ROBINSON 



Old faithful for size and production 



ROBINSON is a late bearing variety best adapted to Northern locations. 

 ROBINSON plants, while small, have the advantage of healthy foliage and can 

 make a good plant bed under almost any conditions. ROBINSON has built-in 

 tolerance to virus diseases. The berries are large (some say the very largest], 

 light red in color and attractive, although not considered firm enough for 

 distant shipment. We have noted that Midway is replacing ROBINSON in some 

 areas but for the Northern grower interested mainly in size, ROBINSON is still 

 the variety to consider. See color picture, page 27. 



Every woman has a recipe she treasures. Giving such a recipe to others is a 

 friendly gesture and Mrs. Frieda D. Lemke, of Pauling, Iowa, delighted us by 

 sending her favorite: 



Wash and hull the berries, cut in half. Make only one batch at a time. 



4 cups'Of strawberries 



4 tablespoons vinegar 



Boil 6 minutes with lid on. 



Add 4 cups sugar slowly. Stir until sugar is dissolved. 



Boil 6 minutes, pour into stone crock. Stir often, let stand 24 hours. 



Put in jars cold. Seal.

High flavor — good freezer 



FLETCHER is "high, wide, and handsome" — plants of FLETCHER grow tall — 

 with vigor. Plants are winter hardy and do best in the colder climates of our 

 northern states. 



FLETCHER produces heavy crops of flavorful berries. They are of good size, 

 bright red, and firm enough for marketing. FLETCHER berries are a delight to 

 eat — and fine for freezing. Our FLETCHER picture on page 31 gives you an idea 

 of what to expect when you set FLETCHER this season. Order now to reserve 

 your plants!
