12 J. H. Shivers Plant Farms, Allen, Maryland 
TEMPLE 
The Temple is a cross between Aberdeen and Fairfax—Made by Dr. Geo. 
M. Darrow with the purpose of obtaining a new strawberry variety with 
resistance to red-stele disease. Temple is very vigorous, making a dense bed 
of unusually tall plants. It is quite productive and nearly as early as the 
Blakemore, yet not so firm or so acid, but nearly as bright colored. The 
dessert quality is good, Thus far shipping tests have shown this berry well 
suited to long-distance shipping. The berries are large, conic, smooth, uni- 
form, and have large, attractive caps. Although the Temple may be adapted 
over a wide area, it is being introduced mainly for those growers having 
low dark land. It is not a high land berry. Would suggest you try it.
