A Southern commercial variety 
EARLIBELLE was released last year as an early commercial variety for North 
Carolina and South. Although the season was more toward mid than early 
with us here in Maryland, results were good and we do not hesitate to rec- 
ommend EARLIBELLE for its quality berries. Berries are medium large, 
bright red, glossy and firm, with tart flavor to make them good for processing. 
Plant production is good. EARLIBELLE plants are smaller than some 
varieties in size but run so freely they must be thinned for best production. 
I FLORIDA 90 
High aroma, large fruit 
FLORIDA 90, with its vigorous plant production, large fruit size and excellent 
shipping characteristics, has just about taken over the Florida acreage. Bright 
red berries and high aroma make this variety extremely popular with North- 
ern trade. 
Leaf spot and leaf scorch are still a problem with FLORIDA 90 and we 
continue to use copper in our spray schedule. 
HEADLINER 
* New and big 
j HEADLINER is a good producer of leaf spot resistant plants. It is in the 
early ripening category and replaced the Klonmore variety in the deep South 
because of heavier production of larger berries. HEADLINER is not well 
adapted North of Louisiana and one drawback appears to be susceptibility 
to leaf variegation. 
I have been getting strawberry plants from you for 50 years. I am getting too old to grow 
many. 1 am 74 years old but I grow a few. Always received good plants, true to name.
