PLAMAR (65 Days) 
A new development from the University 
of Puerto Rico. A cross of their native 
variety, “Platillo,” and Marglobe. Possesses 
a notable characteristic of setting fruit 
under extremely hot climatic conditions. 
Vines are very vigorous, extensive, healthy 
and extremely rapid in growth. Slightly 
flattened fruits average medium in size, 
with thick placental walls. Ripens to a 
medium red color, possessing good keeping 
qualities after ripe. Cracks are very limit- 
ed. We recommend Plamar for southern 
states, where other varieties do not set 
fruit under abnormally hot and dry climate. 
Very resistant to early blight and fusarium 
wilt.

SUMMER PROLIFIC (65 Days) 
New hot weather variety from the Texas 
Agricultural Experiment Station. A cross 
of Porters Globe and Stokesdale. Ripens to 
a beautiful deep pink, very smooth, prac- 
tically crack proof and mild in flavor. Uni- 
periods of time. Summer Prolific is able 
to set fruit in very hot summers, mainly be- 
cause of the thick, heavy sepals protecting 
the flower parts. Vine growth very vig- 
orous, upright and dense, with thick wide 
leaves, protecting fruits from the hot sun. 
Summer Prolific is an excellent variety for 
abnormally hot climates, resisting sun-scald 
and splitting, resulting in souring.

form size, averaging about six per pound 
in the first settings and the size increasing

globe-shaped fruits are extremely solid, be- 
cause of their thick outer walls and very 
tough skin. Ripe fruits keep fine for long
