WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTIONS 



LATE VARIETIES 



ALBRITTON 



Classy Carolina Beauty 



ALBRITTON was introduced in North 

 Carolina in 1945. ALBRITTON is a 

 vigorous and productive variety when 

 grown in North Carolina and some 

 areas of Virginia and Maryland but 

 lack of hardiness prevents it from 

 being grown extensively in other areas. 

 ALBRITTON plants are vigorous 

 and make runners freely. Where well 

 grown, ALBRITTON plants are pro- 

 ductive and set many blossoms. Berries 

 of the ALBRITTON variety are beau- 

 tiful. No other strawberry has more 

 class and these berries are always in 

 great demand. Berries are large and 

 lovely, vivid red turning to deeper red 

 when fully ripe. They are unusually 

 glossy, uniform in shape. Flavor is ex- 

 ceptional. Berries are firm enough to 

 ship to northern markets. Well adapted 

 to freezing. ALBRITTON is medium- 

 early in ripening and one of the most 

 beautiful berries in attractiveness and 

 eye appeal. Try some plants of Al- 

 britton this season. Order now. 



Gentlemen: Your plants are superb! En- 

 closed is my order for some Fairfax, Ves- 

 per and Sparkle plants. Last year I planted 

 your Marlate, Raritan, Empire and Jersey- 

 belle. They all look fine now. After they 

 finish bearing this season, I'll give you a 

 report on each of them. I intend to try all 

 of your varieties suitable to this section of 

 the country as I have had splendid results 

 with my previous orders from your com- 

 pany. Yours very truly,

APOLLO 



High yields 



APOLLO was released in 1970 in 

 North Carolina. It has Tennessee 

 Beauty, Southland and Missionary in 

 its parentage. APOLLO, along with 

 Atlas, was introduced as possible labor 

 saving commercial variety because of 

 large fruit size and high yield. 

 APOLLO was widely tested before re- 

 lease and performed best in the south- 

 eastern and south-central portions of 

 the United States. 



APOLLO plants are short to aver- 

 age in size. Leaves are light yellow- 

 green to medium green in color and 

 smaller than average in size. Leaves of 

 APOLLO ARE RESISTANT TO 

 LEAF Spot and powdery mildew and 

 tolerant to leaf scorch. Plants of 

 APOLLO are medium in vigor and 

 runner production, performing well in 

 matted rows. 



APOLLO Berries are large and 

 sweet. Main crop berries are long 

 conic, very smooth and regular. Caps 

 are medium large and seeds are abun- 

 dant, bright yellow and slightly raised. 

 Firmness of fruit is an important ship- 

 ping and processing character and 

 APOLLO berries are firm and very 

 tough skinned. They are flavorful, glos- 

 sy, very attractive for fresh fruit ship- 

 ment, local market or pick-your-own 

 operation. They are tasty for the 

 freezer but somewhat pale colored for 

 best frozen pack appearance. If you are 

 located in those areas where APOLLO 

 grows well, you must have some plants 

 for your garden. Order today.
