COLLECTIONS 
Collections F, G, H, I and J are made up of four of the most promising new varieties 
that have appeared in years. 
Midland: This fine variety has already made a great name for itself (see description 
page 12). If Midland made plants a little more freely it would be easy to call Midland the 
finest variety of strawberries ever introduced. 
Temple: Early mid-season variety that has proved to be extremely vigorous and pro- 
ductive. Developed primarily for its resistance to red stele Temple has proved too valuable a 
variety to be limited in any way. 
Sparkle: A new medium-late variety, originated in New Jersey, which is becoming a 
favorite in some areas because it, like Temple, makes a very robust, healthy plant growth 
and is very productive. Sparkle too is resistant to red stele and is excellent for freezing. 
Fairpeake: Finest quality; the only variety we have as good to eat as Fairfax. Under 
good conditions makes plenty of large strong plants and a heavy crop of beautiful highest 
quality berries. (See picture page 19.) 
These four outstanding new varieties cover the season: Midland-early, Temple-early 
mid-season, Sparkle-late mid-season, Fairpeake-late. These collections are highly recom- 
mended for the region indicated for home gardens and commercial growers who want a 
more complete selection. Taken with the varieties in Collections A, B, C, D and E, they 
really skim the cream from the list of modern high quality, high yielding and fancy straw- 
berries. 
Collection F — 100 plants— 25 each of the 4 kinds (4 lbs.) $ 3.90 
Collection G — 200 plants— 50 each of the 4 kinds (8 lbs.) 6.50 
Collection H— 400 plants— 100 each of the 4 kinds (16 lbs.) 10.75 
Collection I — 1000 plants— 250 each of the 4 kinds (35 lbs.) 21.50 
Collection J — 2000 plants— 500 each of the 4 kinds (70 lbs.) 33.00 
These Collections, S, O and U, include four varieties, all developed and tested in the 
South; three by the U. S. D. A. and one by the Tennessee Experiment Station. Two of them, 
Suwanee and Blakemore, are early varieties; the other two, Tennessee Beauty and Massey, 
are late kinds. Suwanee and Massey are very high in quality, Blakemore and Tennessee 
Beauty bear tart, firm, brightly colored fruit. 
Collection S — 100 plants— 25 each of the 4 kinds (4 lbs.) $ 3*40 
Collection O— 200 plants— 50 each of the 4 kinds (8 lbs.) 5.75 
Collection II — 400 plants— 100 each of the 4 kinds (16 lbs.) 9.50
