GUARDIAN 



The new GUARDIAN originated from a cross of NC1768 and Surecrop. With 

 Surecrop in the parentage of this fine new variety, the "old timers" in our 

 "family" will know that GUARDIAN has excellent resistance to diseases. For 

 those not so well acquainted with the strawberry family, we must mention 

 that GUARDIAN has resistance to 5 strains of the red stele root rot, as well 

 as high resistance to verticillium wilt. Plants of GUARDIAN have medium vigor 

 and produce runners moderately, growing best under the matted row method. 

 GUARDIAN is a good producer of large, firm berries. The glossy surface of 

 GUARDIAN berries adds to their beauty. Berries retain their attractive appear- 

 ance during harvesting and marketing. The uniform light red color of delicious 

 GUARDIAN berries is excellent for marketing and table use. See the new and 

 good GUARDIAN berries on page 22 and order at once. Set some plants of 

 this new variety this season — we guarantee you won't regret it! 



RARITAN 



We are pleased to offer RARITAN to our growers this season. This variety 

 was released last year, having been tested as NJ857 and named RARITAN. 

 RARITAN is an early midseason variety, ripening several days ahead of 

 Surecrop. Plants of RARITAN make runners freely and are vigorously productive 

 of fine berries. Berries are large, nearly as large as Jerseybelle and Vesper, 

 attractively capped, bright red, glossy, and of excellent eating quality. Fresh 

 market use is our recommendation; they are delicious! We have fine stocks 

 of vigorous RARITAN plants and hope to receive your order.
