POCAHONTAS 



/I Powerhouse for Growth and Production 



Pocahontas continues its steady growth in popularity so that it still leads our 

 sales on all varieties except Catskill. The adaptability of Pocahontas to every sec- 

 tion with the exception of the deep south and far west is one of the main reasons 

 for this. The grower is the final criterion and here is a typical unsolicited letter: 

 Feb. 8, 1963. "We really enjoyed our Pocahontas berries we bought from you two 

 years ago. That year we picked 175 quarts from 100 plants. We had never raised a 

 berry before and it was a new adventure to us." Arthur Federmann, Hamilton Co., 

 Ohio. 



THE BASIS OF POCAHONTAS POPULARITY 



1. Productivity equalling Catskill, Sparkle and other great producers. 



2. Wide adaptability to climate and soil. 



3. One of the strongest in plant growth with great reserve vigor. 



4. Its pre-eminence as a variety to set in late summer (where plants are available) 

 for a partial crop the following spring. 



5. Large average size of berries, together with the bright red attractive color and 

 showiness. (See color picture.) 



6. Berries are of good dessert quality (somewhat tart) and considered excellent for 

 freezing. 



7. Firmness good enough to make an excellent shipper with growing popularity as 

 a processing berry. 



We have a limited supply of very fine Pocahontas plants. May we suggest that 

 you order early? There is always a big demand for Pocahontas. Price list pxige 32.
