The new strawberry that is entirely resistant to 
all root diseases 
This great new variety is a cross between Aberdeen 
and Fairfax and was produced by the U. S. Depart- 
ment of Agriculture for the purpose of 
obtaining a new variety which would be 
resistant to all root diseases and would 
be adaptable to low ground and wet 
weather conditions. This variety has 
proven to be a perfect answer to all of 
the above demands. It is a very re- 
markable grower and will survive con- 
ditions under which the ordinary straw- 
berry would be a total failure. It is very 
highly productive. The plants grow un- 
usually tall, very resistant to leaf spot 
and up to date have shown very little 
injury from frost and cold where 
other varieties have suffered se- 
verely. It is a good shipper, a 
heavy yielder, and ripens about 
the same time as 
premier and Dor- 
sett. The berries are 
large, light red, and 
have a brilliant 
calyx which pre- 
sents a fine appear- 
ance when picked.

NEW ALL RED PEACH 
We had originally planned to offer the new Red Rocket peach 
in a big way in our 1948 catalog. Owing to conditions, we 
find that we will have very few trees to offer of same this 
year so that we are devoting this space simply to acquaint 
our customers with a great new variety rather than to sell 
Red Rocket trees. 
The Red Rocket is a bud sport of Fertile Hale. It is a distinctly different 
peach in color and flavor, big in size, and it carries an imense amount of 
color when dead ripe. When ready for shipping or picking it will run 
about 60% red. It has a very tough skin and tests have proven it to be a 
wonderful shipper. It doesn’t dry rot on the tree to any great extent. It 
is larger than Hale Haven, more red in color, and ripens from 4 to 8 days 
after Hale Haven and about 6 days before Elberta. We feel that the Red 
Rocketcomes at a time when you need a peach, between Hale Haven and 
Elberta. Its quality can’t be equalled. Its size is very large and it carries 
more color than needed. It is a distinctly new variety obtainable only from 
Stahelin's and offered this year for the first time. The limited supply of 
trees makes it necessary for us to limit them to not more than two trees 
to a customer. PRICE: 1 tree, $2.95; 2 trees, $5.00. All trees 3 ft. and 
up. Not more than 2 to a customer.
