ROBINSON 
(Scarlet Beauty) 
There has been a good deal of difference of opinion on the merits 
of this great berry. For those who have tried it in the north, it has been 
tremendous, while many southern growers have been disappointed in 
its performance in holding up. 
We are satisfied now that this great berry will do well throughout 
the Premier territory. It is of the same general type, light green, healthy 
foliage, cupped leaves. Robinson plants, however, are deceivingly small 
to produce such a large berry, and they run so freely that they may 
well get too thick in the row. Robinson starts to ripen about a week 
later than Premier. 
The berry is the largest we know. It is smooth-skinned, 
glossy, bright red, with the prominent yellow seeds and bright 
green cap that makes such an attractive appearance. The first 
berries to ripen are liable to be green on the under side, but 
later in the season they ripen quite uniformly. 
The high yield that Robinson will give and the eye-taking appear- 
ance of the very large fruit recommend it as a commercial variety, and 
with us it has been firm enough for handling and holding on the vines. 
We like the mild sweet flavor of Robinson so well that we use it 
as our own dessert berry, and for freezing exclusively.
