Despite a very dry season the Midway we obtained from Rayner’s last season grew very well and yielded the 
finest strawberries grown in this area. Some measured 6 inches around.

Ee SUORECROP Bae 
Surecrop ripens in mid-season and produces heavy crops of large, bright red berries with a nice cap | 
and bright, raised seeds. The berries have a good uniform shape and a fine appearance. Its flavor is good 
for fresh use and preserves, and for freezing it is one of the best. The flesh is quite firm and therefore © 
Surecrop will hold up well for shipping and any type of market sales. 
Plants of Surecrop are tall and unusually vigorous and runners are produced so freely that care must be 
taken to prevent the fruiting rows from becoming too wide. We recommend a planting distance of at 
least 2 ft. between plants in the row and 4 ft. between rows. After the beds reach a width of 20-24 inches 
all subsequent runner plants should be removed. Fertilizer should be applied in August but not in the 
spring of the harvest season. These simple practices will insure the best results with Surecrop and once 
you learn how to grow it this will be one of your favorite varieties. See inside front cover and page’ 
20 for further details and complete prices.

I was amazed at the yield from the 25 Surecrop you sent as a bonus. The season was very dry and these 
Jew plants produced more berries than the other 500 plants. Mrs. Oscar DeHart, Henry, Virginia
