NEW 
New RED CROP P< 
A new June-bearing variety, released by the New Jersey Experi- 
ment Station in 1950, Yields so heavy, your first glimpse at your 4 
patch during the peak of the harvest, tends to make you think of Meg 
a “red-cover” — therefore, the name of “Red Crop”. In New ; pone %, 
Jersey yields of from eight to ten thousand quarts per acre have 4 x bag 
been reported, although most growers are picking somewhere pe oe <2 
around five thousand quarts per acre. j a eit eM, 
Red Crop is considered an early-mid-season variety. Plant growth ji : , ee 
is quite vigorous, making new runner plants quite freely, produc- es Se 
ing a very evenly spaced matted row. The berry is medium to Re ee 
large and very uniform in size; it is bright red throughout with (3s eee 
no hollow center, It makes an excellent frozen product because of ene 
its high inside color. Its pretty bright green calyx make it sell ae 
. 
on sight on the fresh berry market. Quality of fruit is good, com- 
paring favorable with the well-known Premier. Flavor is of the 
finest —- very sweet and delicious, It has grown well in soils that 
have had the common red stele root disease. 
Plant both the Red Crop and the Red Rich and 
have two of the leading “red beauties” — ber- 
ries over a longer season!

EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY 
(Plant Patent No. 993) 
We are again happy to offer an outstanding variety of 
Strawberry which will produce TWO CROPS in one year — 
the first one only 90 days after planting. A new variety 
which has all the superior qualities which we have been 
looking for in a Strawberry, plus being an EVERBEARER. 
This berry is the result of a cross between the Wayzata ever- 
bearing and the Fairfax. It has retained the wonderful flavor of 
yo the Wayzata (honey-sweetness) and the high yielding ability 
i gid " ~~ of the Fairfax. The Wayzata has always been considered an 
ne fi : pc outstanding Everbearer due to its high quality and delicious 
: . $ ‘ 2, sweet flavor, but it was a poor plant maker. Now, in this variety, 
= a \ you not only have the much prized sweetness and wonderful 
Be ; flavor, but also a good plant maker. 
4 > Fruit and appearance of plant are very similar to Fairfax. 
4 aM ATTRACTIVE RED GLOSSY COLOR. Berries are rather 
- pa round, and as its name implies, is a beautiful rich red all the 
a way through; flesh is firm, core is small, and the berry ripens 
evenly under normal conditions. 
4 UNSURPASSED FOR FREEZING and processing. In fact 
ra the best berry we have ever seen for this purpose. 
BIG PROFITS for commercial growers. Records kept by one 
Minnesota grower state that last year his Rich Red Everbearing 
produced 4,000 quarts on one acre, and although he has not 
kept a record, believes it will yield as much as any commercial 
variety, such as Premier. 
GOOD SHIPPER. During the last summer’s hot weather, 
berries which were rather ripe when picked were still salable after 
3 days in room temperature. When kept in refrigerator, the berries 
were still good after 10 days. 
STRONGEST GROWING PLANT we have ever seen and 
very disease-resistant. Very vigorous and thrifty grower, healthy 
foliage and excellent plant maker. Just the berry for a small 
garden and is successful for the commercial grower. 
Plant this variety this spring and be in a position to supply 
your market when they demand a fine Everbearer of this type. 
PRICE: 25 for $5.00; 50 for $8.50; 100 for $15.00; 250 for 
$32.50; 500 for $55.50 Net, no further discount.
