REDSTAR 
*7Ue Jtated V&uf, Qood and the, lieti V&uj, late. VaMety 
Redstar has all of the virtues of a really great strawberry. 
PLANTS 
Redstar makes a very robust plant growth — plenty of large, strong, deeply rooted 
plants with foliage so healthy and green it might well be on a beautiful ornamental plant. 
Those big plants really turn out big crops. They are most productive for a very late 
variety. 
BERRIES 
Large average size, with the largest ones broad and slightly rrdged (see pictures 
below and on back cover). 
Fine quality — some say next to Fairfax. 
Firm enough for distant shipment. 
Very attractive with a bright red color which does not turn dark, a tough glossy skin 
with slightly raised yellow seeds, a light green cap. Pretty as a picture, Redstar berries 
entice the eye. They sell well. 
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT REDSTAR IS LATENESS OF RIPENING 
Many days after all other good varieties are through/ Redstar will still be turning out 
berries in abundance! 
If pickers are scarce you can nearly double your production of fancy berries by 
stretching out the season with Redstar! 
Prices in normal times will be much better because of avoiding local competition 
with all other varieties! 
Grow Redstar in all the Northern States as far south as Virginia and West to Missouri. 
We are still rather short on Redstar — so place your order early. Price Hst, page 31. 
Late Berries for High Prices 
1 . Plant Redstar — latest good berry. 
2. Elevations— each 100 feet higher altitude means 
1 day later ripening. 
3. Heavy clay soil— 4 days later than sandy soil. 
4. North slope — berries ripened 10 days later than 
south slope. 
5. Mulching — can delay ripening 10 to 14 days. 
Redstar — 
delicious berries 
after others have gone
