A Ventura grower wrote Nov. 21, 1947: ‘“‘Last March I 
set out 1,500 Streamliner and began picking berries Aug. 
1. To date [I have picked 1460 12-0z. boxes of berries. 
I sure am pleased with them. Everybody who has tasted 
them likes them very much. I’ve picked,some of the nicest 
berries [| have ever senn from these plants. The plants 
still have lots of green berries on them yet. Several 
people who have bought berries from me want to get plants 
next spring.’’ 
A Calistoga grower wrote on Oct. 17, 1947: ‘‘Have you 
any Streamliner strawberry plants? The crop of berries 
from the acre [I planted brought me in $2,400.00 this year. 
Everyone here is asking me for plants.’’ 
A Roscoe, Calif., customer wrote Nov. 11, 1946: “The 
Streamliner strawberry plants [I bought from you last spring 
are everything claimed for them. Still picking fine ber- 
rpes...’ 
ROCKHILL EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY 
A San Gabriel customer, who had both Rockhill and Stream- 
liner, wrote Dec. 11, 1947: “Rockhill is wonderful. They 
ripen evenly all the way through and even when not fully 
ripe are sweet, with a wonderful flavor. They seldom rot 
even when touching the ground. However, they seldom touch 
the ground as the Rockhill habit is to bear the blossoms 
and fruit onlong stems which hold the fruit out of the 
dirt and away from sow and pill bugs, etc. They have borne 
continuously, large (and [I mean SMS beautiful berries 
in great quantity and only yesterday picked a pint from 
the 50 plants I have growing as a border of my flower bed. 
They are still full of blossoms and green berries. The 
Rockhill has wonderful aroma, also." 
A Vista, Calif., customer wrote Nov. 19, 1947: “I have 
a small patch of ROCKHILL strawberries which you shipped 
me last spring. They have doing extremely well and have 
been bearing fruit all summer until now.”’ 
NECTARBERRY ~-— BOYSENBERRY 
Some growers seem to have misapprehensions con- 
cerning these two varieties, claiming Nectar is a 
few days later than Boysen, slightly larger and hangs on 
the vines longer, whereas the opposite is true. [In our ob- 
servation Nectar is a week or ten days earlier than Boysen, 
ripening with the Young of which it is thought to be a 
chance seedling. It is very slightly smaller than Boysen, 
but the difference is very slight, and it is impossible to 
tell them apart in the market. Nectar acts like the Young, 
and does not have a minor second crop as does the Boysen. 
And the original introducers of Boysen told a customer of 
ours that they pick twice a week, which they said was all 
right for Boysen, but Nect ar would be better if picked 
every other day, indicating that Boysen hangs on the vines
