ROBINSON 
Old faithful for size and production 
ROBINSON is a late bearing variety best adapted to Northern locations. 
ROBINSON plants, while small, have the advantage of healthy foliage and 
can make a good plant bed under almost any conditions. ROBINSON has 
built-in tolerance to virus diseases. The berries are large (some say the very 
largest), light red in color and attractive, although not considered firm enough 
for distant shipment. We have noted that Midway is replacing ROBINSON in 
some areas but for the Northern grower interested mainly in size, ROBINSON 
is still the variety to consider. See color picture, center. 
ALBRITTON 
The one with CLASS 
ALBRITTON is best adapted to the coastal region of North Carolina and to a 
limited degree to the coastal areas of Virginia and Maryland. The plants make 
a very vigorous growth and are quite productive when grown in this area. 
Moving north, you do not get the high yields obtained in North Carolina. 
ALBRITTON berries are beautiful. We know of no other strawberry that 
has more class and they demand a premium price in markets where they are 
available. The berries are vivid red, turning to deeper red when fully ripe. 
They are glossy, uniform in shape with exceptional flavor and large size. 
ALBRITTON is not generally considered a good freezing berry. 
We have a nice supply of some very beautiful ALBRITTON plants that will 
produce for you. 
Gentlemen: I would like for you to quote me your price on 2,000 AJbritton plants. 
I will tell you what I did with this variety this past spring — in comparison with the 
following: Midway, Pocahontas, Surecrop, JerseybeiJe, and Vesper. AJbritton outyieJded 
the others in No. 1 berries and they were the nicest berries I have ever seen ■ — and I 
I have been growing berries a Jong time. And may I add that the 250 AJbritton bought 
from you in 1965 yieJded 553 quarts in 1966 — and that was a hot year/ I have been 
buying pJants from you for some time and I will say they are the best of aJJ.

ARMORE 
Full of vigor — fine for home garden 
The late bearing of ARMORE has made it a popular variety in the middle 
states. ARMORE has vigor and vitality and runner development is no prob- 
lem with this variety. ARMORE berries are large in size, irregular in shape, 
light red and highly flavored. They are sub-acid, however, and this, along with 
lack of firmness, prevents them from being tops for freezing or preserving. 
ARMORE is still the one to grow for home garden or roadside stand for those 
growers in the middle states needing a highly productive late variety.
