TEMPLE 
Temple is a variety worthy of consideration wherever red stele has 
threatened. It is a nice variety to grow, and the tall husky plants make a 
beautiful patch. The fruit will run iarge, rather dark, and of good 
quality. 
We have had many conflicting reports on the yielding ability of 
Temple. In eastern states the total yield has been exceptionally good, 
and the general performance very satisfactory. Some growers in south- 
ern Indiana have been warm in their praise. 
For us, however, Temple has not done well. While foliage growth 
has been especially good, the berries have been small and the total 
‘yield not satisfactory. 
ARMORE 
The many favorable reports we have had on this new variety which 
was developed at the Missouri Experiment Station indicate that in Ar- 
more we have something close to the plant breeder’s dream—a berry 
that has the good qualities of both parents. 
From Aroma we have medium large berries, attractive appearance, 
better quality. From Blakemore we have those characteristics which 
have made it so important to the southern fruit grower. Armore has 
shown a high yield over a long ripening period, with a light bright color 
and firm flesh that adapts it to long distance shipping. 
Armore promises to be one of the coming varicties for commercial 
use wherever Blakemore is now favored. 
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.
