POCAHONTAS 



W Powerhouse for Growth and Production 



Beautiful Pocohontas plants 

 like these will please you. 



Pocahontas is an amazing berry. Its brilliant performance during the last few 

 years has caused it to jump in popularity so that with us it leads our sales on all 

 varieties except Catskill. This is largely due to the fact that Pocahontas does well 

 over a wide area which extends from North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky 

 north into Canada and from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rocky Mountains — every- 

 where except the far south and the far west. 



The outstanding achievement of Pocahontas is due to its excellence in so many 

 ways: 



1. One of the miost vigorous in plant growth. 



2. Productivity equalling Catskill, Sparkle and the other great producers. 



3. Large average size of berries, together with the bright red attractive color and 

 showiness. 



4. Firmness good enough to make an excellent shipper. 



5. Growing popularity as a processing berry. 



6. Its pre-eminence as a berry to set in late summer (where plants are available) 

 for a partial crop the following spring. 



7. Wide adaptability and its great productiveness. 



Outstanding yields of Pocahontas from official plantings have been received 

 from Virginia, Kansas, Kentucky, New York, Ohio and other states. Comments about 

 Pocahontas from individual growers follow: 



Somerset Co. Pa., March 13, 1961 '1 planted 300 Pocahontas plants in 1959 and 

 picked over 550 quarts in 1960. Hope for continued success. This year I am increas- 

 ing my order to 500 Pocahontas." A. L. KRITSCHGAU. 



Nansemond Co. Va., April 18, 1961. "My 200 

 Pocohontas strawberry plants I got from you 

 last November are beautiful — every one lived. 

 1 am very proud of them." ELLEN M. PLASKIE. 



Cabell Co. W. Va., Ian. 18, 1961. "I have 

 been growing berries from your plants 

 for four years-^Catskill, Sparkle, Tennessee 



Beauty and Pocohontas. Although all four 

 varieties are very good Pocahontas is the best 

 all-around berry I have ever seen, much bet- 

 ter than Catskill. In my location they are not 

 a mid-season variety. I picked the first 40 

 quarts on May 15, 1960. 1 picked a total of 

 1202 quarts from 1,000 Pocahontas plants."
