Redstar — a really great strawberry 
PLANT GROWTH AND PRODUCTIVENESS 
Redstar makes a very robust plant growth — plenty of large, strong, deeply rooted plants 
with foliage so healthy and green it might well be on a beautiful ornamental plant. 
Those big plants really turn out big crops. They are most productive for a very late 
variety. A sure cropper because they bloom so late, after frost danger is usually over. 
BERRIES 
Large average size, with the largest ones broad and slightly ridged. (See picture 
below.) The only weakness Redstar has showed so far is a tendency to fasciation, which 
under some conditions not fully known may become serious. 
Fine quality -some say next to Fairfax. 
Firm enough for distant shipment. 
Very attractive with a bright red color which does not turn dark, a tough glossy skin 
with slightly raised yellow seeds, a light green cap. Pretty as a picture, Redstar Berries 
entice the eye. They sell well. 
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT REDSTAR IS LATENESS OF RIPENING 
Many days after all other good varieties are through, Redstar will still be turning out 
berries in abundance! If pickers are scarce you can nearly double your production of fancy 
berries by stretching out the season with Redstar! 
Prices in normal times will be much better because of avoiding local competition with 
all other varieties! 
Grow Redstar in all the Northern States, as far south as Virginia, and West to Missouri. 
Grow Redstar on rich moist land and reap a rich reward. We have the plants to start 
you right. Price list, page 31.

CONN. - "Your Redstar has been outstanding on all occasions for production." E. G. Beach. Litchfield Co. 
MO. "Redstar! Such nice berries I never saw before." - Clinton H. Hoblitzell, Jackson Co. 
PENNA. - "Redstar was my best producer -112 quarts of perfect berries from 100 plants." Blair R. Evans. 
Montgomery Co. 
N. J. — "The 1.000 Redstar plants purchased in the spring of 1946 grew so well some reached the height of 
13 inches. This past summer we picked over 1,000 quarts of berries from those 1,000 plants. This was the sum- 
mer of 1947 when late frosts killed 90°o of strawberry blossoms on most varieties in this section. Find your 
plants superior to any." — Mrs. Rose Scrivani. Cumberland Co.
