 INSIDE COVER 



DISEASE RESISTANT, DROUGHT RESISTANT, UNUSUALLY VIGOROUS 



Year after year Surecrop continues to be the most popular variety we have to offer. Because of its 

 vigor and dependable crops of delicious fruit, Surecrop is highly in demand by both the home gardener 

 and the commercial grower. In a test of seven locations, it averaged 1.37 quarts per plant set. One of 

 the locations reported 13,600 quarts per acre. Its fruit was rated large in size, firm in texture, and of 

 good freezing quality. Similar reports are obtained from so many customers in so many locations that 

 we can unhesitatingly recommend Surecrop as a truly remarkable strawberry for both home garden and 

 commercial production. 



Surecrop has such vigor that it will often grow in poor or dry land where other strawberries fail. Also 

 it has multiple resistance to the red stele disease as well as resistance to Verticillium wilt and other 

 troubles. Because of its vigorous growth it is most important to prevent the fruiting bed from becoming 

 too heavily matted and to avoid any spring application of fertilizer. 



This excellent midseason variety has beautiful, firm fruit, with nice flavor and quality. Try Surecrop 

 for one of the finest strawberries you have ever seen. Further information on inside front cover.

Florida 90 



BEST FOR 

 FLORIDA 



Because of the lack of cold weather in Florida there is not sufficient winter dormancy for fruit develop- 

 ment in most varieties of strawberry. Florida 90 was developed in Florida for Florida conditions. This 

 is the berry that is grown so extensively for shipment to the North. Its berries are large and elongate 

 and have a rich red color and wonderful flavor. Not satisfactory north of Georgia.

Pocahontas 



EXTRA BIG YIELDS OF HIGH QUALITY BERRIES 



Pocahontas was introduced in 1954 by 

 the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture and the 

 Virginia Truck Experiment Station and 

 soon became one of the leading varieties 

 for both commercial and home garden 

 production. Such popularity is fully 

 deserved since Pocahontas produces extra 

 big yields of very large, bright, high 

 quality berries that hold their fine ap- 

 pearance long after picking. Thus Poca- 

 hontas is a favorite with commercial pro- 

 ducers where these features are so im- 

 portant. The excellent quality and large 

 size of Pocahontas, together with fine 

 plant vigor, also make it one of the best for 

 home gardens. It ripens in midseason and 

 yields amazing crops of beautiful berries 

 that "hold their size" during its long har- 

 vest period. The berries have a fine bright 

 skin with yellow seeds and a good clear 

 red flesh color. Therefore Pocahontas is 

 fine for freezing and preserves. From New 

 York to Georgia and westward to Texas 

 this variety is still one of the very best and 

 we recommend it highly to all who want 

 big crops of large, fancy berries.
