The plants are quite productive but under good growing conditions 
will get too thick for best productions unless kept thinned. Fruit is 
medium to large in size, firm, and of bright red color. A week to 10 
days later than Premier, I recommend you give them a try. 
STARBRIGHT 
A high quality berry but a shy plant maker. A cross of Fairfax 
and Chesapeake. Large firm berries make Starbright a good shipper. 
Not recommended north of Boston. 
FAIRLAND 
A new midseason variety adapted to the region where Premier 
is an important variety. Fairland produces many plants, resistant to 
Red Stele and very productive. Produces as many plants and fruit 
as Temple but not as good quality. If you have trouble growing a 
good fruiting row of Temple I suggest that you try Fairland. 
LATE VARIETIES 
For the past three years, I have had trouble growing a good 
late strawberry variety. The land I have had them on seems to be 
too light and dry, but I will have a few plants available in the fol- 
lowing varieties. 
FAIRPEAKE 
Fairpeake will be the No. 1 late berry in a few years if present 
indications can be relied upon. A vigorous plant, preferring a moist 
soil, Fairpeake is a heavy bearer with better than average flavor. Berry 
size is good. 
CHESAPEAKE 
Chesapeake is a leader among the late varieties, but is not 
recommended to the inexperienced grower as it is sometimes difficult 
to get a good fruiting row. Berries are very large of fine quality. 
Try this old timer this year. 
REDSTAR 
A variety that is vigorous and hardy and is easily grown. As 
a commercial or home garden berry, Redstar is as fine as could be 
desired. The berries average large to very large, holding their size 
well to the end of the season. They are conic and sometimes fur- 
rowed. The flavor is rich though quite tart until fully ripe. Color 
is bright red and does not turn dark, the flesh is a light bright red. 
The seeds are yellow and protruding, which with its bright green cap 
gives Redstar berries a perfect color combination. 
Redstar is an especially vigorous plant maker, growing very 
tall with lots of leaves, thus helping to retard the ripening of the 
fruit. Redstar is very late, often ready for market after all other 
varieties are done.
