An excellent representation of the Temple strawberry. 
T | THIS IS BECOMING RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF OUR 
emp € MOST VALUABLE VARIETIES, SINCE IT IS THE MOST 
RESISTANT TO RED STELE OF ANY KIND IN EXISTENCE. THIS IS 
MOST IMPORTANT, BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT RED STELE IS 
ATTACKING MANY VARIETIES ON MOIST LAND, AND IN SUCH 
LOCATIONS TEMPLE WILL PRODUCE A FINE CROP WHERE A 
GREAT MANY KINDS FAIL. 
APPEARANCE 
When picked and crated it is very handsome and sells on all markets. 
at fancy prices. The size is good and the shape is uniform and attractive, 
with a large green cap that enhances its beauty. The berries are held off 
the ground by strong stems which prevents the dirt from sticking to them, like 
it does to some kinds. 
FIRMNESS 
Temple is a cross between the well known Fairfax and the old Aberdeen, 
and is in demand on all markets that make distant shipping necessary, because 
of its carrying qualities. 
SELLING POWER 
On the Maryland berry area markets it now commands a higher price 
than almost any kind offered. We think that for local market it will always 
be in fine demand. 
NO THINNING NECESSARY 
It is a most vigorous grower on any type of soil. With a block planted 
as we plant them, in a field of many different kinds, Temple can be picked out 
from quite a distance by its rich, luxuriant growth, yet it does not get too 
thick for fruiting. ‘
