LATE VARIETIES 
AMBROSIA LATE 
This variety, has been considered one of the best late varieties by many 
growers. The berries are large, pointed, bright red and very delicious. The 
plants are large and respond well to good care. If you have never tried this 
variety, would recommend it. 
ROBINSON 
The Robinson, known as Kardinal King, also Scarlet Beauty originated 
in Michigan. This variety has become popular with northern and mid-western 
growers, from Michigan to Maryland. 
The plants grow small but will make a wide bed of plants that grow on 
most types of soil. The berries grow quite large, blunt pointed, borne on large 
thick fruit stems, well protected with heavy foliage. The berries are scarlet, 
solid red through the center. 
In the northern and western sections, the fruit holds up well for shipping, 
while in other sections the fruit is not firm enough to ship long distances. 
Robinson has a long fruiting season which is in its favor. The size and 
the attractive berry sells well at local markets. Its name of Scarlet Beauty des- 
cribes it best. Many growers have produced record breaking crops and have 
given it first place in the strawberry list.
