TENNESSEE BEAUTY 



One of th« most beautiful and most productive of all strawberries; by far the best of all the 

 Tennessee varieties and fast becoming one of the leaders of all varieties. 



Tennessee Beauty is easy to grow, very firm, excellent for freesing and very good in quality. 



Tennessee Beauty territory extends from about central Ohio and Pennsylvania south to Alabama 

 and Georgia. In this territory it is a real money maker. Like any midesason to late highly productive 

 berry Terinessee Beauty needs plenty of moisture and will respond wonderfully to high fertilisation. 

 Given a fairly good strawberry soil and plenty of moisture, Tennessee Beauty is really a wonder. In 

 1981 every member of the "300 Crate per acre Club" in the state of Tennessee made his record with 

 Tennessee Beauty. 



The bright red color darkens very little on holding. This, together with its firmnesi, makes Tennessee 

 Beauty an excellent shipping and market berry. 11 ripe berries cannot be picked today they are generally in 

 good shape for shipping day after tomorrow or even later. In the territory described we think no combination 

 of varieties could beat Blakemore early and Tennessee Beauty medium to late as commercial shipping berries, 

 which are also most highly sought after for freesing and other processing. This combination is safe because, as 

 stated above, if shortage of help or bad 

 weather cause delay in picking you can 



usually save the crop because the berries ^..^t^^ag^^^.^ .- ■ ■■ " ■ Jt m 



are firm enough to wait. 



Tennessee Beauty makes plenty of 

 plants, probably slightly less in total 

 number and slightly larger in average 

 size as compared with Blakemore. We 

 are as much "hipped up" about Ten- 

 nessee Beauty as about any variety that 

 has been introduced for many a year. We 

 have a nice lot of superb Tennessee 

 Beauty plants. No matter how good your 

 other midseason varieties are you should 

 try some of these. Price list page 31.

 *'I am sending a report on 17 varieties. 

 My Tennessee Beauty has done the best 

 of all so far. They are putting out many 

 runners, the plants are healthy and 

 vigorous, and the growth is fine. While 

 they were planted early this spring they 

 are bearing quite a good crop and my 

 family is enjoying berries daily now. I 

 know you recommend not to try to gather 

 a crop the first year, but the plants seem 

 to be trying so hard to bear that I thought 

 I would take a few."

 ceived from you in 1950, 1,000 Catskill strawberry 

 plants. I picked over 900 quarts in 1951.

 2500 Catskill strawberry plants came through in 

 very fine shape today. They are the best plants I have 

 ever ordered from anywhere. Thanks a lot."
