TEMPLE 



FOR POORLY DRAINED SOILS, A VARIETY ENTIRELY 

 RESISTANT TO ROOT DISEASES 



TEMPLE has become one of the most widely discussed 

 berries in recent years because it is proving, under actual 

 growing conditions, it is the answer to the strawberry 

 grower who has red-stele root disease in his fields. It is 

 nothing short of amazing to watch the remarkable growth 

 of TEMPLE where other varieties have failed to withstand 

 red-stele. Heavy bedding nature of plant requires little 

 or no fertilizer in fertile soil. 



Mention TEMPLE and we immediately think of un- 

 surpassed flavor in an early berry. Has a distinctively 

 different sweetness, embodying the very best from its 

 parents, Aberdeen and Fairfax. Large, light red berries 

 run to smaller size toward end of TEMPLE'S long fruiting 

 season, but flavor and texture is retained. TEMPLE was 

 accepted enthusiastically in markets last year and prices 

 held up very well. 



TEMPLE merits planting on any soil where Premier, 

 Catskill or Fairfax are grown. And, for the grower who 

 has a red-stele problem, it can truly put him back in busi- 

 ness in a big way. 



Highly Productive — Dense bed of unusually tall plants, resistant to leaf spot, highly re- 

 sistant to leaf scorch. Have shown little injury from frost and cold when other varieties have 

 seriously suffered. 



Good Yield, Good Shipper — Same fruiting season as Premier and Dorsett with firmer fruit 

 that stands up well for long distance transportation. 



Large, Light Red Berries — Good quality, combined with beauty, gives TEMPLE real sales 

 appeal.

DORSETT 



A VERY PROFITABLE EARLY VARIETY THROUGHOUT 

 THE EAST CENTRAL AND CENTRAL STATES 



Since 1933, DORSETT has been a leading early profit 

 maker throughout the East Central and Central States. 

 Real beauty matched by fine flavor is the secret. Fruit 

 does well in these areas if ordinary care is exercised in 

 picking and shipping. DORSETT' S beauty and high pro- 

 duction will repay the grower for the little extra care it 

 may require. 



Vigorous Growth — Highly resistant to leaf diseases. Requires 

 very little fertilizer or manure on rich soils. 



Large Size — Holds up well with suflScient moisture. Under 

 dry conditions may run smaller in size at end of season. 



Finest Flavor — Berries medium light red to center, retaining 

 light color and flavor quality even when full ripe. 



Good Producer — Fewer blossoms than Premier, but often outproduces it with larger berries. 



Fair Shipper — Slightly more firm than Premier, but requires careful handling. Highly val- 

 ued by growers in recommended areas.
