WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTIONS 



SUNRISE 



Vigorous, good grower 



SUNRISE originated from a cross with 

 Stelemaster in 1952 and was released 

 in the early 60's. 



Plants of SUNRISE are very vigor- 

 ous in runner production. They will 

 produce for you even in dry weather. 

 Productive SUNRISE plants have 

 triple resistance to red stele, good re- 

 sistance to verticillium wilt, leaf scorch 

 and mildew. These traits help make 

 SUNRISE one of the most vigorous 

 and productive varieties. Plants of 

 SU^^RISE are best adapted to the 

 Middle States but growers report good 

 results to the north and south and west 

 to Missouri. 



SUNRISE berries are delightful for 

 desserts. They are glossy and medium- 

 size. Bright red, uniform color of the 

 skin does not darken on holding. Flesh 

 of SUNRISE berries is firm but a little 

 light for best freezing quality. Berries 

 are of a symmetrical conic shape with 

 later berries sometimes having a slight 

 neck. SUNRISE berries ripen ver>^ 

 early in the season and these delightful, 

 flavorful berries are always in great de- 

 mand. You should have some plants of 

 SUNRISE in your garden. Order now.

Dear Sirs. . . . Redglow, these have been 

 by far the best for me. The berries are good 

 sized but not huge. The flavor is excellent 

 but sometimes a bit sour. Keeping quality 

 of the ripe berries is fair. Yield is excel-

/ would like to thank your company for the 

 good service you have given me in the 

 past. I have tried other companies but have 

 not been given as good service nor have 

 I had as good luck with their plants. I 

 enjoy doing business with you people be- 

 cause I know I can trust you, your service 

 and your plants. I would also like to thank 

 you for sending me your berries book every 

 year.

REDGLOW 



The A?nerican Beauty 



REDGLOW is a cross of Fairland and 

 Tennessee Shipper and was released in 

 1956. REDGLOW is adapted to the 

 middle states and has been well grown 

 in some of the northern states. We have 

 tagged it The American Beauty for 

 beauty and quality of berries. 



REDGLOW makes an adequate 

 growth of strong robust plants which 

 are not usually crowded in the row. 

 REDGLOW plants have resistance to 

 red stele but are somewhat susceptible 

 to leaf spot. 



REDGLOW berries are a beautiful 

 shiny red which makes them so attrac- 

 tive they usually bring top prices on 

 the market. REDGLOW berries are 

 firm enough to carr}' to market in good 

 condition. Berries of REDGLOW ripen 

 very earlv, just a day or two after the 

 Earlidawn. Most of the REDGLOW 

 berries will reach a good marketable 

 size, excelling in beauty and quality. 

 Fine for freezing. Order now. See color 

 page 23.

Dear Sirs: Just a few words to say that the 

 berries I raised from your plants were 

 really the largest, most beautiful and tasty 

 that I have ever seen. The plants bore so 

 heavy. I was seeing berries in my sleep. 

 Enclosed is my order for this year. 

 Thank you
