is the early variety surpassing Premier 
7 is supreme in quality—a flavor you 
Fairfax can’t forget. Berries intense bright red, 
with waxen luster and are outstanding for the home 
garden and local market. 
. (PER.) The Premier is one of the most 
Premier popular varieties that we offer and it 
well deserves all the praise that can be given it. 
S arkl e This new variety ripens after Catskill, 
p thus extending the strawberry season 
with quality berries to the last. It has all of those 
good characters you want in a variety for table and 
culinary use, so it ranks ‘“‘Tops” for home planting. 
The berries are good medium_size, most attractive, 
slightly dark red in color, and with a glossy finish 
almost like they were varnished. Sparkle has much 
the quality of Fairfax (one of its parents) and is an 
excellent freezing variety, ranking above most others 
for this purpose. The plants are vigorous and make 
an abundance of runners. 
T m | THIS NEW BERRY IS VERY RE- 
emple sistant TO THE RED STEELE 
ROOT DISEASE. TEMPLE is a_ heavy yielder which 
ripens about the same time as Premier. The berries 
are large, light red and of excellent quality. This 
new variety was introduced by the U. S. Depart- 
ment of Agriculture for its resistance to root diseases 
and very adaptable to low ground and wet weather 
conditions.

BEARING VARIETIES — 
NEW ROBINSON 
(Scarlet Beauty) 
Berries Large as Golf Balls 
Honey Sweet Flavor 
The New Robinson is an early mid-season berry 
following Premier by about 5-7 days. Here is a new 
variety originating in the commercial fruiting section 
of’ Michigan that is gaining favor by leaps and 
bounds for both home and market. This popularity 
is well deserved because of its wide adaptability and 
habit of making a better plant row than Premier, be- 
cause of its fruitfulness (almost half again as many 
as other standard varieties), and its very large at- 
tractive berries—which, of course, bring top prices on 
the market. One large grower has acclaimed, ‘These 
(Robinson) berries in all respects are the finest we 
have had in the past twenty years.” 
ROBINSON is a berry that rates as “Tops” iv 
large size, true bright red Strawberry color, and as 
fine quality berry as you have ever tasted.
