EARLIBELLE 



The Crops Research Division of the U.S.D.A. and the N.C. Agricuhural Ex- 

 periment Station have released a new variety named Earlibelle (N.C. 2486). The 

 berries are uniform, long-conic in shape, with a surface glossy and firm; the 

 flavor is tart. Earlibelle plants are small but run so freely that beds frequently 

 need thinning. Earlibelle has proven more productive than Albritton, which is one 

 parent. It is recommended as an early commercial variety for North Carolina 

 and south. Price list page 28.

STELEMASTER 



Stelemaster is a fine early variety in addition to its resistance to three forms 

 of the red stele disease. It is a vigorous grower and quite productive. The berries 

 are of a good average size, coming about the same time as Blakemore. They are 

 medium red, glossy and generally uniform and smooth. The flesh is light red, 

 firm, juicy, with a slightly tart flavor. It is not recommended for freezing. If you 

 have red stele in your soil jt will pay you to remember Stelemaster. Price list page

REDCOAT 



Redcoat is an introduction from Ottawa, Canada, which ripens in the Dunlap 

 season. It is productive, very attractive in appearance and of good quality. In 

 tests at Kentville it ranked ahead of Sparkle and behind Robinson in yield per 

 acre. The cnief objection to Redcoat is its susceptibility to verticillium wilt. Price 

 list page 28. 



SENATOR DUNLAP 



Dunlap is a fine old variety that was found in Illinois in 1890. It is grown 

 principally in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and 

 South Dakota. 



Dunlap berries are medium size and not too firm. They are very good as 

 fresh fruit and rated as average for processing. The berries are a bright, rich 

 red clear through. 



Dunlap plants are vigorous growers but quite susceptible to leaf spot. We 

 use copper in our dusting schedule to combat this problem. We have a nice 

 supply of beautiful Dunlap plants this season. Price list page 28.
