SPARKLE — The Best Berry to Freeze 
Sparkle is a promising berry developed in New Jersey. We find it 
to be a vigorous growing productive mid-season variety resembling 
Fairfax, one of its parents, in appearance, firmness and color. The 
flavor and quality are much like Fairfax. The berries are glossy, 
bright and medium to large in size. One of its outstanding features 
is its productiveness. 
Sparkle is rapidly gaining popularity in the Northern States be- 
cause of its outstanding freezing qualities. At the New York State 
Experiment Station at Geneva, N. Y., Sparkle was tops in a freezing 
test involving 300 varieties of strawberries. 
If you are producing berries for a commercial freezing plant or 
just growing them for your home locker, you will want to try Sparkle. 
MIDLAND — A New Heavy Yielder 
Last year in fruiting the Midland, a new variety from Maryland, 
for the first time, we were impressed by the size, quantity and beauty 
of the berries and by their fine distinctive flavor. In our section they 
were one of the earliest berries to ripen and continued to bear large, 
firm, bright red berries over a long picking season. 
The plants are large and healthy and produced in moderate num-_ 
bers. 
Recommended as an excellent freezing variety. 
Make a trial planting of Midland and see its many excellent qual- 
ities for yourself. 
FAIRPEAKE — A High Quality Late Berry 
Fairpeake is a cross between Fairfax and Chesapeake and com- 
bines many of the best qualities of both. It is a large handsome firm 
high quality late berry. It is not a prolific plant maker but is better 
than Chesapeake in that respect. The plants are robust and healthy. 
For the home garden Fairpeake will probably excell Robinson as 
a late berry because of its top notch quality. In commercial plantings 
Robinson is probably the better berry because of its tremendous yields. 
RED STAR — The Latest of All 
Red Star was developed by the U.S. D. A. recently and has been 
advertised as the best late variety. The plants are very large but 
make only a moderate number of new plants. Red Star sets such 2 
very heavy crop of berries that it needs a plentiful supply of moisture 
to mature them to good size. The berries are very large but with us 
they tend to grow small and somewhat knotty if conditions become 
hot and dry. Red Star is bright red, firm and somewhat rough and 
irregular in shape. Quality is good. We recommend that you give 
Red Star a trial. Supply of plants is very limited.
