 other sections. Berries fair size, bright red color. It might suit your locality

 continue to bear until freezing weather. If properly cared for you can secure a 

 good crop of berries the first year. They are hoed, fertilized and cultivated just 

 as other varieties. For best results blossoms should be pinched off until the mid- 

 dle of July. Berries are fair size and delicirus. Plant some they will please you.
