ROBINSON 



large Size and Bright Color /jave made for its Growers many a Dollar 



Robinson is primarily a berry for the north. The fruit in the southern and even 

 lower middle states is not firm enough for shipping and not as good in quality as 

 that grown in the north. There have been good reports on Robinson from nearly all 

 the northern states with some enthusiastic supporters as far south as Missouri and 

 northern Virginia. 



Robinson berries are usually rather 

 soft and not considered very high in 

 quality, although there are many who 

 do not agree with this and feel that 

 Robinson quality is good. In this section 

 of Maryland Robinson has been quite 

 profitable in dry years but in wet years 

 it is so soft that even with close picking 

 there is considerable loss of fruit. 



The plant growth of Robinson isi 

 nearly always good. It seldom fails to| 

 make a good fruiting row even unde' 

 adverse conditions. The plants individ- 

 ually are small but they do bear big 

 berries. Robinson foliage is completely 

 healthy and even on weak plants we 

 have never seen any foliage injury or 

 disease. 



ROBINSON 

 A Money Maker For Northern Growers 



For a berry that is sure to grow, 

 nothing will surpass Robinson in the 

 north. It usually makes too many plants 

 so that some thinning is necessary. As 



a processor Robinson has not ranked high, but is accepted widely in areas where 

 large quantities of Robinson are produced. Profit is the motive for planting Robin- 

 son. Despite its weak points it will soon be planted widely by many growers who 

 remember the dollars that rolled in with Robinson. Price list page 32. 



VERMILION 



Vermilion berries are large in size, irregular in shape and the fruiting habit is close to the 

 ground causing a tendency to green sides. The skin is bright red with yellow seeds and pale 

 flesh. It ripens midseason in most areas. 



Vermilion was originated in Illinois. It is quite productive and the plants are resistant to leaf 

 spot, leaf scorch and the common strain of red stele. Growth is strong and upstanding with an 

 adequate number of big strong plants. Vermilion has shown great productiveness in the central 

 states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and is certainly worthy of trial in that area. Price list page 32.
