 that unmatched color of big ripe strawberries. Pro- 

 duction is good and the crop ripens uniformly with 

 ">0% being harvested in the first week.

 all strawberries, it has good frost resistance and

EHHEEEl 



FIRMEST OF ALL 



STRAWBERRIES. FINE 



COMMERCIAL VARIETY 



VIRUS FREE 



There are two very valuable features 

 of Dixieland that make it an important 

 commercial variety. First is the un- 

 usual firmness of the berry. This qual- 

 ity is of extreme importance to growers 

 and produce buyers who ship to distant 

 markets. Dixieland arrives in fine con- 

 dition and brings repeat orders because 

 when placed on the sales shelf it still 

 is bright and attractive. Another im- 

 portant quality of Dixieland is its re- 

 sistance to fruit rot. It will often pro- 

 duce perfect berries under wet condi- 

 tions that favor much loss of other va- 

 rieties. 



Dixieland ripens early and is suffici- 

 ently frost-resistant to give fine yields 

 in northern states. The berries are 

 large and light-red in color. They have 

 a distinct neck and a small cap. The 



flavor is definitely tart but for preserves there is no better variety, 

 helps make Dixieland an excellent variety for freezing. 



A genetic variegation (June Yellows) has developed in all known sources of the variety 

 Dixieland. This is not caused by a virus. Plants may be weakened and yields reduced. At- 

 tempts are being made to locate non-yellowing stock and we have removed all plants showing 

 this trouble from our fields. However, we can make no guarantee as to performance of Dixie- 

 land.
