Surecrop for Sure Growth. Tops them all in vigor. 



SURECROP 



Ranks with Pocahontas as the most vigorous of all 



Surecrop is likely to be outstanding in any berry field because of the vigor of 

 plant growth and healthy, hardy condition of its foliage. Adapted throughout the 

 middle and northern states as far north as Maine Surecrop is one of the few good 

 varieties that has triple resistance to red stele. We have fruited Surecrop several 

 times in quantity and we like it better each year. The berries are large, mostly round 

 (see picture) bright, shiny red, firm enough to ship and very good in quality. 



Surecrop berry size holds up better than many others on account of the extreme 

 vigor arid healthiness of the foliage, which is green enough to function throughout 

 the berry season. Prices for Surecrop berries have been at or near the top all season. 



Surecrop is growing in popularity and we look to see it take its place along 

 with Catskill, Pocahontas and possibly Midway as one of the great midseason 

 berries. Price list page 32. 



Denver Co. Colo. Dec. 27, 1960. "This is a 

 report on the 100 Surecrop strawberry plants 

 I bought from you last spring. They sure grew 

 rank and strong. Some of the more vigorous 

 topped one foot high and the stems of the 

 runners were the largest and thickest I ever 

 saw on any strawberry plants." H. HOLL- 

 INGSWORTH. 



Hubbard Co. Minn. March 25, 1961. "The 



1,000 Pocahontas and 500 Surecrop you sent 

 us last year arrived in wonderful condition. 

 Perhaps the new packing system is better 

 than moss. We were well pleased. These 

 two varieties appear to be outstanding. Such 

 wonderful growth and size of plants. Outside 

 of Catskill we've never seen anything like it 

 in our 20 years of growing commercial straw- 

 berries." TOM HJERMSTAD. 



ARMORE 



The vigor of Armore plant growth and its 

 great productiveness as well as the large 

 average size of berries merit much wider 

 planting than it has had up to this time. 

 In Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky 

 as well as in some states farther east Armore 

 has produced some amazing crops. Dr. Dar- 

 row, formerly of the U.S.D.A., in his success- 

 ful "Pick Your Own" project of more than 20 

 acres near Washington, D. C, rates Armore 

 as the most profitable of the late varieties. 

 Mr. Robert D. Price of Huron Co. Ohio wrote 

 us on March 23, 1961, "Armore berries have 

 consistently been our best yielders and best 

 sellers. " 



Armore is generally rated high as a freez- 

 ing berry as well as having the size and 



attractiveness for a good fresh market berry. 

 Armore is widely adapted and should be 

 tried in all areas except in the extreme north 

 and extreme south. 



The berries are medium to light in color, 

 darkening somewhat on holding. Quality is 

 good and they are firm enough to ship mod- 

 erate distances; firmer than Premier and 

 Sparkle, not as firm as Blakemore and Tennes- 

 see Beauty. The first Armore berries are 

 large, irregular, wedge-shaped; the later ones 

 usually round-conic. 



Armore produces plenty of runners for a 

 good fruiting bed. For the territory mentioned 

 we don't see how you could go wrong with 

 Armore as a large, productive, late kind.
