BAKERSFIELD, CALIF., 11/7/52: We think RED RICH are going to be 
superior to the ordinary everbearing plants. First, their 
flavor is constantly good even in hot weather when the other 
berries are flat and mushy. Second, the RED RICH hangs its 
berries firmly, keeps better than any others we have tried, 
and is easy to keep in order. We are well satisfied with 
them. 
EL MONTE, CALIF., 11/14/52: RED RICH have done wonderful, much 
better than I expected. We are still picking berries and 
there are a good many blooms. RED RICH are the finest 
flavored berries we have ever found. 
RIVERBANK, CALIF., 11/15/52: The RED RICH had only been in the 
ground a few weeks when I had to be away for six weeks.... 
By the time I got home they were a sorry looking bunch of 
strawberries, but they were alive anyway. I immediately re- 
moved all berries and blossoms, loosened the soil around 
them, worked in some blood meal, and worked in compost and 
oakleaf loam around the plants covering that with excelsior. 
Well, those plants came to life in a hurry, and some were so 
far gone only a tiny bit of green was showing. I kept the 
blossoms picked off until the plants had grown big and husky 
which they did in a very short time. I arrived home May 4th 
and by the middle of June the plants were loaded with ber- 
ries and we’ve been eating them ever since. Here it is the 
middle of November and we are still] eating them and they are 
loaded with blossoms. 
We only had 12 plants to begin with or rather there were 13 
& every one lived. I had never seen such healthy plants on 
arrival as they were. The flavor and color are wonderful. 
They make the best jam I’ve ever made compared with straw- 
berries raised by me or bought on the market. I, had BANNER 
once and they were nothing but a headache to me.... I guess 
by this letter that you know I’m more than satisfied with my 
RED RICH strawberry plants. 
MEDFORD, OREGON, 11/8/52: RED RICH most satisfactory, flavor 
and sweetness wonderful, color really rich red, size much 
larger than average, with many unusual flat berries. Yield 
has been heavy, still bearing so have not tried the frozen 
berries....We are thoroughly happy with them. 
EUREKA, CALIF., 11/5/52: RED RICH still loaded with blossoms, 
green and red berries. Wonderful flavor, very sweet with 
good red color, medium and large berries. Very good keeping 
quality. The yield better than other varieties I have. 
SUNNYVALE, CALIF., 11/8/52: RED RICH made an excellent showing 
this year. They commenced to bear in May and have borne con- 
tinuously since that time. There are ripe and green berries 
on the plants at the present time. The berries are a deep 
red color clear through & of a very fine flavor with a real 
strawberry aroma. In color, size, flavor, yield they are su- 
erior to any other everbearing variety of which I have any 
beouloa ce!
