Robinson 
Robinson is the latest good variety to be introduced in 
the middle-west, a cross between Premier and Washington. 
It has attained a wide spread popularity more quickly than 
any kind since Premier. 
The foliage of Robinson is light green with the cupped 
leaves of Premier, which it rather closely resembles. It 
runs very freely, however, easily making a good fruiting 
row. Plants are rather small. 3 
The berry is one of the largest. It is smooth 
skinned, glossy, bright red, with the prominent 
yellow seeds and nice green cap which make 
for an attractive appearance. Berries are. gen- 
erally firm enough for handling, and of good. 
quality. We have had some reports, however, 
that the fruit was a little soft in case of heavy 
rains and continued damp weather. 
Strawberries often act differently under different climat- 
ic conditions, but in the middle-west Robinson is perform- 
ing exceptionally well. Total production per acre has been 
high, and the large and attractive fruit has sold well. Rob- 
inson is a good berry for your own use. and for commercial 
purposes it is second only to Premier in our area. Ripens 
abcut a week later than Premier.
