Three new Berries from the Maine Agricultural 
Experiment Station, Orono, Maine 
VY ORLAND (Mid-Season to Late) 
Parentage—Aberdeen and Howard 17 
Six days later than Howard 17. Yield, excellent. Berries 
have bright, attractive exterior. Flavor, firmness and quality 
for freezing about like Howard. Plants very vigorous and re- 
sistant to red stele. Considered the most promising of the 
three varieties released, when considered in an over-all rating. 
“ MONMOUTH (Mid-season) 
Parentage—Aberdeen and Howard 17 
Season about four days later than Howard. Berries bright, 
attractive red, darker exterior and interior color than Orland. 
Average size larger than Howard. Flavor and freezing quality 
very good. Occasionally mildly infected with leaf spot; good 
resistance to red stele. Yield, excellent. The above report is 
from the Experiment Station at Orono, Me., but our experience 
indicates a large set of berries and they run small even with 
irrigation. 
‘ MAINE (55) (Mid-season) 
Parentage—Aberdeen and Howard 17 
Season 3 or 4 days later than Howard. Berries bright, at- 
tractive red with excellent interior color. Good flavor, highly 
aromatic, and excellent for freezing. We consider the Maine 
oo the best of the three new Maine varieties. 
‘STRAFFORD (Very Late) 
From University of N. H. Experiment Station 
The greatest of the late ones. Enormous plants and berries 
which hold up well into the season. Color and flavor tops, firm, 
and a good shipper. Fairfax and Tupper are grandparents of 
this fine variety. Supply limited. 
’. N.H. — F-13 (Very Late) 
Not Yet Named——-From University of N. H. Experiment Station 
A Fairpeake and N. H. 179 cross. Very sweet, makes an 
attractive box, good cropper. Pick these three N. H. late and 
very late varieties to fit your type of land, and ripen after 
Catskill. 
Here are three California varieties of strawberry plants 
for us to try in the East 
Blaze (late), Strafford (very late), and N. H.— F-13 (very 
late), may be just what we have been waiting for to extend our 
picking season.
