REDGLOW is- our nomination for the best combination of 

 beauty, flavor, and quality in a strawberry. It is so delicious

 addition, this fine early variety has resistance to the red stele 

 disease and sufficient hardiness to withstand northern winters. 

 For home gardens Redglow is a favorite because of its beauty 

 and flavor, and for local sales these same fine features result in 

 "repeat customers." Berry size is large and the outside color is 

 a bright, light-red while the inside color is also bright red.

EARLY COMMERCIAL VARIETY FOR SOUTHERN AREA. VIRUS-FREE 



EarUbelle resulted from the cooperative breeding program of the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture and the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. Apparently it will take the place of 

 Dixieland in some areas because its berries are unusually firm and thus excellent for a southern shipping 

 variety. It ripens early and produces fine crops of beautiful, bright, tart berries that "hold their size." 

 Earlibelle is a very vigorous variety and makes lots of plants even in sandy soil or dry weather. Dr. M. M. 

 Parker, of the Virginia Truck Experiment Station, found this variety to be extremely productive, early 

 in ripening, and to produce large, firm berries even when fruiting beds were crowded with plants. We 

 recommend Earlibelle for trial from eastern Maryland into Georgia and other southern areas.

VIRUS-FREE 

 FROM U. S. D. A. 



AMAZINGLY PRODUCTIVE 

 DISEASE RESISTANT 



For several years this variety was 

 tested as Md.-U. S. 2601 in many areas 

 of the U. S. A. It was very promising 

 with its high yields of large, firm, very 

 bright, attractive berries that held their 

 fine color long after picking. In 1967 the 

 first real tests on the commercial and 

 home garden markets were performed 

 and Sunrise proved to be even better 

 than hoped for in the area from New 

 Jersey to Missouri. It has multiple re- 

 sistance to red stele fungus and is resistant 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 and preserves but when frozen the color is a bit light for top quality, i 



Plants of Sunrise are vigorous and resistant to leaf scorch and powdery mildew but susceptible to leaf 



spot. This variety is also very drought resistant and may make an excess of runners, which should be , 



removed for maximum 3delds. We recommend Sunrise as a very promising early, commercial variety i 



especially in soils where red stele and Verticilhum wilt occur.
