SCARLET BEAUTY 
The world’s greatest strawberry, Scarlet Beauty will produce 
more huge first class berries per acre than any variety we have ever 
seen. It has healthy foliage, is an excellent plant maker and a great 
producer. This makes the Scarlet Beauty the best today. , 
The above is quoted from the catalog of the grower from whom 
our planting stock was obtained and we believe the above claims 
to be substantially correct. It is the best light or dry land berry 
we have yet found. Our 1947 crop was a fine one and brought the 
highest price of any of our varieties. It makes a very showy box. 
__ According to some reports the Robinson and Scarlet Beauty are 
identical varieties and we think that may be so. If purchased by 
either name it is a most outstanding berry. 
PEARL (Late) 
A. good late variety but not as good a cropper as Catskill or 
Premier. It makes plants freely and berries are large making a 
very attractive box. 
PATHFINDER (Early to Mid-season) 
Introduced several years ago by the New Jersey Experiment 
Station. Berries medium large, smooth, uniform, attractive in ap- 
pearance. Best suited for growers where markets are near. We have 
been fruiting Pathfinder for many years and have found it a heavy 
producer, especially under drought conditions. Plants are very vig- 
orous. Berries are very good quality and flavor. It has been a 
very profitable berry with us. Pickers like to pick the berries, they 
fill up the boxes so fast. It is quite resistant to red stele. 
SPARKLE 
A new variety, gaining in popularity. It is recommended for 
States from New Jersey North. Many growers think the quality 
better than Premier or Catskill. It is certainly a more shiny and 
attractive berry. It resembles the Pathfinder in shape but makes a 
prettier box. In tests for freezing it ranks near the top. We recom- 
mend it very highly for trial. It looks promising. | 
ELGIN 
This is the latest of any variety we have tested. It is free of 
disease and a great plant maker under normal conditions. Its roots 
are short so should be on medium heavy land. The berries are largest 
we have, even larger than the Robinson. The berry is rather dull 
in appearance but the size offsets that. Our Elgins were planted on 
light land last year and owing to our severe drought supply is very 
limited.
