Grower of the Robinson Strawberry 
SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN’S LEADING VARIETY 
The Robinson Strawberry, developed eight years ago, is 
Southwest Michigan’s leading variety. A prolific plant bearer, 
requires only 5,000 plants per acre set in 4-foot rows, plants 
two feet apart. Ripens about seven days later than Premier. 
Because it has outyielded and outsold any other variety we 
have ever grown accounts for the fact that 90% of the acreage 
grown in this area (now the greatest strawberry producing 
community in the USA) are Robinsons. 
_ Due to adequate and skilled help, I guarantee to dig, pack 
in moss and ship any order upon 24 hours’ notice. Have spe- 
cialized in raising strawberry plants for twenty-five years. 
Long distance haulers, canners and processors prefer this 
variety to any other. As to being the largest, sweetest and 
most preferred as to profit and demand, the following refer- 
ences are submitted— 
Otis Klett of Decatur, Mich., secretary of Michigan Small 
Fruit Growers Association, who has 32 acres of Robinsons. 
H. Weil Commission House, Detroit, Mich., who trucks 
Robinsons a distance of 180 miles. 
A. Benetti, manager of Sealtest Ice Cream, Chicago, IIl., 
who last year paid 25 cents per pound for Robinson berries (16- 
quart crates average 25 pounds, or four pounds heavier than 
other varieties). 
Orders accepted with 20% deposit.
