^^ VERY LATE VARIETIES^^^S 



MARLATE 



Late, Large and New 



MARLATE plants are vigorous and produce runners freely. 



Berries of MARLATE are round-conic in shape. They are smooth, bright, and 

 ever so attractive. Flesh is firm and size holds large throughout the harvest 

 season. MARLATE is one of the easy pickers since fruit stems snap so quickly 

 and cleanly. Berries ripen several days later than Jerseybelle. 



All in all, we think MARLATE is just v^hat the doctor ordered for growers 

 in the middle states who are looking for an extra good very late variety. Order 

 now and be sure to have plants of MARLATE to set this season. See color 

 picture of the new, good and late MARLATE on page 28. 



Beautiful foliage, good berries 



REDSTAR, thanks to its virus free heritage, produces healthy, beautiful foliage 

 on vigorous plants. The lateness of the REDSTAR season makes ample moisture 

 a major requirement — while lateness in blooming prevents late frost kills, 

 thereby extending the season for you as a grower. REDSTAR berries are large, 

 medium firm, tart but very good in flavor and quality, and bright red in color. 

 REDSTAR is resistant to leaf spot and scorch and is tolerant to virus but is not 

 resistant to red stele and we would not advise setting REDSTAR in your land 

 if you have any reason to believe red' stele may be present. For the home 

 gardener in the North who wishes to extend his berry season, we say try 

 REDSTAR. See the beautiful color picture of REDSTAR on hack cover. 



Large and lovely — ever so productive 



VESPER is the offspring of Utah Shipper and Jerseybelle and like Jerseybelle, 

 it is a very productive variety. VESPER plants are vigorous and make runners 

 well. Berries are rich red and glossy, large in size, with lovely cap of green. 

 VESPER ripens later than Jerseybelle and is an excellent variety to extend 

 the season for Northern growers. VESPER is susceptible to verticillium wilt 

 and leaf disease and care must be taken to guard against attack. We consider 

 VESPER a fine variety for the Northern states but cannot recommend it for 

 growing south of New Jersey since it tends to become too soft in the South. See 

 VESPER in color on page 31.
