INCORPORATED DATA 

FRUITS FOR COMMERCIAL AND HOME FREEZING 
In response to repeated requests for information on fruit varieties 
for quick freezing, we are listing the best selected fruit and berry 
varieties as being the most satisfactory. 
APPLES—Grimes Golden, Stayman Winesap, Gallia Beauty, Cort- 
land, Northern Spy, Wealthy and Winter Banana, or any firm-fleshed 
apple freezes well. 
CHERRIES—Montmorency and Early Richmond are recommended. 
Sweet cherries do not freeze satisfactorily as a rule. 
PEACHES—Red Haven is highly recommended. Golden Jubilee, 
Early Elberta, Kalhaven, Shippers Late Red and Welcome Hale 
are also satisfactory. Regular Elberta may be used for freezing 
where a peach is desired for cooking and pies. 
BLACKBERRIES—All varieties are satisfactory for freezing when 
fruit is desired for cooking or pies. 
RED RASPBERRIES—Latham and Indian Summer are best, but any 
other firm variety is satisfactory. 
BLACK RASPBERRIES—Most all varieties may be used but they 
are not too good for dessert, due to their mushy condition on 
defrosting. 
STRAWBERRIES—Blakemore, Fairfax and Premier are excellent 
for quick freezing. Any other variety may be used which does 
not mush on defrosting. 
ASPARAGUS—Mary Washington is highly recommended as it 
retains its firmness after defrosting.

To Whom It May Concern:
