PREMIER — This is the “Blakemore” of the North and East. 
Here in the mountains Premier will outyield any other variety but fruit 
is too soft to ship. Makes only a moderate number of large, deep rooted 
plants. These have large leaves that protect the bloom, so is practically 
frost proof. Premier is used more than any other in breeding new 
varieties, practically all of the new sorts having some Premier blood. 
The reason for this being that it has so many superior characteristics. 
SENATOR DUNLAP — This is the leading early variety in the 
Corn Belt and the Northwestern states. We grow by the million for our 
wholesale trade in the North but it is practically worthless in the South. 
TENNESSEE SUPREME — This is one of the new Tennessee 
Experiment Station varieties. Premier-Missionary cross and plants very 
much like Premier with fruit resembling Blakemore in tyne but of better 
flavor and not so good for shipping. Tennessee Supreme has consistent- 
ly outyielded all other varieties in this state, producing crops of asmuch 
as 12,000 quarts per acre. It is one of the best for quick freezing as the 
frozen product is tops in quality and appearance. Recommended as a 
good home garden and near-by market variety, also for growing for the 
rapidly developing quick-freeze industry. Tennessee Supreme is early, 
ripening with Blakemore. 
TENNESSEE SHIPPER — Another of the new Tennessee de- 
veloped varieties; cross of Blakemore and Missionary. This is an excel- 
lent mid-season shipping variety, will carry to any market in good con- 
dition. Fruit is medium to large and most of the crop grades No. 1 in 
size. Quality fair and color an attractive bright light red. Tennessee 
Shipper will do well over a large part of the country, being outstand- 
ingly good as far north as Indiana and also south to Florida where it has 
proven superior to Missionary in test plots on our Florida farm. Plants 
are large and healthy and make enough plants for a good row without 
a damaging surplus. 
‘ TENNESSEE BEAUTY — This is the late of the new Tennessee 
varieties. It is truly a beauty as the fruit is large, a beautiful clear red 
and of excellent quality. The plants are large and produced in only 
enough numbers for a well spaced row. Tennessee Beauty is adapted to 
the sections where Aroma is grown and is free from the serious root 
diseases that have caused Aroma to be so rapidly discarded. Tennessee 
Beauty is a good shipper and the size and general appearance of the 
fruit produces a very attractive package. We picked 270 crates to the 
acre of Beauty’s last spring. 
‘RED STAR — This new very late variety is outstanding for 
size, quality, and yields of beautiful deep red berries. Makes enough 
plants for a good matted row. Like all very late varieties it requires 
good soil and a moist location to produce at its best. An excellent 
variety for home gardens, north or south.
