VESPER 



Large, Late and Productive 



VESPER was released through the 

 New Jersey Experiment Station after 

 extensive testing and we listed it for

 and Jerseybelle are parents. Like Jer-

 best adapted to the more northern 

 states.

 but vigorous in runner making. It is 

 exceptionally productive. Lack of re- 

 sistance to red stele, verticillium wilt 

 and foliage diseases is a drawback but 

 VESPER plants will grow and produce 

 well if your land is free of these -dis- 

 eases. 



VESPER berries are large and 

 lovely with pretty green caps. Fruit is 

 a rich red color and very glossy. Large 

 primary berries are sometimes fur- 

 rowed. Later fruits are smooth. Seeds 

 are raised and attractive. Mild flavor. 

 Firm enough for commercial purposes 

 to the north but somewhat soft for dis- 

 tant shipments. VESPER is very pro- 

 ductive of large, late berries and will 

 extend the season for the growers in 

 the northern states. Order your plants
