^Starbrlght" The prettiest berries you ever saw. 



IF BEAUTY CONTESTS WERE HELD FOR STRAWBERRIES 



Starbright Would Be Our Entry 



Starbright is a cross of Chesapeake X Fairfax, combining most oi the best qualities 

 of both. The berries are almost as good in quality as Fairfax, firmer than Chesapeake and 

 handsomer than either of them. They have a delightful aroma. For the last two years our 

 Starbright berries have sold for higher prices than any variety on ou^ list, not even 

 excepting Chesapeake. Starbright has everything it takes to command top prices. 



The plants have a beautiful dark green leathery foliage which is very healthy and 

 vigorous. Starbright makes plants more freely than our old strains of Chesapeake, 

 about the same as our new strain. 



Starbright is a moderate but not a heavy cropper. On good land it has produced 

 4,CXX) to 5,000 quarts per acre. If Starbright made plants a little more freely and produced 

 as many berries as Premier or Catskill we would go '*all out" and say that it was the best 

 variety of any season that we had seen in our entire 58 years' experience with berries. 



The berries resemble Chesapeake in many ways but it is slightly earlier and the 

 berries are sweeter and firmer with a tougher, glossier skin. The berries will average fully 

 as large as Chesapeake. 



"Starbright is being introduced as a xnidseason commercial and home garden variety of great 

 beauty. It is recommended for trial from Virginia to New Jersey and westward to Kansas and 

 Iowa." So states the U. S. Department of Agriculture official circular. Starbright has real "class". 

 It should be tried. We have found as much profit in one quaurt of Starbright as in two quarts of 

 many other varieties. Price list, page 31.
