WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTION 
EARLY VARIETIES 
EAR LI DAWN 
Earliest of all 
EARLIDAWN is the greatest of all varieties for its earliness in ripening. 
Protection of bloom by the short flower stems, produced by vigorous plants, 
makes it the most frost proof of any variety we know at present. EARLI- 
DAWN plants make adequate runners under satisfactory conditions of soil 
and moisture. Susceptibility to verticillium wilt and red stele are inherent in 
this fine variety, however, and where either may be present in the soil, 
EARLIDAWN is not recommended for planting. Berries are large in size, firm, 
of fine rather tart flavor, glossy and vivid red. These qualities make EARLI- 
DAWN berries excellent for marketing, table use, freezing and preserving. 
We vote EARLIDAWN tops for early from North to South! See Color Picture, 
Back Cover. 
A Southern commercial variety 
EARLIBELLE was released last year as an early commercial variety for North 
Carolina and South. Although the season was more toward mid than early 
with us here in Maryland, results were good and we do not hesitate to rec- 
ommend EARLIBELLE for its quality berries. Berries are medium large, 
bright red, glossy and firm, with tart flavor to make them good for processing. 
Plant production is good. EARLIBELLE plants are smaller than some 
varieties in size but run so freely they must be thinned for best production. 
The Earlibelle plants received from you in 1966 were excellent plants and the berries 
were just outstanding.
