. Temple 
TEMPLE is gaining in popularity because it is the ideal box 
berry. [Every berry is cone shaped and it packs and shows well on 
the stand. It ripens a few days after Sparkle but the picking season 
is not quite as long. The fruit is a good seller and we liked it as a 
frozen berry, too. We rate TEMPLE as one of the best row 
makers, and you cannot have berries without a good stand of plants. 
1 Empire (New ) 
This new variety. is becoming popular because of its vigorous 
plant growth and very beautiful fruit. The berries are large, glossy 
red and hold their size well. EMPIRE was developed from a cross 
between Dresden and Sparkle at the New York Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station. 
\ Robinson’s Scarlet Beauty 
ROBINSON has been a filler for us here at Pearson’s Nursery. 
[t ripens after Sparkle and before the very late varieties. ROBIN- 
SON often makes too many runner plants even in dry seasons. We 
suggest that you check runner growth late in August. The plants 
are small and you will be very surprised with the extra large berries 
that they produce. 
The berry is extremely attractive with its bright red color and 
small white tip. We recommend ROBINSON to help extend your 
picking season. 
. Catskill 
The CATSKILL is a late berry on our farm. As is true of 
many late varieties, the picking season is shorter than that of early 
varieties. However, CATSKILL is a fancy berry with lots of 
flavor, slightly acid, which makes it popular with many people. 
We suggest you set CATSKILL in soil that holds its moisture 
as it does not do well on sandy soil in a dry season,
