ROBINSON 
Old faithful for size and production 
ROBINSON is a late bearing variety best adapted to Northern locations. 
ROBINSON plants, while small, have the advantage of healthy foliage and 
can make a good plant bed under almost any conditions. ROBINSON has 
built-in tolerance to virus diseases. The berries are large (some say the very 
largest), light red in color and attractive, although not considered firm enough 
for distant shipment. We have noted that Midway is replacing ROBINSON in 
some areas but for the Northern grower interested mainly in size, ROBINSON 
is still the variety to consider. 
Large size berries from vigorous plants 
JERSEYBELLE is a great favorite as a late variety in New Jersey and neigh- 
boring areas. JERSEYBELLE plants are vigorous and produce runners well. 
JERSEYBELLE berries are of large average size, good color when picked at 
proper time, with pretty caps. The skin is somewhat tender and this prevents 
JERSEYBELLE from being a good distance shipping berry. JERSEYBELLE is 
not considered particularly good for freezing but berries are excellent for 
fresh market, pick-your-own, and table use. 
Bright caps — firm — good shipper 
We consider TENNESSEE BEAUTY one of the best varieties for late berries 
in the middle states. Plants of TENNESSEE BEAUTY are vigorous, making 
runners freely — calling for some thinning to conserve this vitality for berry 
production. TENNESSEE BEAUTY has resistance to some foliage diseases, 
a point to be considered. The berries of TENNESSEE BEAUTY plants are a 
delight to see, with bright caps topping the medium to large, glossy red fruit. 
TENNESSEE BEAUTY berries are firm and ship well. They are very good for 
freezing and preserving. To know it is to like it — and we believe growers 
who set TENNESSEE BEAUTY this year will feel the same way at time of 
harvest. 
I would just like to tell you how the strawberries I ordered almost five years ago have done. 
I ordered 100 plants of different kinds for a backyard garden. Well in the last five years they 
have produced so many strawberries it is fantastic. This past summer they just about wore 
themselves out. So we decided to turn them in this fall. We are ordering only 50 plants this 
time because for a backyard garden they will be more than enough. When we ordered 100 
we didn't know how many they would produce — well, we found out and were giving them 
away to the neighborhood. Not one of them died of disease. Many people have asked where 
the plants came from, so the people around here know about AJJens.
