SURECROP 



for Sure Crops 



Surecrop is widely adapted from the upper south through the middle states and 

 into the far north. It is one of our relatively new varieties and its popularity has 

 been growing by leaps and bounds. Among the reasons for the rapid rise of Sure- 

 crop to one of our sales' leaders are the following: The plants are extremely vigor- 

 ous, producing runners very freely and have bluff, healthy foliage which functions 

 well through the berry season. The plants are quite productive, ranking very high 

 in total yield in almost all tests that have been made. Ohio and West Virginia par- 

 ticularly have had excellent results with Surecrop in replicated tests. 



Surecrop berries are large, fairly round, bright and shiny red. They are very 

 good in quality, firm enough to ship, and market reports indicate that the price 

 of Surecrop berries stays at or near the top all season. Size of the berries holds up 

 well and they are suitable for freezing. Some customers think they rate among the 

 best for freezing. The quality of Surecrop is considered as good and the flavor is 

 well described by one of our customers from Shenandoah County, Virginia, who 

 wrote us on March 2, 1963, as follows: "Your 1963 spring catalog does not mention 

 the tart flavor of Surecrop as does your 1960 catalog. The flavor is tart and good.' 

 I really think it would help those who like tart berries to select Surecrop and I hope 

 you don't mind that I mention this." Mr. F. Gutlands. 



Surecrop is one of the best varieties that has resistance to red stele and is the 

 best variety that has triple resistance to this disease. In any berry field Surecrop 

 will be outstanding because of the vigor of plant growth and the healthy, hardy 

 foliage. Surecrop is well worth growing for its own merits and enables those who 

 have red stele in their soils to stay in the business of raising fancy quality berries. 

 We consider Surecrop to be one of the great midseason berries. 



Mr. Carl C. Wiseman of Clark Co., Ohio, wrote to us on February 18, 1963. "In 

 1962 I ordered 500 Surecrop plants from you. Just want to tell you they were the 

 nicest plants I have ever bought from any nursery. They made a very beautiful 

 fruiting row and I am really proud of them. Enclosed is my order for an additional 

 1,000 plants."
