FULTON 



Fulton is one of the M F" series of varieties introduced by Prof. George L. 

 Slate of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station at Geneva. Dr. Slate 

 feels that the firmness of this variety makes it well worth trying. It was introduced 

 in 1959 and has proved to have satisfactory yields of attractive, firm-fleshed 

 berries in tests in Maryland, Ohio, New York and other areas extending from 

 the northeast to the central states where is seems best adapted. 



The flavor of the berries is good, freezing quality is satisfactory and the 

 variety certainly seems worthy of trial as a northern commercial variety for 

 midseason use. Plants have proven to be free growing, vigorous and productive 

 with attractive, healthy foliage under good growing conditions. Our supplies 

 are limited. Price list page 



DORSETT 



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 susceptible 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 28.

BIG JOE 



Big Joe is one of our oldest varieties, not virus free but a vigorous grower 

 anyway. Plants are moderately productive and the berries average large in size. 

 Berries are fairly firm, and a bright red color with an attractive green cap that 

 makes them very showy and easy to sell. Big Joe is a fairly good shipper. It is 

 somewhat susceptible to late frosts so selection of frosty sites should be avoided. 

 Generally best results have been obtained in the middle states. If you know and 

 like Big Joe we have beautiful plants for you. Price list page 28.

TEMPLE 



Temple berries are large, regular with a blunt conic shape and moderately 

 firm. Their color is medium red and they are of good dessert quality with an ex- 

 cellent flavor. Temple plants are highly tolerant of virus diseases, resistant to leaf 

 spot, and it was developed as a commercial variety for use on red stele infected 

 soils. It is resistant to the most common strain of red stele and was the first of the 

 good red stele resistant varieties. Price list page 28.
