Karitan 



LARGE GLOSSY FRUIT— A REAL PROFIT MAKER 



Since its introduction in 1968, Raritan is fast becoming one of the favorite early midseason varieties. 

 If you live in the area from the east coast of Mrginia to Long Island, ^laryland or Eastern Pennsylvania, 

 you can grow Raritan with excellent results. 



In addition to having large glossy red fruit with an attractive cap, Raritan is firm and ships well. 

 The fruit has very good flavor and is recommended for fresh market and table use but not for freezing. 

 Because of its beauty and excellent shipping qualities, Raritan has become the favorite variety in Xew 

 Jersey. 



Plants run freely and produce a good bed in the matted row system. Raritan is not resistant to red 

 stele or ^'erticilhum wilt; therefore, we recommend avoiding land where these diseases are known to exist. 



The demand for this new variety is expected to be heavy, so order early to insure getting your plants. 

 25 Plants $3.50; 50 for $5.25; 100 for $7.90; 1,000 for $35.00
