sparkle 



SPARKLE is another Fairfax, Aberdeen cross 

 that is proving worthy of its fine parentage. Re- 

 sembles Fairfax in appearance and firmness, and 

 color is a slightly dark red so glossy it looks like 

 it is waxed. 



SPARKLE has much the quality of Fairfax and 

 as it follows Fairfax in fruiting season it should 

 prove a must with Fairfax growers. One of the 

 best varieties for quick freezing. 



Medium to large plants are vigorous and make 

 an abundance of runners. Sets a great number 

 of flowers per cluster and practically all develop 

 into fruit of marketable size. Has the high red 

 stele resistance of its Aberdeen parent. 



We offered SPARKLE for the first time last 

 season, after observing it for several years. There 

 was an immediate response from growers from 

 New Jersey to Canada who had heard so many 

 favorable reports from this variety. We believe 

 if you are a grower in this area you will want to 

 make a planting of SPARKLE.

Scarlet Beauty

NO STRAWBERRY 



EVER MORE 



TRULY NAMED 



Few varieties have ever received the acclaim that 

 has greeted SCARLET BEAUTY since it originated in 

 Michigan several years ago. Reports indicate that it 

 has outsold all other strawberries in the midseason 

 ripening range in Michigan and it is now being grown 

 throughout the Premier growing states. 



SCARLET BEAUTY is truly described by its name. 

 Berries are the most uniformly large of any variety that 

 we offer and the cardinal red color is solid all the way 

 through. Firm skin makes it an excellent shipping 

 berry that will withstand plenty of handling. This 

 firmness means freezing and canning quality, too. 



ROBINSON (or SCARLET BEAUTY) is highly pro- 

 ductive over a long fruiting season that begins soon 

 after Premier. Large thick fruiting stems with heavy 

 foliage that makes a wide fruiting row. Seems adapt- 

 able to a wider range of soils than most varieties and 

 has shown up better in light, sandy dry land soils. 



SCARLET BEAUTY is certainly well worth a trial in 

 Premier growing areas. We know you will enjoy its 

 unusual beauty. We believe you will be pleased with 

 the tangy, rich sweet flavor that has made it so popular 

 with northern growers.
