VERMILION STRAWBERKY 
VERMILION is a new strawberry variety from the University of 
Illinois. It is an early variety producing fruit about the same 
as Premier. The harvesting season extends about two weeks in 
length. The berries are well formed throughout the season. The 
fruit is medium to large, round-conic shape, smooth and very 
glossy, evenly dark red colored and very attractive in appear- 
ance. The fruit is medium in sugar content and is more aromatic 
and higher quality than most other varieties. The plant itself 
is a very vigorous grower and proven in numerous tests at the 
University of Illinois to be red stele resistant, as well as 
resistant to leaf spot, blight, etc. The flowers are perfect. 
It has proven to be a very profitable variety and will be used 
extensively in commercial production. 
ARMORE STRAWBERRY 
- ARMORE, a new June bearing variety released by the Missouri 
Experiment Station, has proven superior to standard varieties 
with which it has been compared in seven years of trials. It 
continues fruiting over a long period and leaves a good row 
for the following year’s crop. It rates the equal of Premier in 
quality. Not only does it have superior handling and shipping 
qualities but it has shown up as more productive on old land 
than. any of 60 varieties.
