POCAHONTAS 



EXTRA BIG YIELDS OF HIGH QUALITY BERRIES. EXCELLENT 

 FOR BOTH COMMERCIAL 

 AND HOME PLANTINGS. 



Pocahontas was introduced in 1954 by 

 the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture and the 

 Virginia Truck Experiment Station and 

 soon became one of the leading varieties 

 for both commercial and home garden 

 production Such popularity is fully 

 deserved since Pocahontas produces extra 

 big yields of very large, bright, high 

 quality berries that hold their fine ap- 

 pearance long after picking. Thus Poca- 

 hontas is a favorite with commercial pro- 

 ducers where these features are so im- 

 portant. The excellent quality and large 

 size of Pocahontas, together with fine 

 plant vigor, also make it one of the best for 

 home gardens. It ripens in midseason and 

 yields amazing crops of beautiful berries 

 that "hold their size" during its long har- 

 vest period. The berries have a fine bright 

 skin with yellow seeds and a good clear 

 red flesh color. Therefore Pocahontas is 

 fine for freezing and preserves. From New 



York to Georgia and westward to Texas this variety is still one of the very best and we recommend it 

 highly to all who want big crops of large, fancy berries.

Your plants of Pocahontas and Redstar were terrific and produced berries that were so tasty, big, and kept 

 so well. Mr. Wm. Hackman, Coopersburg, Pa.

DISEASE RESISTANT, DROUGHT RESISTANT, UNUSUALLY VIGOROUS 



As proof of its superiority Surecrop has again been rated first in "On-The-Farm" variety trials con- 

 ducted by the University of West Virginia Agricultural Extension Service. Its average yield from 7 

 locations was 1.37 quarts per plant set or 6,850 qts. per acre. In one planting it produced at the rate of 

 13,600 qts. per acre. Its fruit was rated large in size, firm in texture, and of good freezing quality. Similar 

 reports are obtained from so many customers in so many locations that we can unhesitatingly recommend 

 Surecrop as a truly remarkable strawberry for both home garden and commercial production. 



Surecrop has such vigor that it will often grow in poor or dry land where other strawberries fail. Also 

 it has multiple resistance to the red stele disease as well as resistance to Verticillium wilt and other 

 troubles. Because of its vigorous growth it is most important to prevent the fruiting bed from becoming 

 too heavily matted and to avoid any spring application of fertilizer. 



This excellent midseason variety has beautiful, firm fruit, with nice flavor and quality. Try Surecrop 

 for one of the finest strawberries you have ever seen. Further information on inside cover.
