ROCKHILL STRAWBERRY 
(continued) 
A San Gabriel, Los Angeles Co., customer 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 
berries on long 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 large) beautiful berries in great quantity and only 
yesterday I 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.’ She had other 
varieties, too, including Streamliner, but rated Rockhill as by far 
the best. 
A Vista, San Diego Co., grower wrote Nov. 19, 1947: “I have a 
small patch of ROCKHILL strawberries which you shipped me last 
spring. They have been doing extremely well and have been bearing 
fruit all summer until now.” 
UTAH EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY 
Utah Everbearing and Utah Centennial are the same as or improved 
strains of 20th Century. 
A grower in San Fernando Valley told us that his Utah Everbear- 
ing, which he got from us, did much better than his 20th Century, 
which he got elsewhere. 
A grower at Aguanga, northern San Diego Co., got some Utah Ever- 
bearing plants from us late last spring. She wrote on Nov. 14th: 
“...they were grand plants and the berries off of same were big, 
wonderful tasty and a nice berry to raise.” 
An Orange Co. grower told us, “Bears all year.” 
The Utah State Agricultural College wrote us: “We have grown the 
20th Century and Utah Centennial strawberries. As near as we can 
determine they are identical.” ’

A grower in Sonora, Tuolumne Co., proclaimed this to be the best 
berry he ever grew, and others have made similar comments. 
This berry has been grown very successfully in various parts of 
California as well as in other states. It is a very fine berry, 
large, deep red, wonderful flavor, very productive, excellent ship- 
per and bears for a long period. 
Plants will be ready to ship about Mar. lst, but order soon 
before they are all sold.
