RED STELE RESISTANT 



Good Commercial Variety 

 For The Northern States 



FAIRLAND 



111 many areas Fairlaiul is rated as 

 only a fairly ^^ood variety, but in other 

 areas it is exceptionally j^ood. For 

 many years it has given excellent re- 

 sults in West Virjj^inia, Ohio, and Mich- 

 igan. Lately it has been excellent on 

 Long Island and has yielded at the 

 rate of 18,750 (luarts per acre. It is 

 winter hardy and will give good results 

 even in Canada. Fairland is consider- 

 ed an early-midseason variety. 



The berries are generally of medium 

 size but in spaced rows are very large. 

 Berry color is an attractive bright red 

 and results in a good frozen i)roduct. 

 Fairland is firmer than Premier and 

 has a good flesh color. It is a good 

 commercial variety in Michigan and 

 other northern states. The quality of 

 Fairland is good and it is fine for fresh 

 eating. The foliage is vigorous and 

 the plants are resistant to the red stele 

 disease.

Wolcott, Iowa June 20, 1958 



Fairland is definitely our best seller. The berries are very large if late-formed runners are re- 

 moved so that the beds do not become too thick. It has yielded at the rate of two quarts per plant. 

 Fifteen of the biggest berries would fill a quart.

Very Late AMBROSIA t^^rge 



Ambrosia is a very late variety that is a favorite in many home gardens. The berries are 

 large and bright and have a good flavor. Under good growing conditions Ambrosia will pro- 

 duce a good crop of berries. We do not have much information concerning the yields of Am- 

 brosia or its performance in the northeast thus, we recommend it mainly for trial plantings. 

 Plants of Ambrosia are large and have a good dark green color, 



100 plants $3.50; 1000 for $17.50. Complete price list on page 20. 



BIG JOE 



PROVEN GOOD BY MANY 

 YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL CROPS 



AN OLD FAVORITE 



Big Joe has been known since 1899 and 

 is still a favorite variety with many eastern 

 growers. This long record of performance is 

 proof that Big Joe has some very good qual- 

 ities. It ripens in midseason and produces 

 large, dark berries, with a solid red flesh. 

 The large cap makes the berry very attrac- 

 tive. Quality of the fruit is good and the 

 texture is firm. The foliage is tall and on 

 moist fertile soil. Big Joe will make a good 

 fruiting row. However, unless you are fa- 

 miliar with this berry, we would recommend 

 some of the newer varieties that are easier 

 to grow and have better production. 



100 plants $3.70; 1000 for $18.50.
