AMAZINGLY PRODUCTIVE 
DISEASE RESISTANT 
For about 5 years this new variety was 
tested as Md.-U. S. 2601 in many areas 
of the U. S. A. In our test plots it has 
been outstanding for high yields of large, 
firm, very bright, attractive berries that 
hold their fine color long after picking. 
These same features have caused Sunrise 
to receive excellent reports in official tests 
from New Jersey to Missouri. It was 
selected from a cross of U. 8. 4152 x 
Stelemaster and has inherited multiple 
resistance to the red stele fungus and 
resistance to verticillium wilt. Sunrise ripens early—about 2 days after Earlidawn—and produces heavy 
yields of very attractive berries with a fine cap and pink flesh color. The flavor is good for fresh use a: d 
preserves but when frozen the color is a bit light for top quality. 
Plants of Sunrise are vigorous and resistant to leaf scorch and powdery mildew but susceptible to leaf 
spot. This variety is also very drought res’stant and may make an excess of runners with resulting de- 
crease in fruit production if not thinned. We recommend Sunrise as a very promising early, commercial 
variety especially in soils where red stele and verticillium wilt occur.

AMeaEARLIBELLE 
EARLY COMMERCIAL VARIETY FOR SOUTHERN AREA. _ VIRUS-FREE 
Earlibelle resulted from the cooperative breeding program of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture and the 
North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. It was selected from a cross of Albritton x Md.-U. S. 
2101 and has been tested since 1956 as N. C. 2486. Earlibelle is best adapted to the area from southern 
Virginia to Georgia where its early ripening and extreme firmness should make an excellent replacement 
for Dixieland. In our tests and all other tests Earlibelle has been just as firm as Dixieland and thus 
should be an excellent shipping variety. The berries are uniform, conic in shape, bright sparkling red in 
color, and tart in flavor. Yields are very good in the south but decrease sharply in the north. Therefore 
we advise only trial plantings in the area north of eastern Maryland. 
At the Virginia Truck Experiment Station, in Norfolk, Earlibelle was rated as an excellent commercial 
variety as a result of 3 years testing. Although it is a prolific plant maker it still produced big crops of 
large, high quality berries. 
VIRUS-FREE 
FROM U.S. D.A. 
The outstanding feature of Earlibelle 
is its firm berries which make it as suit- 
able as Dixieland for long distance ship- 
ment. We predict that this variety will 
become very popular in a largé area of 
the South. as an early commercial va- 
' riety to grow with Albritton, Tennessee 
_ Beauty, and other southern varieties.: 
Plants of Earlibelle are resistant to 
leaf troubles, small in size, and very 
vigorous. Rayner’s registered virus-free 
stock of Earlibelle will give the best 
possible results with this very promis- 
ing new variety.
