Introduced by the N. C. Experiment Station in 10.~»2. this variety has Itecome very popular 

 in North Carolina and as far North as Maryland. We have not seen it growing in any othei- 

 sections, however it is (piite promising for the Southeastern and Central Atlantic States. It 

 ont-yi(^lded both Massey and Blakemore in the AVallace section. 



Berries are large, average larger than Massey. ripens early, and have been very produc- 

 tive. Have a light red color and makes a very attractive package, bringing top market 

 l)rices at all markets. 



AVe have a nice supply of Virus Free plants to offer this spring. The pai'ent stock was 

 supplied by the V. S. Dept. of Agriculture. They have made wonderful beds even in the dry 

 weather. This variety is truly worthy of a trial. Phmt some this spring.
