WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTIONS 



SUNRISE 



Vigorous, good grower 



SUNRISE originated from a cross with 

 Stelemaster in 1952 and was released 

 in the early 60's. 



Plants of SUNRISE are very vigor- 

 ous in runner production. They will 

 produce for you even in dry weather. 

 Productive SUNRISE plants have 

 triple resistance to red stele, good re- 

 sistance to verticillium wilt, leaf scorch 

 and mildew. These traits help make 

 SUNRISE one of the most vigorous 

 and productive varieties. Plants of 

 SUNRISE are best adapted to the 

 Middle States but growers report good 

 results to the north and south and west 

 to Missouri. 



SUNRISE berries are delightful for 

 desserts. They are glossy and medium- 

 size. Bright red, uniform color of the 

 skin does not darken on holding. Flesh 

 of SUNRISE berries is firm but a little 

 light for best freezing quality. Berries 

 are of a symmetrical conic shape with 

 later berries sometimes having a slight 

 neck. SUNRISE berries ripen very 

 early in the season and these delightful, 

 flavorful berries are always in great de- 

 mand. You should have some plants of 

 SUNRISE in your garden. Order now.

SUWANNEE berries are noted for 

 their superior flavor. Many experts 

 consider it the sweetest of all varieties. 

 It has been extensively used in straw- 

 berry breeding work for this reason. 



The plants are easy to grow with 

 good runner production. Leaf diseases 

 are seldom a problem with this variety.

 bright red and glossy. We would recom- 

 mend it for the specialty gardener. See

 mother ordered them. I will be looking

Gentlemen: I thought you may like to hear how your plants do here in Phoenix, Arizona. 

 The plants, 25 Blakemore and 25 Earlibelle, arrived in fine condition on March 13, 1973. 

 They were shipped Mar. 5 so they were 8 days getting here. As I had the soil prepared 

 in advance, I set the plants the same day they arrived. I didn't lose one plant and they 

 came in blossom in May. We left a few blossoms develop so we did have about 1 pint 

 of berries this year. Now the plants are full of runners and certainly look fine. Of course, 

 they have to be watered daily as we haven't had any rain since April 15 and since May 1 

 the temperatures have been 100 plus. Today it was 114 here in Phoenix. While in N.J. 

 your plants did excellent for me and these seem to be doing the same. Your plants 

 are tops with me. 



Thanks again, 

 Joseph W. Mason 

 Phoenix, Arizona 



Dear Sir: I just wanted to write to tell you what lovely plants those were that we got in 

 April and that they are doing so very nicely — they are something you can be real proud 

 of. Thank you,
