Frontenac is a fine, late-ripening variety for 

 northern areas. It ripens a few days after 

 Sparlvle and is larger in size. Its berries are 

 medium red, and very attractive. The flesh is 

 fairly firm and the skin is tough enough to make 

 this a good market berry in cooler climates. For 

 both fresh use and freezing Frontenac is excell- 

 ent. 



This "^iariety was developed at the New York 

 Experiment Station from a cross between Fairfax 

 and Dresden and it has a lot of that fine Fairfax 

 quality. The plants are very winter hardy, vig- 

 orous, productive, and quite free from leaf 

 troubles. Runner production is adequate if good 

 growing conditions are provided. Frontenac has 

 produced as high as 18,000 quarts per acre. It is 

 recommended for trial both for home garden use 

 and commercial planting since it has big yields 

 of large firm berries with good freezing quality.

CYCLONE 



VIRUS 

 FREE 



Cyclone is a result of the strawberry breeding program at Iowa State University. It is 

 especially adapted to very cold climates where a large high-quality berry is desired. In Iowa 

 it is an early variety with big, brilliant red, juicy berries. Dessert quality is excellent and it 

 is fine for freezing. It is generally not firm enough for shipment and thus is recommended 

 for home gardens and local sales. Plants are vigorous and produce a good stand of well-spaced 

 runners. In trial plantings in Iowa Cyclone has produced 11.000 qts. per acre. It has been 

 fully winter hardy under severe mid-western conditions and is recommended for trial in com- 

 parable climates. Pi-ices: 25 Plants $2.50; 50 for $3.75; 100 for $5.60 Plus Postage. 





FULTON

From N. Y. Experiment Station 



Fulton is another fine variety resulting from the ex- 

 cellent breeding program of the New York Agricultural 

 Experiment Station. It was introduced in 1959 and has 

 subsequently proven to be adapted to most of the north- 

 eastern and central states. This variety was introduced 

 primarily for use as a northern commercial variety since 

 the berries are firmer than most varieties generally 

 adapted to northern conditions. The flesh is firm and the 

 skin is fairly tough so that the berries have good hand- 

 ling and keeping quality. Fulton ripens about midseason 

 and has good yields of bright, attractive berries. The 

 flavor is good and freezing quality is also very good. 

 Plants are vigorous, productive, and resistant to leaf 

 troubles. In 1963 we saw this variety in official trial 

 plantings in Maryland and Ohio and believe that its firm- 

 ness and other good qualities rate it very promising for 

 commercial planting in cooler climates.
