HEBRON. LATE AND PRODUCTIVE 



HEBRON 



(CONN. NO. Ill) — A promising new late va- 

 riety developed by the Connecticut Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station at New Haven, 

 Conn. Hebron was developed from the cross- 

 ing of inbred lines similar to the method 

 practiced in producing hybrid corn. This 

 „ ^ practice was perfected at the Connecticut 

 W Station. 



Hebron is a late variety, is very attract- 

 ive in color and general appearance. In 

 three year's trial at Mt. Carmel, Conn., it 

 has given as good yields as Premier ; when 

 carried over and fruited the second year, it 

 yielded more than Premier, Pathfinder or 

 Catskill. The fruit is not sufficiently firm 

 for long distance shipping. 



At Mt. Carmel, Conn., Hebron is quite vig- 

 orous, making a good fruiting row of med- 

 ium sized plants, which are free from leaf 

 spot and scorch. The fruit is attractive, us- 

 ually medium to medium large ; tart, with 

 fair flavor. We recommend Hebron for trial 

 from the latitude of New Haven, north, for 

 nearby markets.

Am enclosing order for 1,000 Blakemore 



plants. I ordered plants of you once before, 



and we were well satisfied. The plants proved 



to be good and produced a fine crop for us. 



Sincerely yours,

 Thank you for your prompt shipment of 

 strawberry plants and asparagus. They cer- 

 tainly seemed to be in fine shape, and I appre- 

 ciate the additional plants you sent me. 



Very truly yours,

GENERAL ADAPTABILITY OF STRAWBERRY VARIETIES 



To aid you in selecting the best varieties for your plantings we are giving here the sections where 

 each variety is generally best adapted. We are also making notations on the varieties that may become 

 too dense in the rows making thinning or spacing necessary. However, all varieties will produce larger 

 and better fruit when plants are spaced about 6 to 9 inches apart in the bed.
