WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTIONS 



SURECROP 



— For Sure Crops 



Plants: Widely adapted, upper south 

 to north. Large size. Vigorous 

 producer. Free in runner pro- 

 duction under most conditions. 

 One of the very best for re- 

 sistance to diseases of plant or 

 foliage. Drought resistant. 



Berries: Large. Round conic. Irregu- 

 lar. Firm. Glossy. Medium red 

 skin. Light red flesh. Tart. 



Something Special: Fine for des- 

 serts. Excellent for freezing. 

 See COLOR Page 27. 



Something Extra: Surecrop plants 

 make a full bed wherever they 

 are. Set some plants of Sure- 

 crop (12 to 15 inches apart) in 

 that hard-to-mow spot in your 

 yard. You will have a beautiful 

 cover of green and the added 

 delight of picking luscious ber- 

 ries hither and yon. 



Another Idea: Strawberry plants 

 make a lovely, graceful border 

 around the walks and flowers. 

 Pick an early rose and some 

 berries, too!

Do you have 1,000 Surecrop strawberry plants? It so, let us know as soon as you can. We want 

 to put them out now so they will be ready for spring picking. We ordered 1,000 from you 4 

 years ago this spring and they have been good. We got better than 2,100 quarts off them 

 last year and have gotten close to 1,500 already this year and more to pick. We think they 

 are the Finest berry you can buy. We have pickers from everywhere and they, too, say they 

 are the finest. We think your plants are the best anywhere, good healthy plants, I'll say. Thanks 

 again for your good plants and for SURE CROPS! . . . Harry Hovis, Hiram, Missouri 



Your Surecrop berries have been the best I have ever raised in this region. I am hoping Poca- 

 hontas and Midway will be as good. . . . Jack B. Ritzman, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa
