REDGLOW The American Beauty 



Redglow berries are a beautiful shiny red and so attractive that there are no 

 varieties that can top it in beauty and quality. The berries ripen at the same time 

 as Midland and are rated very good for freezing. 



Plant growth and runner production under most conditions are quite good. 

 Redglow is resistant to the most common strain of red stele and is adapted to the 

 middle states. Both its earliness and exceptional beauty bring the top dollar for 

 this fine variety. 



This is an excellent variety with which to start the berry season. Price list

\/ DIXIELAND firm and Beautiful 



Dixieland has a wide climatic adaptability which extends from Canada to 

 Mexico. The berries are quite tart, light in color, very firm, big and beautiful. They 

 are very popular for shipping and processing and will hold on the vines the best 

 of any variety in our experience. 



Customarily Dixieland makes luxuriant plant growth of exceptional vigor. 

 However, Dixieland is in trouble. A genetic variegation has developed in the 

 variety known as "Spring Yellows" or "June Yellows". Leaf variegation is a non- 

 infectious disease caused by a defect in the hereditary background of the variety, 

 and it is not a virus. There are no known sources of Dixieland free of yellows. 

 Symptoms of yellows appear as the green of new leaves becomes pale and 

 streaked with yellow in the spring. This may disappear during warm weather 

 and show up again in the fall or the next spring. This varies with the season. 

 Plants become stunted and weak, and badly affected plants are unproductive and 

 die prematurely. Plants affected never recover and the variegation is passed on 

 to the runner plants. 



We know of no cure for yellows. For years we have cautioned our customers 

 regarding this problem. During this time we have tested and rogued the best 

 stock we could obtain. We have continued this rogueing and still feel that we 

 can definitely state that we have as good a planting stock of Dixieland as can 

 be bought and certainly better than most. This stock is neither free from yellows 

 nor is it virus free. We do feel that for the grower who wants Dixieland that our 

 stock is the best bet. We do not wish to make any guarantee as to the per- 

 formance of Dixieland but our experience has been that with rogueing and 

 maintaining only one year fruit beds this variety is still satisfactory. Price list
