MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
SPARKLE—This is a new variety which we are offering for the 
first time this year. As we have not fruited it as yet, we can only 
give you the description as given by other growers. It is a mid-season 
berry with vigorous, healthy plant growth. It produces a large crop 
of glossy berries which are not as large as some other varieties. It is 
rated as resistant to Red Stele and is recommended as a substitute for 
Catskill where that variety does not do well. 
.. rl EMPLE--This is a new variety which we fruited last year for the 
first time. It is a cross of Aberdeen and Fairfax and is very resistant 
to the Red Stele disease. It is an excellent plantmaker and produces 
a good crop of firm berries. This variety can be recommended for trial 
by both commercial and home gardeners. 
MIDLAND—This looks like one of the coming mid-season varieties. 
It makes a lot of plants and produces a large crop of firm, glossy, 
medium to dark red berries. On the light sandy soil of most of our 
land, it makes many more plants than the Catskill. We hope that you 
will try some. We have a nice lot of plants for this spring. 
LATE VARIETIES 
ROBINSON—We have been very well pleased with the Robinson 
variety for the last three years on our farm. With us it makes a very 
wide row of plants and produces as large a berry as any variety which 
we have ever seen. The berry has a nice green hull and has a glossy 
appearance. With us the Robinson is late enough so that we are listing 
it with our late varieties this year, even though it is slightly earlier 
than Red Star. 
FAIRPEAK E—tThis is an excellent quality late berry. It is a cross 
of the Fairfax and Chesapeake varieties. Berries are large, attractive 
and very late. It makes a nice plant growth and we can recommend 
it for both home and commercial growers. 
RED STAR—This is probably the leading late berry at the present 
time. With us it produces a nice round berry in heavy quantities very 
late in the season. With us the Red Star did not run very well last 
year and we believe that it is at its best on a fairly wet soil.
