WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTIONS 



EARLIDAWN 



The early one with frost resistance 



EARLIDAWN was originated in 

 Maryland in 1947 and released in 

 1956: EARLIDAWN is a cross of 

 Midland and Tennessee Shipper. EAR- 

 LIDAWN is adapted very well in the 

 northeastern states and west to Mis- 

 souri as an early fresh market and 

 freezing variety. 



Plants of EARLIDAWN are pro- 

 ductive but generally make fewer run- 

 ners than most varieties. Flower stems 

 of the EARLIDAWN plants are short 

 and flowers are well covered with 

 leaves — giving protection against frost. 

 EARLIDAWN plants have fair re- 

 sistance to leaf spot and scorch. 



Berries of EARLIDAWN average 

 large in size and maintain large average 

 size throughout the season. Berries have 

 bright, light-red skin, bright-red flesh. 

 They are glossy, have a moderately 

 tough skin and are very firm. Seeds are 

 slightly sunken. Berries of EARLI- 

 DAWN are fairly uniform in shape and 

 their flavor is tart and good. For an 

 early berry that is great for eating and 

 freezing, you will want some plants of 

 EARLIDAWN to set this season. Or- 

 der early. See color page 4. 



FAIRFAX 



First for Flavor 



FAIRFAX was released in Maryland 

 in 1923. It wasn't long before growers 

 discovered the size, beauty and quality 

 of this great variety and it remains a 

 great favorite today. 



Plants of FAIRFAX are productive 

 but they are not free running. When 

 late season runners are picked off 

 FAIRFAX plants are especially pro- 

 ductive. Foliage is resistant to leaf spots 

 and leaf scorch but sensitive to virus 

 diseases. FAIRFAX plants are well 

 adapted to Virginia north and west- 

 ward to Kansas. 



Berries of FAIRFAX are medium 

 to large in size, attractive, and wedge 

 to blunt conic in shape. Berries are 

 firm enough and have a bright red color 

 when they first ripen. They darken on 

 holding, however, and this keeps 

 FAIRFAX from being great on the 

 wholesale market. The size, beauty and 

 quality of these delightful berries make 

 FAIRFAX an outstanding variety for 

 the retail markets and every home gar- 

 den should have some plants of FAIR- 

 FAX for a truly delicious taste treat. 

 Great for desserts! See color page 3. 



FLORIDA 90 



Great for Extreme South 



FLORIDA 90 was originated by Dr. 

 A. N. Brooks in Florida in 1947. From 

 that time until now it has been the 

 leader in Florida and is extensively 

 grown as a commercial variety. 



FLORIDA 90 plants are very pro- 

 ductive and in Florida and a few other 

 southern /States these plants are ex- 

 ceptional in runner making. FLORIDA 

 90 plants are best adapted to the ex- 

 treme south and are grown extensively 

 there and in Bermuda. 



FLORIDA 90 berries are red all the 

 way through. They are large, long and 

 pointed and it is easy to spot the 

 FLORIDA 90 berries on the markets 

 in the northern states off-season. They 

 ship very well and these large, tasty 

 berries are a delight for desserts wher- 

 ever they are found. 



Dear Aliens: I am 81 years but I would like 

 to plant a few berries this year, so if you 

 have what I ordered send me the bill and 

 I will send it back. Just so I get the 

 berries I ordered. John will be 79, but we 

 like to work in the garden, go to market 2 

 days a week, feel good. I always liked 

 your plants. Looking forward to hearing 

 from you.
