WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTIONS 



MIDSEASON VARIETIES 



POCAHONTAS 



Productive and Popular 



POCAHONTAS was introduced in 

 Maryland in 1946. It was well re- 

 ceived and made steady leaps in popu- 

 larity, helped along by wide adapta- 

 bility. It grows well in nearly all areas 

 except the deep south. We used to ex- 

 clude the far west along with the deep 

 south when mentioning adaptability but 

 growers tell us that Pocahontas grows 

 well for them in California. 



POCAHONTAS plants are great 

 producers. Plants are vigorous and 

 make runners freely. Foliage has re- 

 sistance to leaf scorch and partial re- 

 sistance to leaf spots. 



POCAHONTAS berries are large, 

 blunt conic. Skin is bright medium red. 

 Flesh is red. Berries are firm, making 

 them excellent for shipping and proc- 

 essing. POCAHONTAS berries are 

 great for desserts and fine for freezing. 

 POCAHONTAS produces showy ber- 

 ries of quality. 



POCAHONTAS is one of the few 

 varieties that adapts well to setting in 

 the late summer for a .partial crop the 

 following spring. Our plants of POCA- 

 HONTAS are looking ver\' lovely and 

 you should order now to have some in 

 your garden. See color page 25. 



FAIRFAX 



FIRST jor FLAVOR 



FAIRFAX was released in Manrdand 

 in 1923. It wasn't long before growers 

 discovered the size, beauty and quality 

 of this great variety and it remains a 

 great favorite today. 



Plants of FAIRFAX are productive 

 but they are not free running. When 

 late season runners are picked off 

 FAIRFAX plants are especially pro- 

 ductive. Foliage is resistant to leaf spots 

 and leaf scorch but sensitive to virus 

 diseases. FAIRFAX plants are well 

 adapted to Virginia north and west- 

 ward to Kansas. 



Berries of FAIRFAX are medium 

 to large in size, attractive, and wedge 

 to blunt conic in shape. Berries are 

 firm enough and have a bright red color 

 when they first ripen. They darken on 

 holding, however, and this keeps 

 FAIRFAX from being great on the 

 wholesale market. The size, beauty and 

 quality of these delightful berries make 

 FAIRFAX an outstanding variety for 

 the retail markets and every home gar- 

 den should have some plants of FAIR- 

 FAX for a truly delicious taste treat. 

 Great for desserts! See color page 4. 



Dear Sir: In 1972 My two daughters got, I believe it was, 275 strawberry plants from 

 you. They got 2 different kinds. Surecrop and Pocahontas. In 1973 they picl<ed over 

 1000 qts. of berries. They were bearing from the middle of April through June. They 

 are expecting another crop this year from the same plants. Thanks.
