How to Choose the Best Strawberry Varieties 



Your choice of strawberry varieties depends, to a large extent, on the purpose for which they are 

 to be grown. Some varieties are especially good for fresh eating, while others are quite tart, but good for 

 long-distance shipping. Some are superior for freezing, and others are extra good for preserves. Some 

 varieties will give fine results in nearly any soil, while others require very good growing conditions. Some 

 varieties are resistant to diseases while others are susceptible. Below is a list of general strawberry char- 

 acteristics when grown under normal conditions. It must be remembered that excess fertihty and other 

 conditions can greatly alter strawberry qualities. Thus, we strongly recommend that you try several 

 of the most desirable varieties and decide which ones are best for your particular location. Complete 

 descriptions of all our strawberry varieties are given in this catalog.
