OTHER LATE VARIETIES 



A rf%wv%r% ^°' many years Aroma has been the 

 MrOma leading late shipping berry in Ar- 

 kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Ken- 

 tucky and other southern and central states. Here 

 are some of the reasons it has been able to hold this 

 leadership. The plants, though small, are very 

 vigorous and healthy and make plenty of runners 

 for a good fruiting row. They are very productive in 

 regions adapted to Aroma. The berries are beauties. 

 They have a shiny bright red color which darkens 

 very little on holding or shipping. And they have 

 the finest, greenest caps of any variety to enhance 

 their natural beauty. On top of that, they are firm 

 enough to ship long distances and go into market in 

 almost perfect condition. Aroma has never been a 

 leader in the East, but in the states mentioned as 

 well as Southern Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, it has 

 been a moneymaker. Price list, page 31. 



MnccAW '^*** "«^ ****** quality late 

 fViaSdey berry for the South. It brought 

 top prices in North Carolina in 

 1942. In size and quality it is outstanding. Very 

 vigorous. With very little fertilizer on good land, 

 Massey has beenxjuite productive. Berries run very 

 large, beautiful as well as of highest quality. Fine 

 for home gardens— firm enough to ship. Price list, 

 page 31. 



LlJ ntnn "^®*^*y ^^ only skin deep," but that 

 k U p I U 1 1 doesn't seem to matter much. Lupton 

 strawberries are beautiful, but under 

 the skin is a flesh that is quite dry and poor in, 

 quality. In spite of this the beauty of Lupton berries, 

 together with their large size and fine shipping 

 quality, has made Lupton one of the most profitable 

 late shipping berries. They are grown chiefly in 

 Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and 

 New York, but to some extent in other states of 

 similar latitude. Lupton is grown and sold also as 

 "Townking" but the varieties are identical. Price

A Connecticut introduction. Dr. 



Jones, the originator, says "Hebron 

 is the latest variety coming into maximum produc- 

 tion at a time when all other varieties are nearly 

 through". "The fruit is unusually bright and light 

 in color in striking contrast to the dark green 

 caps." Hebron is rather soft and poor in quality in 

 Maryland but is worthy of trial in the North as a 

 high yielding, late variety. Price list, page 31. 



highly recommended late 

 variety. A vigorous, healthy 

 plant maker. Very hardy and 

 frost resistant. Strong poUenizer. Plants are quite 

 productive of bright, sparkling red berries of good 

 quality. Large average size in seasons not too dry.

Green Mountain f-'r^tr. 



known 

 uer, the 

 spring crop of Green 

 Mountain is so good 

 that it is becoming increasingly popular in some sections as a 

 very late spring bearing kind. The plant makes a very healthy, 

 tough, leathery foliage growth. The plants set an enormous 

 crop of fruit. With plenty of moisture they bring the berries to 

 a good marketable idze — but under very dry conditions it is 

 too much to expect unless water is added. 



The spring berries are round with pointed tips much like 

 Aroma and Chesapeake while the Fall berries on the same 

 plants are rather long and blunt or wedge shaped. The berries 

 are fair to good in quality, quite firm and make good shippers. 

 Best reports of Green Mountain as a spring cropper have come 

 from Pennsylvania, Northern New England and the upper 

 Mississippi Valley states. According to our arrangement with 

 the patent holders, we may sell you Greezi Mountain plants to 

 use or to propagate for your own use but not for sale. Price

Gandy 



A fancy late shipping berry, large, solid, 

 handsome, moderately productive. Needs 

 liberal fertilization. Berries often sell with 

 Chesapeake. Makes plants freely but needs 

 springy land for big crops. Gandy is an old favorite which 

 many growers refuse to give up. Where it does well it is a real 

 profit maker. We recommend limiting Gandy plants in the 

 row to four to six plants per square foot and fertilizing in late 

 summer. Growers who want to extend their season very late 

 will find Gandy one of the best of all varieties for that purpose. 

 We have a nice lot of plants. Price list, page 31. 



A very 

 new, very 

 late varie- 



Julymorn (N. J. #225) 



ty origi- 

 nated by Professor J. Harold Clark at the N. J. Agricultural 

 Experimental Station. Fair plant maker, making strong robust 

 individual plants rather than great numbers. Plants very 

 productive. Berries mostly large, somewhat ridged. Good 

 quality and flavor although rather tart. Berries very firm, 

 rather dark. When cut they show a deep rich red clear 

 through with little or no core. One of the best for slicing. 

 About the prettiest berry under the skin that you ever have 

 seen. Price list, page 31.
