TEMPLE has become a sales leader in less time than any 

 variety we ever introduced. After observing its unusual 

 vigor and growth we offered TEMPLE in trial lots of 100 

 plants in 1945 and many growers planted on our recom- 

 mendations. In 1946 there was an unusual demand for 

 TEMPLE which has increased tremendously the past two 

 years. 



TEMPLE was originally introduced as a variety entirely 

 resistant to root diseases, but the vigor that made this re- 

 sistance possible has also made TEMPLE a winner under 

 most unusual growing conditions. 



TEMPLE has what you want in a strawberry — it has a 

 glossy, healthy red beauty — it sizes up well and the fruit is 

 firm and of excellent flavor — it is a good producer over a 

 long fruiting season. Excellent frost resistance. Enthusias- 

 tic reports from growers throughout the northeast show TEM- 

 PLE is well adapted in Premier, Catskill growing areas. 



Wide Soil Range — Does well in moist, poorly drained soil and is 

 also successful in higher, upland soils. 



Space Wide In Row — Free bedding habit of TEMPLE suggests 

 spacing wide in row, a minimum of IS inches and up to 30 inches. 

 Planting too close may cause such dense beds that berry size, yield 

 and quality may be affected. 



Use Fertilizer Sparingly — The best practice is an early fall ferti- 

 lizing with little or no fertilizing in the spring. Heavy spring 

 applications may cause too dense foliage growth. 



100 QUARTS FROM 50 TEMPLE PLANTS 



Steuben County, X. Y., April 25, 194S 

 For trial I ordered 50 Temple (in 1940) and I never before have seen plants ffrow like they have. 

 And in spite of the fact we had a hard freeze that froze all of the first blossoms, we picked 100 ouarts 

 of as nice berries as I have ever seen from that 50 Temple plants. Archie Lloyd
