WINTER HARDY 
| HIGH QUALITY 
| FLETCHER was released by the New York 
| Agricultural Experiment Station in 1959 as a 
| result of the outstanding breeding program of 
) Dr. George L. Slate. For several years this 
variety has been tested in New York and other 
states and has proven to be a very promising 
| berry for both home use and commercial pro- 
duction. It is a cross of Midland with Suwannee, 
both of which have excellent quality, and as a 
result Fletcher has a wonderful flavor that should 
appeal to all who appreciate good strawberry flavor. Berries of Fletcher are reasonably large, bright 
in color, excellent for freezing, and sufficiently firm for commercial marketing. The plants are 
vigorous, tall, and very productive. Fletcher is a fairly late variety—ripening about 3 days after 
Sparkle. It is very winter hardy and well adapted to northeastern conditions. 
25 Plants $3.05; 50 for $4.60; 100 for $6.85; 1,000 for $30.50. Complete Prices Page 17.

THE BEST FOR PRESERVES AND JAMS—WONDERFUL FOR FREEZING 
Because of its fine qualities when processed or frozen BLAKEMORE once was the most widely planted 
\ commercial strawberry. Its sparkling, light-red, firm berries still produce the finest, most attractive 
) preserves you have ever seen. When frozen the berries hold their shape well and have fine color. For a 
| special attraction freeze some whole, with caps attached. Plants of Blakemore are especially vigorous 
and will grow well in nearly any soil. This early variety is especially suited to moderate climates but 
should do well in all but the coldest states. If you like strawberry preserves be sure to try Blakemore. 
25 Plants $2.80; 50 for $4.35; 100 for mg 45; 1,000 for $28.00.

FOR SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES 
Tennessee Beauty is recommended as a 
LATE COMMERCIAL VARIETY 
! commercial variety in south-central and east- 
'/ern states, where its firmness is a definite 
|, advantage. Many growers tell us that it is 
| their best producer. 
The berries are of medium size and have a 
| bright, rich red color. The flavor is good, and 
the slight tartness results in fine quality. For 
freezing and preserving Tennessee Beauty 
| rates high since it produces a fine bright prod- 
/-uct. One feature of this variety that is de- 
| sirable for processing is the ease with which 
| the cap comes off. With its many fine features 
such as good quality, firmness, beauty, and 
| high production, Tennessee Beauty is defin- 
| itely a good variety for both commercial and 
f home plantings. 
| Although we do not recommend large-scale 
| planting of Tennessee Beauty in the northern 
states, it is considered a good commercial 
variety in some sections.
