ly so that it picks well for market. 
The yield is as outstanding as its qual- 
ity. The Everbearing crop in 1949 yield- 
ed 4,000 quarts from one acre. This was 
in a year that had less than normal rain- 
fall and when more effort was made to 
grow plants than grow fruit. 
In general the June crop comes later 
than most varieties. The yield was as 
much as the 1949 fall crop. Berries of 
both the fall crop and June crops have 
maintained good size until the end of the 
season. 
The variety is hardy. It has been 
grown for 12 years without any appre- 
ciable winter kill. It has not failed to 
produce a crop in that time. The plants 
are vigorous and fruiting stems are 
strongly up-right so that fruit is kept off 
the ground. 
Finally an outstanding feature about 
Hagerstrom’s Red-Rich is that it will pro- 
duce runner plants. An average of 15 
runner plants per parent plant have been 
produced per parent plant under normal 
growing conditions. 
Fruit growers may produce plants for 
their own use. Plants may be sold only by 
growers and dealers who are licensed.
