_ SPARKLE 
A new variety, gaining in popularity. It is recommended 
for states from New Jersey north. Many growers think the 
quality better than Premier or Catskill. It is certainly a more 
shiny and attractive berry. It resembles the Pathfinder in shape 
but makes a prettier box. In tests for freezing it ranks near the 
top. We recommend it very highly. 
ELGIN (Very Late) 
This is the latest of any variety we have tested. It is free 
of disease and a great plant maker under normal conditions. Its 
roots are short so should be on medium heavy ground. The ber- 
ries are the largest we have, even larger than the Robinson. The 
berry is rather dull in appearance. In this locality, it has been 
unsatisfactory as a commercial berry. 
“FAIRLAND (Mid-Season) 
Fairland (U.S.D.A. 3205) is a cross of Aberdeen and Fair- 
fax. Resistant to red stele diseases. Plants are very productive, 
ranking with Premier and Catskill in yield. Adapted to any 
region where Premier or Catskill is an important variety. 
Berries ripen two to six days after Premier, are bright red 
and somewhat firmer than Premier. Medium to large in size. 
Recommended for freezing and long distance shipping. 
FAIRFAX (Early) 
Cross between Premier and Royal Sovereign. A high qual- 
ity berry, very large and the sweetest of any we have grown. 
If you wish to treat your friends to something very special, 
Fairfax is it. The Fairfax berries have a tendency to turn dark 
in holding, but the quality is so fine it more than offsets that. 
They rank near the top for freezing and firmness, along with 
Sparkle. The foliage is beautiful and so are the blossoms, near- 
ly as big as small roses and are very suitable for decorating 
garden borders. 
Try Fairfax for quality, firmness and for quick freezing. 
TEMPLE (Mid-Season) 
Temple is a masterpiece of scientific breeding. If in your 
section you have been troubled with red stele or root rot dis- 
ease, this is the berry for you to plant. It will grow and pro- 
duce in abundance on soils infested with red stele. It is a fine 
variety apart from its being resistant to red stele. Berries are 
medium to large, light red and have a brilliant calyx, which 
presents a fine appearance. Produce buyers agree that Tem- 
ple is definitely a good commerical berry. 
\ VALENTINE (Extra Early) . 
Decidedly the earliest, good commercial strawberry. Most 
of the Valentine berries are off the plants when the good pick-
