WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTIONS 



VESPER 



Large, Late and Productive 



VESPER was released through the 

 New Jersey Experiment Station after 

 extensive testing and we listed it for 

 the first time in 1963. Utah Shipper 

 and Jerseybelle are parents. Like Jer- 

 seybelle, VESPER has proven itself 

 best adapted to the more northern 

 states. 



VESPER plants are medium in size 

 but vigorous in runner making. It is 

 exceptionally productive. Lack of re- 

 sistance to red stele, verticillium wilt 

 and foliage diseases is a drawback but 



/ like your plants better than any I have 



ever planted.

 W. F. Allen Co. for being so honest and

A friend of ours recommended that we buy 

 our plants from you. She had nothing but 

 praise for your plants so we would like to 

 place a small order. Thanking you in ad- 

 vance for attention to this small order.

VESPER plants will grow and produce 

 well if your land is free of these dis- 

 eases. 



VESPER berries are large and 

 lovely with pretty green caps. Fruit is 

 a rich red color and very glossy. Large 

 primary berries are sometimes fur- 

 rowed. Later fruits are smooth. Seeds 

 are raised and attractive. Mild flavor. 

 Firm enough for commercial purposes 

 to the north but somewhat soft for dis- 

 tant shipments. VESPER is very pro- 

 ductive of large, late berries and will 

 extend the season for the growers in 

 the northern states. Order your plants 

 now. See color page 29.

Dear Sir: I'm pleased to inform you that all strawberry plants I ordered and received 

 from your firm were planted immediately and now, 6 weeks later, all plants are already 

 in full bloom and many have already many green berries, which I believe is ample 

 proof of a "good product" — thank you,
