\ REDWING (N. J. No. 347—Mid-Season) 
The Redwing gave us our most pleasant surprise of last 
year’s picking season. With eight or ten varieties to pick from, 
the customer would almost invariably pick Redwing. It seems 
to have everything—very large, attractive, firm, very good 
quality and red all the way through. 
It is also Red Stele resistant. It needs a medium to heavy 
soil. 
\ RED CROP (Early) 
This variety originated by the New Jersey Agricultural 
Experiment Station. It ripens two to four days after Pathfinder 
and about a week before Sparkle, has a long season of picking, 
is a stocky plant grower, and so far has demonstrated a resist- 
ance to red stele disease. It is a heavy yielder of large high 
quality, firm, attractive deep red berries and is a good freezer. 
The above reports of this promising new berry are from the 
N. J. Station.

DORSET, (Early) 
A relatively new variety developed by U. S. Dept. of 
Agriculture. A cross of Howard 17 (Premier) and Royal 
Sovereign and has become very popular in most sections 
where strawberries are grown. It is bright red, very firm and 
attractive; flavor ranks near the top. It has become a favorite 
with many growers. 
\ KARDINAL KING (Mid-Season) 
Berries are of excellent quality, firm and very attractive. 
A wonderful plant maker and heavy bearer. Does well on light 
to medium soil. We believe Kardinal King is the same as 
Robinson. 
\ SIOUX (Early Extra) 
The Sioux strawberry variety originated at the Cheyenne, 
Wyoming, Horticultural Field Station of the U.S.D.A. It is a 
cross of Fairfax with a selection of the native Rocky Mt. straw- 
berry. That resulting hybrid was back-crossed to Fairfax. It 
is reported to be winter hardy without protection, drought 
resistant, disease resistant and frost resistant at blossoming 
time. We have a limited supply and suggest it for trial only. 
\ MACKENZIE (Early to Mid-Season) 
Originated at the Central Experiment Station, Ottawa, 
Canada. The fruit is large, good quality, and attractive. The 
plants are very vigorous and healthy, and produce runners 
freely. While it ts considered an early variety, with us it 
came nearer mid-season. The crop was big and berries were 
so attractive they brought a good price here last year.
