Olermont "^ New York Station creation that is gaining much 

 popularity and praise in that State. At the Experi- 

 ment Station at Geneva they were really outstanding, producing a 

 very good crop of large, light red berries with a very high gloss and 

 a bright green calyx. 



With us they made a good yield and tlie fruit was quite attract- 

 ive but the calyx and the foliage did not hold up as well as we would 

 like. Therefore it is our opinion that Clermont is at its best 

 North of the Mason-Dixon line. 



The plants are vigorous and make a good fruiting row. The 

 fruit is large and sizes up well, has good quality and flavor. In the 

 Northern sections where Clermont is at its best it is a truly fine va- 

 riety and well worth a trial. 



Fruitla.nd. I'^^tra early, productive of large light red berries of 

 CLERMONT better than average quality. Similar to Big Joe in 



firmness and general appearance. Plant growth is vigorous and 

 healthy, holding up well at fruiting time. Here on the Peninsula Fruitland is very popular 

 with many growers for commercial planting and is considered superior to Premier under con- 

 ditions similar to those here. 



Southland Oi"igii'ated by the U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture and first in- 

 troduced in 1932. Southland was developed and 

 introduced to fill a specific need. The need for 

 a really high quality home garden and local 

 market berry for the South. All the southern 

 shipping varieties, while ideal for that purpose, 

 are rather poor in dessert quality. Southland 

 with its fine quality and flavor, very large size 

 knd great attractiveness, offers higher stand- 

 ards for home consumption than the South has 

 ever before enjoyed. While we do not recom- 

 mend it as a shipping berry, we really believe 

 they will be a very profitable variety for sale 

 in the Southern cities and towns and when their 

 higher qualities become better known, there will 

 be a definite demand for them. While pro- 

 duction must necessarily be limited to local consumption we are of the opinion a grower who 

 is favorably located will find Southland much more profitable than the shipping varieties. The 

 plant growth is strong and vigorous. If you are not growing Southland, try them, you may be 

 missing something that is really worth while.
