JERSEYBELLE 



Jerseybelle berries are very fancy (see color picture inside front cover) and 

 so outstanding for beauty and size that they never fail to bring the top price. It 

 should be picked at just the right time and handled carefully and promptly. When 

 picked closely, while the berries are still bright red and before they get a deep 

 red color, it is firm enough for retail trade and over-night shipment. The berries 

 have a shiny skin with a tough surface and rather prominent yellow seeds. The 

 cap is large and showy, which is a sales asset. The flavor of the fruit is best 

 described as mild, even becoming bland when fully ripe. 



With virus free stocks Jerseybelle has become one of our better growers and 

 makes a good amount of runners under nearly all conditions. Plants are vigorous 

 and remain free from disease although there is a tendency toward leaf spot which 

 can easily be controlled with copper. 



For beauty and size, try Jerseybelle. Price list page 28.

ARMORE 



Armore is a variety suitable for both commercial and home garden use 

 because the berries not only rate well for freezing but also have a fine dessert 

 quality. The berries will darken if held for some time. The berries are large, 

 irregular, wedge-shaped, with light flesh of medium firmness. They remind one 

 somewhat in appearance of Catskill with later berries being of a round-conic 

 shape and not as irregular as the first ones. 



The plant growth is vigorous and you always have plenty of runners for 

 a good fruiting bed. Armore is quite productive and widely adapted. For a large, 

 productive, late variety you cannot go wrong with Armore in the middle states.

ERIE 



Erie is a cross of Sparkle and Premier introduced by the New York State 

 Experiment Station at Geneva. With virus free plants of this variety you are sure 

 of plenty of plants for a good fruiting row. Erie makes strong, vigorous plants 

 with deep green foliage. Fruit color is medium red, bright and attractive. Erie is 

 fair in quality with a moderately tough skin. Erie ripens fairly late, along with 

 Sparkle. Our plants this yebr of Erie are beautiful. Price list page 28. 



ALBRITTON 



Albritton is best adapted to the coastal region of North Carolina and to a 

 limited degree to the coastal areas of Virginia and Maryland. The plants make 

 a very vigorous growth and are quite productive when grown in this area. If you 

 move north you do not get the high yields obtained in North Carolina. 



Albritton berries are beautiful. We know of no other strawberry that has 

 more class and they demand a premium price in markets where they are avail- 

 able. The berries in color are vivid red, turning to deeper red when fully ripe. 

 They are usually glossy, uniform in shape with exceptional flavor and large size. 

 Albritton is not generally considered a good freezing berry. 



We have a nice supply of some very beautiful Albritton plants that will pro- 

 duce for you. Price list page 28.
