MIDLAND 



Quick-Freezing Variety 

 of Excellent Flavor 



A PREMIER - REDHEART CROSS OF FIRM 

 FREEZING AND SHIPPING QUALITY. 



Here is a variety productive of very large berries of deep, glossy red color that 

 runs all through the berry. Fruit is mildly sub-acid and of very good to excellent 

 dessert quality. These qualities make MIDLAND a good freezing variety that 

 makes an attractive package of highly-flavored fruit embodying much of that fresh- 

 off-the-vine goodness. 



Vigorous Plants — Plants have large, healthy leaves resistant to leaf spot and scorch, but 

 do not set a heavy fruiting bed. 



Very Large Berries — Fruit clusters set a large number of uniform berries much larger than 

 Dorsett and twice as large as Blakemore. 



Excellent Dessert Quality — Deep red berries are rich and juicy. Flavor is much better 

 than Premier and above most varieties. 



Highly Productive— This U.S.D.A. cross has shown high production as far south as Virgin- 

 ia and westward to Missouri and Iowa and northward to Connecticut and Michigan. 



Good Shipper — Seeds are even with surface and sometimes slightly raised, giving added 

 protection to a very glossy, firm skin. Ranks high in shipping quality and therefore brings 

 more in berry markets than most popular varieties. 

 MIDLAND PRICES— 100 plants $3.00 ; 1000 plants $15.50. Complete Price List on page 43

MAYTIME 



EARLIEST FRUITING VARIETY 



MAYTIME is VERY EARLY and is ready 

 for picking from four to eight days earlier 

 than Premier, Dorsett and other early varie- 

 ties. The berries ripen quickly, usually giving 

 two biggest pickings at premium prices before 

 other berries are in market. Free grower, re- 

 sistant to leaf spot and scorch. Glossy bright 

 red, large to medium berries of fine, juicy des- 

 sert quality. Good shipper. 



MAYTIME has been successful as far north 

 as Massachusetts, but should, be planted with 

 caution iu areas where late frosts are a pro- 

 blem. 



MAYTIME PRICES: 100 plants $2.00; 

 1000 plants $10.00. Complete price list on
