 growers pick as high as S. (>()(» quarts per acre and a re- 

 ported average of between 3.000 to .j.OOO quarts per acre.

 fresh market l>erry of medium to large size and good fiavor. 

 It should be picked regularly to prevent over-ripening and 

 darkening.

"Plaiit.s referred to as "virus-free" in this catalog have been field grown bv us from virus fre<' 

 foundation stock furnished by the U. S. Department of Agriculture Bureau of Plant Industry. Soils 

 and Agricultural Engineering, Beltsville, Marvland. Our field-groAvn stock has been dusted with 

 parathion to control aphids which transmit "the virus diseases. It lias also In-en grown at consider- 

 able distances from any other strawberry plants. Since viruses do not produce clear-cut symptoms 

 in most straAvi)erry varieties, but simply weaken and devitalize the plants, no guarant(^e can be made 

 that these plants are 100 percent free of viruses. Because of the measures that we have used to 

 protect these plants from virus infection. Ave believe them to be substantially virus-free."
