VIRUS-FREE 

 FROM U. S. D. A. 



AMAZINGLY PRODUCTIVE 

 DISEASE RESISTANT 



For several years this new variety was 

 tested as Md.-U. S. 2601 in man}^ areas 

 of the U. S. A. In our test plots it has 

 been outstanding for high yields of large, 

 firm, very bright, attractive berries that 

 hold their fine color long after picking. 

 These same features have caused Sunrise 

 to receive excellent reports in official tests 

 from New Jersey to Missouri. It was 

 selected from a cross of U. S. 4152 x 

 Stelemaster and has inherited multiple 

 resistance to the red stele fungus and 

 resistance to Yerticilliura wilt. Sunrise ripens early — about 2 days after Earlidawn — and produces heavy 

 yields of vers' attractive berries with a fine cap and pink flesh color. The flavor is good for fresh use and 

 preserves but when frozen the color is a bit light for top quality. 



Plants of Sunrise are vigorous and resistant to leaf scorch and powdery mildew but susceptible to leaf 

 spot. This variety is also very drought resistant and may make an excess of runners with resulting de- 

 crease in fruit production if not thinned. We recommend Sunrise as a very promising early, commercial 

 variety especially in soils where red stele and Yertieillium wilt occur.

EARLY COMMERCIAL VARIETY FOR 



EARLIBELLE 



SOUTHERN AREA. VIRUS-FREE 



Earlibelle resulted from the cooperative breeding program of the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture and the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. Apparently it will take the place of 

 Dixieland in some areas because its berries are unusually firm and thus excellent for a southern shipping 

 variety. It ripens early and produces fine crops of beautiful, bright, tart berries that "hold their size." 

 Earlibelle is a very vigorous variety and makes lots of plants even in sandy soil or dry weather. Dr. M. M. 

 Parker, of the Virginia Truck Experiment Station, found this variety to be extremely productive, early 

 in ripening, and to produce large, firm berries even when fruiting beds were crowded with plants. We 

 recommend Earlibelle for trial from eastern Maryland into Georgia and other southern areas.
