where strawberries are grown. It is bright red, very firm and 
attractive; flavor ranks near the top. It has become a favorite 
with many growers. Very limited supply. 
SIOUX (Extra Early) 
The Sioux strawberry variety originated at the Cheyenne, 
Wyoming, Horticultural Field Station of the U.S.D.A. It is a 
cross of Fairfax with a selection of the native Rocky Mt. straw- 
berry. That resulting hybrid was back-crossed to Fairfax. It 
is reported to be winter hardy without protection, drought 
resistant, disease resistant and frost resistant at blossoming 
time. We have a limited supply 
N. H. No. 243 (Early) 
A new strawberry from the University of New Hampshire, 
but not yet named. 
The new varieties from N. H. Experiment Station are well 
worth trying out here in New England. Supply limited. 
FAIRPEAKE (Late) 
Cross between Fairfax and Chesapeake. Quality is un- 
equalled except possibly by Fairfax. Plants make a healthy, 
vigorous growth, moderately productive; berries are beauti- 
ful, delicious in quality, large and firm. If your soil is good 
for most varieties, Fairpeake will make you a good commer- 
cial crop. Price per quart should be higher than many varie- 
ties, as its quality compares well with Fairfax. It blooms so 
late it usually escapes the late frosts. Can be grown in most 
Premier territory. Supply limited. 
VERMILION (Early) 
A new strawberry variety released by the University of 
Illinois. Its parentage is a Red Star and Pathfinder cross. No 
red stele root rot has been found on the roots of plants grow- 
ing on sites infested with red stele. The foliage is resistant 
to leaf spot, leaf blight, and leaf scorch. The leaves are very 
glossy dark green. Flowers perfect. As early as Howard—fruit 
smooth, very glossy, and medium to large in size, evenly 
colored and very attractive in appearance. 
Fruit is more aromatic and of higher quality than most 
other varieties. Named after the town of Vermilion, IIl., in 
the vicinity of which the commercial testing has been done. 
A good supply this year.
