“ Tennessee Supreme 
The Tennessee Supreme is a firm berry but does 
not have the shipping qualities that the Tennessee Ship- 
per has. It is uniform in size, light red in color and is 
solid. It retains its size throughout the season and is a 
very heavy yielder. Ripens one week later than Blake- 
more. 
\ Tennessean 965 
This is a new variety originated at the West Ten- 
nessee Experiment Station and is a cross made by J. 
P. Overcash with two Tennessee developed varieties. It 
blossoms late and ripens early. Its long-shaped, glossy, 
attractive fruit appeals to the casual observer. Time of 
blossoming is somewhat later than that for Blakemore 
which often results in less cold injury. The late blooming 
combined with early ripening of this berry will appeal to 
many strawberry growers. 
A yield plot of this strawberry in 1947 produced 
382 crates per acre compared with 344 crates for the 
Tennessee Shipper and 325 for the Blakmore on nearby 
plots. 
Shipping tests made in 1947 indicated that the 
Tennessean 965 is acceptable for handling and marketing. 
This strawberry runs somewhat larger than the Blake- 
more. It packs 84 per box; the Blakemore 99; and 
Tennessee Shipper 111. 
Tennessean appears about the equal of the Blake- 
more as a plant maker. A very large number of runner 
plants develop and the rows are filled out. 
\ Premier 
Premier is an old favorite with many growers. It 
does well over a large territory, chiefly in the middle and 
northern states. The berries are a medium red in color, 
good size and very productive. 
\ Tennessee Beauty 
The Tennessee Beauty is a Scientific cross between 
the Premier and Missionary berry. Its vigorous growth, 
firmness and radiant color makes it one of the most 
productive berries grown. Tests have shown that it may 
replace the Aroma or Catskill as a late berry with some 
growers. It rates very high as a berry for freezing and 
is well worth trying in the southern and lower middle 
states. Since this berry is a patented variety we sell to 
you with the understanding that you are not to sell them 
to others. 
\ Senator Dunlap 
An old favorite garden and canning variety in many 
sections of Northern and Central States. DUNLAP’s 
greatest advantage is good growth and production under 
almost any condition. Very free bedding and productive 
of medium, dark red fruit for table purposes.
