Tennessee Beauty berries are as pretty as can be found under good condi- 

 tions. (See color picture inside front cover.) They run medium to large in size 

 when moisture is adequate and the plants have not been allowed to grow too 

 densely. The caps are outstanding in appearance and come off quite easily, 

 which sometimes poses a problem during picking. Both for freezing and proc- 

 essing the berries are regarded as very good. Tennessee Beauty is excellent for 

 shipping and firm enough so that delays in picking, because of weather or lack 

 of help, result in very little loss. 



The plants are very healthy and quite productive with foliage resistant to 

 leaf spot and other disorders. They produce runners very freely and some thin- 

 ning is necessary to maintain berry size. Although we know and realize that 

 Tennessee Beauty is not as good as it used to be, we feel it is still the best choice 

 in the middle states for a late variety. We have a nice supply of beautiful Ten- 

 nessee Beauty plants. Price list page 28. 



ROBINSON 



A Money Maker for Northern Growers 



Robinson is primarily a variety for the north, as the fruit in the middle states 

 and south is not firm enough for shipping. The berries are usually rather soft and 

 not too good in quality except in the north. Because of its size and its potential 

 as a money maker Robinson has enthusiastic supporters from Missouri to Vir- 

 ginia and north. In Maryland Robinson has been profitable in dry years but in 

 wet years there is considerable loss of fruit because of softness, even with close 

 picking. 



Robinson foliage is completely healthy with the plant growth and fruiting 

 bed nearly always good even under adverse conditions. The plants individually 

 are small but they do bear big berries. (See color picture center of catalog.) 

 Some thinning of the plants is usually necessary. As a processor Robinson is not 

 generally accepted except in those areas where it is known and grown. Price list
