FLORIDA 90 



Florida 90 was originated by Dr. A. N. Brooks in Florida in 1947. Florida 90 

 grows very freely making as many or more runner plants than any other variety. 

 It is quite subject to leaf spot and leaf scorch and we use copper in our dusting 

 schedule to combat this problem. 



The berries are large, pointed, red all the way through and ship very well to 

 northern markets. We believe it is safe to make the statement that it is the standard 

 variety grown in the State of Florida with just a little migration into immediately 

 adjacent territories. 



Nearly all other varieties of strawberries will not grow in Florida because there 

 is not sufficient cold weather to produce dormancy which is necessary for fruit 

 development. Florida 90 is the only variety that we can recommend for the home 

 garden in Florida. Price list page 32. 



MISSIONARY 



Missionary was the leading variety in Florida for many years but has been largely replaced 

 by Florida 90 in most areas. Missionary will do well on almost all soils and better than most 

 on extremely light soils. The berries ripen early, are medium in size, dark red in color, rather 

 tart in quality and attractive in appearance. It is a very good shipper and is also a favorite 

 with the cold pack or "juice men". Like Florida 90, Missionary is adapted to the climate of Florida 

 and adjacent areas and will produce fruit even in the absence of cold weather. Virus free stocks 

 emphasize the good qualities of Missionary. Price list page 32. 



DORSET! 



Dorsett is a high quality berry which has many good points and a few bad ones. Certified 

 virus free plants of Dorsett are not available but our stock grows as well as can be expected of 

 a variety that is not virus free. Dorsett is productive, attractive and firm with a quality that is 

 only exceeded by Fairfax. Dorsett is best grown on sites that are free from frosts as it is suscepti- 

 ble to frost injury and there is some difficulty in making the blossoms set fruit. Our present stock 

 will make you an excellent fruiting row. Price list page. 32.
