MIDLAND 



VIRUS - FREE. OUTSTANDING 

 EARLY VARIETY. Top Quality 



With development of virus-free stock, Mid- 

 land has become increasingly popular. At 

 one time it was difficult to grow but with 

 Rayner's registered virus-free plants, and 

 good" fertile soil. Midland will produce an ex- 

 cellent fruiting row. Throughout* the north- 

 eastern and Central states, this is one of the 

 finest of all strawberries for flavor, quality, 

 and appearance. The berries are very large 

 and have a beautiful deep red color. The 

 flesh is firm and has a fine solid-red texture 

 that rates Midland as one of the best of all 

 for freezing. Berries ripen very early and 

 bring top prices so this is a fine variety for 

 either small or large scale commercial use. 

 On Long Island virus-free Midland has prov- 

 en to be an outstanding variety for the high- 

 quality New York market. It is probably- 

 the most widely planted strawberry in that 

 important area. 



Throughout all but the southern states we 

 recommend Midland highly as an outstand- 

 ing early variety.

THE OLD FAVORITE EARLY BERRY 



For over forty years Premier has been the standard early 

 strawberry for northen states. It has long been recognized as one 

 of the most dependable varieties since it has frost resistance and 

 will grow under nearly any soil conditions. The foliage is vigorous 

 and makes an abundance of sturdy plants which produce heavy 

 yields. 



Berries of Premier have an attractive light red color and are 

 of medium size. The flavor is generally good and in northern 

 states is better than in warm areas. Premier is not as firm in 

 texture as some other varieties but is generally satisfactory for 

 fresh market sales and home use. In areas, where winter-hardi- 

 ness is important. Premier is a good choice since it has established 

 a fine record of performance in cold climates. Recently it has 

 been shown that Premier has resistance to Verticillium Wilt. This 

 trouble occurs in some northern soils, especially where tomatoes 

 and potatoes have been grown.
