WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTIONS 



TENNESSEE BEAUTY 



Bright and firm 



TENNESSEE BEAUTY was origi- 

 nated and introduced by the Tennessee 

 Station back in the 1930's. Territory 

 where TENNESSEE BEAUTY grows 

 well is not confined to the south, how- 

 ever, as it has proven itself through all 

 of the middle and many of the northern 

 states. 



TENNESSEE BEAUTY plants are 

 very healthy and productive. Plants are 

 resistant to leaf spots and scorch and 

 are tolerant to other disorders. They 

 run freely and for top production of 

 best fruit, it is sometimes necessary to 

 thin out the beds. 



Berries of TENNESSEE BEAUTY 

 are delightful. Color is a glossy medium 

 to deep red. Berries average medium to 

 large in size. They are long conic and 

 uniformly smooth. Caps are large and 

 lovely, helping to make TENNESSEE 

 BEAUTY berries a real eye-catcher at 

 the market. They cap easily. Berries 

 are firm and ship well. Their quality is 

 good for the table and they are excel- 

 lent for freezing or processing. Your 

 garden will be complete with some of 

 our plants of TENNESSEE BEAUTY.

Gentlemen: Because I wrote you a year ago to report very slow delivery of plants I have 

 been waiting to let you know about the situation this year. Our 100 plants were post- 

 marked April 9th. They reached our mail box on Wednesday April 1 1 . They were shipped 

 Special Delivery. I thought you would want to know the results. They were in excellent 

 conditions. _ Bill Ellis

For a number of years we have ordered a small number of your plants for our home 

 garden and think they are excellent but what happened when I received our last order 

 in 1971 convinced me that they have to be the best available anyplace. When the plants 

 arrived the weather was too wet and cold to set them out, so I put them in a plastic 

 bag and placed them in the refrigerator. Before I could get them set out, our oldest 

 son had an accident which required his hospitalization for a week. Three days after we 

 brought him home our youngest son had a similar accident which also required a 

 week's hospitalization. The plants had been in the refrigerator at least a month before 

 I could get time to do anything with them. I was prepared to have to throw them out 

 and forget about strawberries that season, but upon examining them, I found that they 

 were still in very good shape, so I planted them. All except two plants survived and 

 we have had a good crop of strawberries from them for the last two seasons! Thanks 

 for furnishing such excellent plants.

ROBINSON 



The money maker for the north 



ROBINSON was introduced in Michi- 

 gan in 1932. The large size and bright 

 color of ROBINSON berries have 

 made many a dollar for growers. ROB- 

 INSON is primarily a berry for the 

 northern states. 



ROBINSON plants are small but 

 they are healthy and vigorous and pro- 

 duce extra large berries. Even under 

 adverse conditions, ROBINSON plants 

 run freely. Foliage is exceptionally 

 healthy with good resistance to leaf 

 spots. Thinning is sometimes necessary. 



ROBINSON berries are very large 

 and showy. Color is bright red outside, 

 lighter red inside. Shape is conic. 

 Larger berries are sometimes ridged. 



ROBINSON berries are usually 

 rather soft and not recommended for 

 shipment or freezing. Flavor is mild. 

 ROBINSON is noted for its produc- 

 tivity and large, showy berries. If you 

 are located in the areas where Robin- 

 son is well adapted and you are in- 

 terested in growing berries for sale, you 

 should have some plants of ROBIN- 

 SON in your garden this season. Order 

 now. See color page 27.
