SCARLET BEAUTY 



(Also called 

 Robinson) 



Few varieties liave ever received the acclaim that has 

 greeted SCxVRLET BEAUTY since it originated in Michigan 

 several years ago. Reports indicate that it has outsold all 

 other strawberries in the midseason ripening range in Michi- 

 gan and it is now being grown throughout the Premier grow- 

 ing states. 



SCARLET BEAUTY is truly described by its name. Ber- 

 ries are the most uniformly large of any variety that we offer 

 and the cardinal red color is solid all the way through. Firm 

 skin makes it an excellent shipping berry that will withstand 

 plenty of handling. This firmness means freezing and canning 

 quality, too. 



ROBINSON (or SCARLET BEAUTY) is highly produc- 

 tive over a long fruiting season that begins soon after Premier, 

 Large thick fruiting stems with heavy foliage that makes a 

 wide fruiting row. Seems adaptable to a wider range of soils 

 than most varieties and has shown up better in light, sandy 

 dry land soils. 



SCARLET BEAUTY is certainly well worth a trial in 

 Premier growing areas. We know you will enjoy its unusual 

 beauty. We believe you will be pleased with the tangy, rich 

 sweet flavor that has made it so popular with northern growers.

CATSKILL 



For YOU if you want 

 the largest berries 



CATSKILL is still a great midseason from Virginia to 

 Missouri and all states North of this belt and is the most 

 widely planted midseason in the Northern States. 



It has lost some of its popularity to Sparkle, Fairland, 

 Big Joe and Scarlet Beauty because in dry years it is not 

 at its best. CATSKILL has excellent frost resistance and 

 in normal years can be considered one of the more vigorous 

 varieties. 



When CATSKILL is good it can't be beat — unbeliev- 

 ably large berries of delicious flavor and unusual beauty — 

 and it can produce more than 10,000 quarts to the acre. 

 Be sure to plant some CATSKILL along with some of the 

 excellent midseasons we have mentioned. 



Prices: 100 plants $2.90; 1000 plants $14.50. Complete Price List on Page 14.

 •'I purchased strawberry plants some two or three years ago and I 

 can't begin to tell how wonderful they are. Folks say they never got such 

 sweet, beautiful berries. I can't begin to fill the orders. I have Blake- 

 mores, Big Joes, and Catskills"
