SWEET 

 FLAVOR 



a new joint introduction by U.S. D. A. and Maryland 

 Agricultural Experiment Station, is a must for trial by 

 the home gardener as well as the commercial grower. 

 Its praiseworthy characteristics also make it ideal for "pick your 

 own" plantings. 

 Redchief's sweet flavor, uniform deep red color and firm glossy surface make it a high quality dessert 



berry. It makes good jam, and its high quality is also maintained when frozen. 



Producing runners freely, it has performed well in the matted-row system. Its fruit size is from large 



to medium, and it ripens midseason — about 2 or 3 days after Surecrop. Redchief is resistant to five 



strains of red stele; thus, it is recommended for areas where this may be a problem and Surecrop has not 



been productive. 



Redchief was tested over a wide area as selection Md.- U.S. 3068. Its performance was best from Maryland 

 north to Massachusetts and west to Illinois. We strongly recommend it in this area for all strawberry growers 

 who want to be first with this wonderful new variety. Due to the high demand, we must limit 500 plants to 

 each/customer.

/^atcfatt 



was introduced in 1968 by the New Jersey LIMITED SUPPLY 

 Agricultural Experiment Station. This variety ORDER EARLY 

 has performed very well in New Jersey and has ^ 

 gained wide acceptance by the commercial growers who have tested 

 it. We strongly recommend it for Xew Jersey and feel that it is cer- 

 tainly worth a trial in the neighboring states. 



In addition to having large glossy red fruit with an attractive cap, Raritan is firm and ships very well. 

 Because of its beauty and excellent shipping qualities, Raritan will soon be the favorite early midseason 

 to midseason variety in Xew Jersey. The fruit has an excellent eating quality and is recommended for 

 fresh market and table use but not for freezing. Plants run freely and produce a good bed in the matted- 

 row system. Raritan is not red stele resistant. Do not plant where this disease is known to exist. 



Because of its limited supply,^ we must limit 500 plants to each customer. The demand for this 

 excellent variety is expected to be heavy, so order early to insure getting your plants.
