TENNESSEE BEAUTY 



Tennessee Beauty was originated and introduced by the Tennessee Station. 

 It has been grown very widely in Tennessee, Kentucky and other middle states in 

 the succeeding years. Here in Maryland we would plant Tennessee Beauty as a late 

 variety for profit ahead of all others. Although originated primarily as a southern 

 berry, Tennessee Beauty has been very successful in some of the northern states. 

 Sometimes it has been subject to winter injury which in turn reduces the yield. 

 This is particularly true on fairly high, sandy soil. 



Highest yields in test after test throughout Kentucky and Tennessee helped 

 gain and hold the high opinion which most growers have for Tennessee Beauty.

Tennessee Beauty plants are very healthy and very productive. Tennessee 

 Beauty berries are medium to large in size where moisture is adequate and beds 

 are not too thick. Tennesee Beauty berries are very beautiful. (See color picture, 

 center of catalog.) They are excellent for shipping, firm enough so that if bad 

 weather or shortage of help delays picking for a day or two there need be very 

 little loss of fruit. Tennessee Beauty berries are among the best for freezing and 

 processing. They are easy to cap too. In fact they cap so easily that they are 

 sometimes subject to criticism when picked for the fresh market. 



We have a fine supply of well-rooted Tennessee Beauty plants. You will like 

 Tennessee Beauty and it will make money for you. Price list page 32.
