ROBINSON Fer ve 
\ ROBINSON or SCARLET BEAUTY is now far beyond the 
experimental stage. In a relatively short time it has attained 
a popularity second only to Premier. It has done very well for 
us, and we can recommend it heartily for use wherever Pre- 
mier does well. 3 ant sont: 
The foliage of Robinson is light green with the same cupped leaves 
as Premier, which is closely resembles in several stages of its growth. 
The plants, however, are deceivingly small to produce such a large berry, 
and they run so freely that they may grow too thick in the row unless 
carefully watched. 
This berry is the largest we know. It is smooth-skinned, glossy, 
bright red, with the prominent yellow seeds and nice green cap which 
make for an attractive appearance. We have found the berries plenty 
firm enough for handling, and of good quality. 
Different climatic conditions have a great effect on 
strawberries, but in the middle west Robinson is performing 
‘exceptionally well. The quality is good enough, and the size of 
the fruit is very large. Probably the largest we know of. Pro- 
duction is high, and the fruit sells well. Very good for your own 
use, and second only to Premier as a commercial kind. Ripens 
a week or ten days later than Premier. |
