MIDWAY 



Midseason-Middle States 



Midway, a cross of Dixieland and Temple, has become one of the more popu- 

 lar midseason varieties since its introduction by the U.S.D.A. in 1960. The berries 

 will average medium to large in size and maintain the good size throughout the 

 picking season. In appearance Midway berries are a uniform deep red color (see 

 color picture center of catalog) with a glossy surface and yellow seeds. Berries 

 are firm, with an irregular to blunt conic shape and of good dessert quality. 



Midway plant growth is robust and healthy and the plants are extremely 

 productive. Midway is satisfactory for freezing and the resistance of Midway to 

 the common strain of red stele will increase its effectiveness in sections where 

 this is a problem. 



Letters from our customers indicate great enthusiasm for Midway, particu- 

 larly in Michigan. Indications are that Midway's best area of adaptability is on 

 heavier soils or under irrigation on lighter soils from the middle states west to 

 Indiana. Our Midway plants are beautiful. Try some. Price list page 28. 



Allegheny Co., Pa., Jan. 22, 1965. "Having wonderful results from Midway plants, 200 plants 

 produced 344 quarts in 1964; most uniform size berries I have ever had with about 90% sale- 

 able." Dale Kifer.

EMPIRE 



A Urge P reductive f High Ctuality Berry for tfje Nortfj 



Empire is one of the fine varieties from the New York State Experiment Sta- 

 •i tion that has done well in most of the northern states from the Atlantic to the 

 Mississippi. The berries are large, bright and attractive, of better quality but 

 about the same firmness as Premier. Empire berries are not considered good for 

 freezing and the lack of firmness means that they should be handled quickly, 

 kept picked closely and should not be grown too far south. With the right climate 

 Empire will show its characteristic strong vigorous growth and will produce light 

 attractive berries of good size that are easy to market profitably. 



We have an adequate supply of plants of this variety. Price list page 28.
