WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTIONS 



MIDWAY 



Great midseason for the middle states 



MIDWAY was a cross of Dixieland 

 and Temple, introduced in Maryland 

 in 1960. MIDWAY is well adapted 

 from the middle states west to Indiana, 

 with good results reported in the north- 

 east. 



MIDWAY plants are healthy and 

 vigorous, extremely productive. Plants 

 run freely. MIDWAY plants have good 

 resistance to red stele. MIDWAY 

 plants need irrigation on lighter soils — 

 they prefer heavy soils for best growth. 



MIDWAY berries are late midsea- 

 son. They are long conic, firm fleshed, 

 tough surfaced, glossy rich red. Fruit 

 is medium to large in size, with yellow 

 seeds. Very good for freezing. Excel- 

 lent flavor makes MIDWAY berries 

 always in demand for desserts. Our 

 MIDWAY plants are beautiful and you 

 should have some in your garden. Or- 

 der now. See color page 26. 



POCAHONTAS 



Productive and Popular 



POCAHONTAS was introduced in 

 Maryland in 1946. It was well re- 

 ceived and made steady leaps in popu- 

 larity, helped along by wide adapta- 

 bility. It grows well in nearly all areas 

 except the deep south. We used to ex- 

 clude the far west along with the deep 

 south when mentioning adaptability but 

 growers tell us that Pocahontas grows 

 well for them in California. 



POCAHONTAS plants are great 

 producers. Plants are vigorous and 

 make runners freely. Foliage has re- 

 sistance to leaf scorch and partial' re- 

 sistance to leaf spots. 



POCAHONTAS berries are large, 

 blunt conic. Skin is bright medium red. 

 Flesh is red. Berries are firm, making 

 them excellent for shipping and proc- 

 essing. POCAHONTAS berries are 

 great for desserts and fine for freezing. 



POCAHONTAS produces showy ber- 

 ries of quality. 



POCAHONTAS is one of the few 

 varieties that adapts well to setting in 

 the late summer for a partial crop the 

 following spring. Our plants of POCA- 

 HONTAS are looking very lovely and 

 you should order now to have some in 

 your garden. See color page 24. 



RARITAN 



Mid-season Beauty 



RARITAN was released in 1968 after 

 extensive testing. In the ancestry of this 

 fine variety are two beauties, Redglow 

 and Jerseybelle. RARITAN was intro- 

 duced in New Jersey and has achieved 

 a tremendous popularity in that state as 

 an early midseason berry. It is well 

 adapted to the northeastern states. 



RARITAN plants produce runners 

 freely so that RARITAN always makes 

 a good matted row. High yields are 

 obtained from RARITAN plants. 

 Plants of RARITAN are not resistant 

 to red stele root rot or verticillium 

 wilt and if either of these troubles is 

 known to be present in the soil where 

 plants are to be set, we would not rec- 

 ommend Raritan for growing there. 

 Where these diseases are not present, 

 RARITAN grows well, with high vigor 

 and great productivity. 



RARITAN berries are delightful. 

 Fruit is glossy, bright red with bright 

 yellow seeds that are partially em- 

 bedded. Caps are large and showy and 

 hold their attractive green color to mar- 

 ket. Flesh of RARITAN berries is firm 

 and the skin is quite resistant to abra- 

 sion. RARITAN fruits are of excellent 

 eating quality but flesh is a little light 

 for best processing. RARITAN berries 

 are large and beautiful. Order your 

 RARITAN plants now.
