The Armore was introduced by the Missouri ex- 
periment station. It is a firm, good shipping, and 
good eating berry. It is very’ uniform in shape and 
has a bright red color. Armore has proven more pro- 
ductive than sixty others in actual growing tests. 
“POCAHONTAS (Virus-Free) 
Pocahontas is a cross between Tennessee Shipper and Midland. It makes 
a nice bed of plants and will also produce a heavy crop of large size berries. 
The Pocahontas is bright red in color and has tough skin which makes it a 
fine berry for shipping. Ripens a little later than Blakemore. 
~ EDEN 
The Eden is an introduction of the Geneva experimental station of New 
York. It is a cross between Fairfax and Dresden. This variety has proven very 
satisfactory for preserving and canning by commercial processors. After pro- 
cessing, the color is still very good. The berries are very attractive, firm, 
and red to the center. It is a very good plant maker.

mental Station in New York. It is a cross of the 
Dresden and Sparkle, and was released in 1980. It 
makes a nice picking bed of husky plants. The berry 
fs a little more firm than Premier and a much better 
shipper. It ripens a few days later than Premier. 
If you cannot get a bed with Premier, try a few 
Empire.
