Two New Strawberries 
Worthy of Every Garden 
New Robinson (Early midseason.) Here 
is a new variety originat- 
ing in the commercial fruiting section of Michigan 
that is gaining favor by leaps and bounds for both 
home and market. This popularity is well deserved 
because of its wide adaptability and habit of making 
a better plant row than Premier, because of its fruit- 
fulness (almost half again as many as other standard 
varieties), and its very large attractive berries—which, 
of course, bring top prices on the market. One large 
grower has acclaimed, ‘‘These (Robinson) berries in 
all respects are the finest we have had in the past 
twenty years.” 
S arkl & This new variety ripens after Catskill, 
p thus extending the strawberry season 
with quality berries to the last. It has all of those 
good characters you want in a variety for table and 
culinary use, so it ranks ‘“‘Tops’’ for home planting. 
The berries are good medium size, most attractive, 
slightly dark red in color, and with a glossy finish 
almost like they were varnished. Sparkle has much 
the quality of Fairfax (one of its parents) and is an 
excellent freezing variety, ranking above most others 
for this purpose. The plants are vigorous and make 
an abundance of runners.

Dorsett and Fairfax 
Highest Quality—Largest Size of 
any of the early season Strawberries 
Dorsett is the early variety surpassing Premier in 
quality and production. 
Fairfax is supreme in quality—a flavor you can’t 
forget. Berries intense bright red, with waxen luster 
and are outstanding for the home garden and local 
market. 
: (PER.) The Premier is one of the most 
Premier popular varieties that we offer and it 
well deserves all the praise that can be given it. 
1. Premier is the first to ripen. 
2. Fruit large size and deep red color. 
8. Firm flesh and excellent quality. 
4. Heavy yielder and makes thrifty growth. 
5, You can depend on Premier for a good crop when 
other varieties are a failure. 
. An outstanding midseason variety in- 
Catskill troduced by the New York Agric. Ex- 
periment Station and well stands at the top as a late 
midseason variety of large size berries, heavy yields 
and a sure cropper. The large bright red berries are 
most attractive even though not as fine a finish as 
some of the early varieties. Quality equal to Premier, 
ripens in midseason and continues through the late 
picking period.

H. E. Bickel — June 18, 1946 — Ohio 
Last year I purchased New Robinson Strawberry 
plants from your company. In the fall I had a beauti- 
ful patch with rows just the right thickness; this 
Spring when they started to blossom, I had one solid 
mass and no sign of rows. The New Robinson are 
the most beautiful berries I have ever seen, with some 
having the size of pullet eggs.

Regarding the 5,000 New Robinson Strawberry 
plants you furnished us in the spring of 1945, would 
advise that these berries in all respects are the finest 
ones we have had in the past twenty years.
