NEW RED STELE RESISTANT 

 HIGH QUALITY MIDSEASON VARIETY 



REDCHIEF, introduced in 1968 by USD A and Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station, is a new 

 midseason variety that is suitable for the home gardener as well as the commercial grower. It is ideal | 

 for "pick your own" plantings. Redchief's sweet flavor, uniform red color, and firm glossy surface make | 

 it a high quality dessert berry. It makes good jam, and its high quality is also maintained when frozen. \ 

 Being a firm berry it ships very well and holds up during the picking season. 



REDCHIEF is resistant to five strains of red stele, leaf scorch, mildew, and moderately resistant to 

 Verticillium wilt. The plants have medium vigor, make a good matted row, and produce above average j 

 yields. Redchief has performed very well from Maryland north to Massachusetts and west to Illinois. 

 There are nothing but good reports from commercial growers in Michigan. With Rayner's virus-free f I 

 plants, you will be more than pleased with this wonderful new variety. "

The, Redchief berries were the largest berries I ever saw and most productive. I picked over 300 quarts 

 from my small patch {100 plants).

EXTRA LATE — EXTRA LARGE 



Marlate is a new extra late, high quality variety that extends picking well past the regular season. 

 The plants are vigorous and it appears to be resistant to leaf diseases. The berries are large, bright, 

 firm, and very attractive. Marlate holds its size throughout the harvest season, and the fruit stems 

 snap freely making them easy to pick. 



This variety has been tested thoroughly in Maryland, Pennsylvania and neighboring states and cer- 

 tainly, appears worthy of trial for those who want an extra late variety that ripens after Jerseybelle 

 but before Redstar. Supply is limited for this variety. 



25 Plants $3.75; 50 for $5.60; 100 for $8.50; 250 for $16.40. Prices do not Include postage.
