FOUR DELICIOUS VARIETIES 
Ambrosia Or Scarlet Beauty 
Robinson has made a lot of friends among 
those interested in high production of atirac- 
tive berries. The plants resemble Premier, 
and are practically free from all foliage di- 
seases. Very productive plants, and the ber- 
ries nearly always average large in size. 
The berries are light in color and make an 
attractive market appearance. Robinson or 
Scarlet Beauty originated in Michigan and 
does best in the upper Midwest and from 
Maryland northward. An excellent producer 
over a long fruiting season that begins soon 
after Premier. 
e 
Empire 
This new variety was introduced by the 
New York Experimental Station. It has many 
very good qualities as an early variety. A 
more vigorous plant growth than Premier, 
with fruits just as firm as Premier, but aver- 
age larger in size. Considered a better ship- 
per than Premier and keeps better market ap- 
pearance after picked. Empire does not set 
as heavy as Premier, but the berries are more 
attractive. If Premier does well for you try 
Empire in your next planting.

Armore 
A new variety introduced by the Missouri 
Experiment Station, and in a growing test of 
60 different varieties proved the most produc- 
tive. The berries are good size, beautiful 
red color, and rate high in flavor. The most 
distinctive trait of Armore is the exceptionally 
uniform shape of the fruit. Its firmness rate 
it a superior shipping variety. Fruits over a 
long period, and makes a good bed. This 
new, midseason variety is recommended in 
the widespread area where Premier can be 
successfully grown. 
Dorsett 
An old favorite with many growers. This 
variety has long been grown in all sections 
where Premier is popular. When it grows at 
its best it is equal to Premier in plant growth, 
yield, and size and firmness of berries. How- 
ever, it is more susceptible to frost injury on 
cold, frost sites, and under most conditions 
the plant growth is not as vigorous as Prem- 
ier. The berries are more attractive than 
Premier, and far better quality. Those who 
know Dorsett like the variety.
