SURECROP 



THE MOST DEPENDABLE STRAWBERRY 



Virus-Free, Disease Resistant, 



Drought Resistant, Highly Productive 



Surecrop was developed by the U. S. Dept. of 

 Agriculture especially for resistance to the red 

 stele disease. It has such high resistance to 

 this trouble that it will produce perfect crops 

 where most varieties would be complete fail- 

 ures. In addition, Surecrop is resistant to Yer- 

 ticillium wilt, leaf spot, and leaf scorch. Then, 

 as an extra bonus, Surecrop is one of the most 

 drought resistant of all strawberries. Under al- 

 most any soil condition Surecrop's unexcelled 

 vigor will produce an abundant crop of wonder- 

 ful fruit. Thus, you can understand why we 

 call it the most dependable of all strawberries. 

 Surecrop ripens in midseason and has large, bright-red berries with a nice cap and bright 

 seeds. The berries are very uniform and have a fine appearance. The flavor is good for fresh 

 use and preserves; likewise, Surecrop is good for freezing. The flesh is quite firm; thus, 

 Surecrop will hold up well for shipping and keep its fine appearance for several days. There- 

 fore, this is an excellent commercial variety as well as a fine berry for home gardens. 



Surecrop has rapidly become one of the leading strawberry varieties in the eastern United 

 States. Its consistently high yields, amazing vigor, and excellent berry characteristics make 

 this one of the best of all for commercial profits and for dependable home garden production. 

 If you want a strawberry that is very easy to grow, and one that you can show with pride, 

 you definitely want Surecrop. 



Because of its great vigor, Surecrop may produce too many plants, so for best results be 

 sure to keep the bed fairly narrow with several inches between each plant.

Again in 1961, as in 1960, Surecrop was the highest yielder in official tests in West Virginia con- 

 ducted directly with strawberry growers. It led all other varieties with an average yield of 5,854 

 quarts per acre and in one test produced at the rate of 12,100 quarts. West Virginia Agriculture 

 Extension Service, Misc. Pub. No. 88.
