ARMORE 
This new variety, with origin at Missouri Experiment Station, is the 
plant breeder's dream—it has the best qualities of both parents. From 
Aroma it gets larger size of fruit, attractive appearance, better quali- 
ty, sweeter fruit. 
From Blakemore, Armore derives the characteristics that have 
made the parent so important to the southern strawberry grower. It has 
shown a very high yield over a long fruiting period. Light color and 
firm flesh adapts it to long distance shipping. Good enough quality 
for processing. One of the coming varieties for commercial use wher- 
ever Blakemore is now adapted. . 
SENATOR DUNLAP 
This is the great old variety too well known to strawberry lovers to 
need lengthy description, as it has been a popular favorite for a great 
many years. It is a hardy grower and a prolific plant maker, the sort of 
rough and ready variety able to take a lot of abuse and still come up 
with a good crop. 
The berry is medium sized, dark, very rich in flavor, very 
good for your garden. Not a good commercial kind because 
the berries are too dark after standing and they are apt to 
run small in late season. We may be partial to Dunlap because 
it was the main crop berry when we first really got acquainted 
with strawberries more than forty years ago. We still think that 
it is the richest flavored, highest quality berry you can have, 
used any way you like. 
Mid-season in ripening, just a few days later than Premier. Try this 
berry on fertile, moist soil, keep the plants well thinned, and discover 
strawberries at their luscious best. 
BIG JOE 
Big Joe is a good old variety that some growers have been using 
for years. The plants are big and heavy, with light green, drooping 
leaves. The blossoms are large and bright, the fruiting stems long and 
heavy. Not a real heavy bearer, but bringing all the fruit to suitable 
size. 
The berries run large, bright red, very attractive, and of 
very good quality. Firm enough for reasonable handling. 
Big Joe is rather susceptible to frost injury. We do not consider it 
the equal of some other varieties, but some people who have grown it 
for years will take nothing else.
