimson red and 

 pretty as a picture. SPARKLE berries really do sparkle on the vine — and 

 average medium to large in size. They are excellent for freezing or preserving 

 — and are a real money maker on the fresh market. See color picture, opposite 

 page- 

 In 1968 we planted 250 plants each of 4 varieties for a small "pick your own" 

 patch — in the Lake region of northern Indiana. Pickers harvested the following 

 amounts Jast summer: Catskill — 938 qts. EarJidawn — 508 



Sparkle — 858 Fletcher — 927 



These were produced without irrigation hut we had very adequate rainfall.

Sirs: Am ordering 500 of your Sparkle plants. I know they are a northern berry 

 and we came from the north, so we tried them here and they do real well. In 

 fact, I never had any that yielded better than the Sparkle I had last year. Such 

 big berries — everybody carried on about them. Hope you can fill my order.

Dear Sir: We want to order strawberries this year and would like the same kind 

 we last ordered which was probably in 1968. I think one variety was Sparkle 

 but can't remember the other. Our crop this year was so good, the size of the 

 berries and the quantity was the talk of the neighborhood.

Large size berries from vigorous plants 



JERSEYBELLE is a great favorite as a late variety in New Jersey and neigh- 

 boring areas. JERSEYBELLE plants are vigorous and produce runners well. 

 JERSEYBELLE berries are of large average size, good color when picked at 

 proper time, with pretty caps. The skin is somewhat tender and this prevents 

 JERSEYBELLE from being a good distance shipping berry. JERSEYBELLE is 

 not considered particularly good for freezing but berries are excellent for 

 fresh market, pick-your-own, and table use. See color picture, page 21.
