MIDLAND 



With Irrigation it has Everything 



Midland has most of the attributes of a great variety — beauty, 



size, color, quality, productiveness, firmness and freezing excellence. 



^As the name should suggest. Midland is best adapted to the middle 



states. You can go north if irrigation is available to combat 



frosts, and you can go a little south if irrigation is available to 



help get a good fruiting row. 



Midland berries are very early, ripening at the same 

 time as Premier and Blakemore and slightly after Earlidawn. 

 They have a bright red color which extends clear 

 through the berry. The berries are quite firm and aver- 

 age large in size. When the berries ore first picked 

 they are bright red but they will darken somewhat on 

 holding. For frUit-stands, local trade, home gardens 

 and "Pick Your Own" projects this is not 

 serious but it definitely is a handicap for the 

 wholesale markets. The berries are excellent

Midland 

 plants are large, 

 healthy and very 

 productive. How- 

 ever, selection of 

 good soil plus 

 care are neces- 

 to get plenty of 

 plants for a good fruit- 

 ing row. Midland has 

 two serious weak- 

 nesses; it does not always 

 make plants freely and is 

 susceptible to frost. Irriga- 

 gation can combat both of 

 these difficulties. 



In variety trials at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N. J., for 1961 and 1962 

 seasons Midland varied from 6,962 quarts per acre to a high of 11,557 quarts per 

 acre.
