ROBINSON 
Robinson or SCARLET BEAUTY is the latest good variety to be 
introduced in this section, a cross between Premier and Wasningion. in 
a very short time it has attained a popularity second oniy to Premier. 
‘ihe foliage of Robinson is light green with the same cupped leaves 
es Premier, which it closely resembles in several stages of its growth. 
‘ihe plants, however, are deceivingly small to produce such a large 
berry, and they run so freely that they may grow too thick in the row 
ul.ess carefully watched. 
The berry is one cf the iargest. It is smoota 
skinned, glossy, bright red, with the prominent yeliow 
seeds and nice green cap which make ior an attractive 
appearance. Berries are generally iirm enough for 
handling, and of good quality. We have had some re- 
ports, however, that the fruit was a little soft in case 
of heavy rains and continued damp weathe:. 
Different climatic conditions have a great effect 
cn strawberries, but in the middle west Robinson is 
performing exceptionally well. The quality is good 
enough, and the size of the fruit is very large. Prob- 
ably the largest we know of. Production is high, and 
the fruit sells well. Very good for your own use, and 
second only to Premier as a commercial kind. Ripens 
2 week or ten days later than Premier.
