CORVALLIS, OREGON, 9/5/51: RED RICH are the most delicious 
strawberries I have ever eaten. For the first season I think 
the yield has been very good. They are large, firm, sweet 
and a gorgeous color. They surpass all the other strawberry 
varieties. 
PARADISE, CALIF., 9/5/51: I agree with the Ill. Exp. Sta. that 
the RED RICH is by far the best I have ever seen. In the 
first place the plants were much larger and stronger than 
any I bought locally. They arrived in perfect condition. The 
berries were the first to ripen and the yield was greater 
than any of the others. I also tried 20TH CENTURY, STREAM- 
LINER, SUPERFECTION and ROCKHILL. RED RICH cannot be topped 
in sweetness, flavor, appearance, size and color. 
LOS ALTOS, CALIF., 9/21/51: We have had very good results with 
our RED RICH strawberries. I have another variety of straw- 
berry and compared to it, the results of the RED RICH is 
amazing. The RED RICH are much larger, firmer and the color 
1s so much prettier. The flavor is much better — in fact, I 
froze a number of pints of the RED RICH at the beginning of 
the season — and they are just as perfect now as when they 
were picked. 
SEATTLE, WASH., 9/12/51: My RED RICH strawberries are doing 
fine, always full of blossoms and berries in all stages of 
development. Most of my berries are average in size, with 
some extra large. To make room for them I turned over a plot 
of lawn, which turned out to be a gravel bed. B ut they pro- 
duce berries galore. They are firm, watering does not seem 
to injure them. Color and appearance are beautiful, shiny 
red with yellow seeds. They make superb strawberry jam. I 
once tried ROCKHILL strawberry, which was a total loss. RED 
RICH in my opinion completely fills the need for an ever 
bearing strawberry. 
DOWNEY, CALIF., 9/21/51: We like our RED RICH strawberries very 
much. It bears well, is rich in color and flavor and plants 
are prolific and healthy. 
YORKVILLE, CALIF., 9/22/51: The RED RICH strawberries are the 
best ever, and they are doing better than I ever expected. 
MEDFORD, OREGON, 9/14/51: My RED RICH strawberries are wonder- 
ful. They have grown into fine plants. We kept the blossoms 
picked off until July, since then we have been getting big 
red (all the way through) very sweet and firm berries of ex- 
cellent flavor (a bit like wild strawberries) - it 1s unbe- 
lievable the way they keep. We have them in a raised bed 
using ground corn cob as a mulch. Our other berries cannot 
be compared with them. 
BERRY CREEK, CALIF., 10/1/51: Your RED RICH plants were the 
best I ever received. I have 20TH CENTURY, CENTENNIAL and 
STREAMLINER, the RED RICH are the best. Our elevation is 
3500 feet and they do well here.
