WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTIONS 



VERY LATE 

 VARIETIES 



MARLATE 



Large, Bright and Firm 



MARLATE was introduced in Mary- 

 land in 1969. Jerseybelle, Klonmore,* 

 Midland, and Tennessee Shipper are 

 in the parentage of this fine variety. 

 Performance has been good in Mary- 

 land, Pennsylvania, Ohio and into 

 neighboring states. 



MARLATE plants are very vigor- 

 ous. They are excellent runner makers. 



MARLATE is not red stele resistant 

 but appears to have resistance to leaf 

 diseases. Plants of MARLATE grow 

 well on moderately heavy soil. Very 

 productive. 



MARLATE berries are large size. 

 They are bright red in color. Shape is 

 round conic and flesh is firm. Berries 

 are smooth. Fruit stems snap easily, 

 facilitating picking. They are of excel- 

 lent quality for table use. Their large 

 size holds well all through the season. 

 Moderately fair for freezing. 



In the areas we mention we would 

 not hesitate to recommend MARLATE 

 for a very late variety to lengthen the 

 season. These good attractive berries 

 are well worth having in the garden.

REDSTAR 



Very Late and Very Lovely 



REDSTAR was introduced in Mary- 

 land in 1931. It has proved itself over 

 the years as one of the better very late 

 varieties for growing from Maryland 

 to southern New England and west to 

 Missouri and Iowa. 



REDSTAR plants are very vigorous 

 and productive. They run freely. Plants 

 of REDSTAR are very attractive, 

 growing full with large leaves. They 

 have good resistance to leaf spots and 

 leaf scorch. The lateness of REDSTAR 

 blooming will give you berries ten days 

 after other berries are gone — extending 

 your season for fancy fruit for the table 

 or for sale. 



REDSTAR berries are large and 

 showy. They are of fine quality. First 

 berries are very large and wedge 

 shaped, with later berries round-conic. 



REDSTAR berries are an attractive 

 bright red, darkening very little on 

 holding. They are good to very good 

 dessert quality but firm enough to ship. 

 REDSTAR berries are very attractive, 

 indeed, and you will not be disap- 

 pointed in them if you set some plants 

 of REDSTAR this season. Order your 

 plants today. See color back cover. 



Last year I had ordered 100 plants from you as usual. I gave 50 of them to my parents. 

 They had the most beautiful berries they have ever had and had picked 25 quarts 

 when they lost the rest of the crop in the June flood. Some were from the plants from 

 the previous year but even the new sets were bearing beautifully last year.
