NDED VARIETIES 
“VERMILION (Virus-Free) 
Vermilion is a new strawberry introduced by the University of Illinois. 
Its parenthood is a cross between the Red Star and Pathfinder. NO RED - 
STELE ROOT ROT HAS BEEN FOUND IN THE ROOTS OF THE PLANTS 
GROWN IN INFESTED RED STELE AREAS. The foliage seems resistant 
to leaf spot, leaf blight, and leaf scorch. The leaves are very dark green. The 
berries are medium to large in size, very attractive and evenly colored. 
SORLAND 
Orland was introduced by the Maine agricultural experimental station. 
Its parenthood is across between Adberdeen and Premier. Orland is a mid- 
season to late berry ripening about a week later than Premier and has a 
bright red color throughout. The berries are very firm and high in flavor. 
With these two characteristics together Orland makes a very good berry for 
freezing. It produces a very vigorous plant bed and is RESISTANT TO RED- 
STELE. 
MONMOUTH 
Monmouth is another new berry introduced by the Maine agricultural 
experimental station also having parenthood from the Aberdeen and Premier. 
It is a midseason berry ripening just a few days later than Premier. Its color 
is a little darker than the Orland throughout. Monmouth is somewhat larger 
than Premier producing a very heavy crop. It is also considered a good freez- 
ing berry and is a RED-STELE RESISTANT VARIETY.
