The good grower 



The SUNRISE variety has proven itself to growers on the watch for an early 

 ripener. SUNRISE is well adapted to the mid-Atlantic states. SUNRISE plants are 

 very vigorous, making runners freely. Resistance to verticillium wilt, leaf scorch, 

 mildew, and triple resistance to red stele are all built-in assets with SUNRISE. 

 A special feature of SUNRISE is its ability to grow and produce under dry 

 conditions. 



SUNRISE berries are glossy, bright red outside, with firm, light pink flesh. 

 They are of fine dessert quality. Have you looked at the picture of SUNRISE on 

 facing page? This will show you what you can do with a setting of SUNRISE 

 this season. Order now. 



FRIENDS OF SUNRISE SAY: 



Dear Sir: I have had trouble the last number of years with my berries dying 

 during the year after setting, about the time the green berries are about half 

 grown. The' plants would die and little berries dry up. I was told it was wilt that 

 caused it. In spring of 1967, I got 50 of your Sunrise plants and had very good 

 results — no dying out and had a good crop even if we did lose some of the 

 crop due to heavy frost at blossom time. I thought you would like to know, being 

 as I haven't been able to get enough berries before for our own use with other 

 kinds. Enclosed you will find a check for 50 of your Surecrop. I would like to try 

 these now and see if I can grow some of them. Yours truly, 



Willard P. Dieter, Orchard Park, New York 



Gentlemen: We fruited Sunrise the first time last spring. We are enthused with 

 Sunrise despite grower reports in this area — it cropped poorly for them. When 

 the County Agent visited our picking fields, he was surprised they cropped so 

 well for us — double that of his own and three other growers. We like its eating 

 quality-picking ease — and its holding ability both on and off the plants. — I 

 didn't think it possible but our Sunrise were one up on yours in the Sunrise photo 

 in your catalog. Ours showed more neck than those in the photo — besides being 

 larger. Sunrise was a hit with the stands — high aroma is a real sales factor.

Vigor and Beauty 



EARLIBELLE plants are vigorous and growers sometimes complain about the 

 necessity for thinning the beds — but we recommend it for best production. 

 EARLIBELLE plants may be a little smaller than some varieties but they really 

 want to grow and their vigor makes thinning necessary. 



EARLIBELLE berries are a beautiful bright red, glossy and firm. They run 

 medium to large in size and the slight tartness of flavor makes them good for 

 processing. We claim Earlibelle has a lot of quality — and we really tried to 

 prove it by using a cluster of EARLIBELLE berries on our new stationery. If 

 we have to write you for any reason, please take a good look — and in the 

 meantime, just feast your eyes on the facing page. 



EARLIBELLE is an impressive variety and we wish it could be recommended 

 for north and south. It is best adapted to North Carolina and south, however, 

 although Virginia growers have had good results.
