UNUSUALLY 
VIGOROUS 
Extra Large Berries 
Robinson (also known as Kardinal King and Scarlet 
Beauty) has several outstanding good features that far 
outweigh its less desirable qualities. It is one of the most 
vigorous plant makers and will often give good results in 
poor or sandy soils where other varieties fail. Even under 
drought conditions it will usually produce good crops. An- 
other fine quality is its very large berry size. Fruits of 
Robinson are very big, and with their light red color they 
bring good prices. Its ripening period begins soon after 
Premier, but it is generally considered a midseason variety. 
In Michigan Robinson is the leading commercial variety. 
The plants are small but the fruiting beds are very wide and 
vigorous—in fact, best results are obtained if late-formed 
runners are removed. 
In cool climates the quality and firmness of Robinson is 
good enough to satisfy most customers. However, in warm 
areas it may not be suitable. Because of its vigor and large 
berry size Robinson remains a favorite of many home gar- 
deners and commercial growers in the northeast. Rayner’s 
registered virus-free stock of Robinson will bring the best 
out of this variety. For big berries try Robinson.

We received the strawberry plants and they are growing beautifully. They have grown so much in such a 
short time that it is almost unbelievable. Mrs. R. F. Coonny, Wes’on, Connecticut

sNew= FULTON 
ATISSISYVAVN 
From N. Y. Experiment Station 
Fulton is another fine variety resulting from the excellent 
breeding program of the New York Agricultural Experiment 
Station. It was introduced in 1959 and has subsequently 
proven to be adapted to most of the northeastern and central 
states. This variety was introduced primarily for use as a 
northern commercial variety, since the berries are firmer 
than most varieties generally adapted to northern conditions. 
The flesh is firm and the skin is fairly tough, so that the ber- 
ries have good handling and keeping quality. Fulton ripens 
about midseason and has good yields of bright, attractive 
berries. The flavor is good, and freezing quality is also 
very good. Plants are vigorous, productive, and resistant 
to leaf troubles. We recommend our registered virus-free 
stock of Fulton to northern growers who want a_ high- 
quality berry with improved firmness, combined with good 
quality and fine flavor. 
Prices: 25 Plants $2.50; 50 for $3.75; 100 for $5.60.
