SENATOR DUNLAP 



TENNESSEAN 



A fine old variety that has been grown in the 

 middle and northern states for many years. It is 

 an extremely vigorous grower, making lots of 

 plants which are very productive. Berries are 

 medium in size, a bright rich red clear through 

 and of good (juality. One of the best for can- 

 ning. The hardiness of the Dunlap plants makes 

 the variety a favorite where the cold winters 

 injure the weaker kinds. Canada, Maine, Iowa 

 and Minnesota are among the places where Dun- 

 lap is appreciated. We have lots of good Dunlap 

 plants. Price list page 32. 



Tennessean, like Tennessee Beauty and Ten- 

 nessee Shipper, was originated by Dr. Drain and 

 introduced from the West Tennessee Experiment 

 Station. It is an early berry somewhat resemb- 

 ling Blakemore, but a little longer, more pointed 

 and slightly deeper red in color. Plant growth 

 is very vigorous, e(|ualling Blakemore. In some 

 tests in Tennessee Tennessean outyielded Blake- 

 more. The berries are good for freezing and are 

 equally good for shipping. With us Tennessean 

 has not been as good as Blakemore, Tennessee 

 Beauty or even Tennessee Shipper in total yield, 

 but the plants are (juite productive and produce 

 nice looking marketable berries that are firm 

 enough to be excellent shippers. If you are va- 

 riety minded Tennessean is well worth trying.

ALBRITTON 



*'From the virus free Albritton plants we 

 secured from you we had the largest crop 

 of the finest berries we have ever seen^ 

 So writes the Epting Distributing Company 

 of Lexington County, South Carolina. 



Albritton has taken by storm the straw- 

 berry acreage of eastern North Carolina 

 where it has been most widely grown. 

 Albritton berries are beautiful; the color is 

 vivid red, turning to deeper red when fully 

 ripe. They are unusally glossy and hold 

 the glossy appearance longer than any 



variety yet tested in North Carolina. Re- 

 ports from other states indicate that this 

 beautiful glossy appearance and large size 

 are retained in states at least as far north 

 as Maryland and New Jersey, although the 

 yield in those states is not quite up to 

 Albritton North Carolina performance. 

 There is is not only the largest but also 

 the heaviest yielding of all varieties. The 

 size is not much larger than fancy Massey 

 but in productiveness is definitely superior 

 to Massey. The berries are very uniform 

 in shape, seldom producing 

 rough or irregular fruit. The 

 flavor is good to excellent, but 

 it is not considered a good 

 freezing berry. 



Albritton was first selected 

 from a field of seedlings in 

 1946 and has made the grade 

 in a big way. Growers every- 

 where except far north should 

 test Albritton. Those who do 

 may get some big yields. They 

 will certainly get some beauti- 

 ful big berries, as fine and 

 shiny as any they have ever 

 seen. Price list page 32.
