PLANT PAT. No.993 @ i's an EVERBEARER 
that’s really everbearing. 
Planted in early spring, 
imagine biting into one: 
Ummmm so honey sweet 
that more sugar would 
seem a waste and that 
firm flesh texture is red 
clear through the core. 
That’s RED RICH, folks, 
the biggest, reddest, 
RED RICH will bear in June all through the summer and into the fall. 
Because of its heavy yield fewer plants are needed — for the average 
family twenty-five plants per person are recommended. The crown and 
root system are exceptionally large as well as the leaves—a rugged plant, 
a heavy producer. 
PERFECT FOR FREEZING — Red Rich is big, solid and firm clear 
through. It ripens evenly and possesses an abundance of natural sugar. 
Best of all, it won’t mush-up when thawed.
