“Wine-Dark” Strawberry is a fine new variety brought to its present state of perfection by Capt. John R. 
Peterson, owner of the well-known “Cape Codder Hotel” where it will be served for the first time to the 
guests during the summer season of 1954. st 
Falmouth, Massachusetts is famous for its Strawberries but Strawberry seasons don’t last long. “Wine- 
Dark” does not ripen until other berries are finished, prolonging the season of fresh fruit as well as bringing 
you a delicious new flavor. 
Instead of us telling you about this new incomparably flavored berry, we are going to let the Director of the 
Division of Markets of the State of Massachusetts express his opinion. Here are his observations and opin- 
ion. 
. It is an attractive, dark color. 
. It ripens solid color with no green tips. 
. It is large and reasonably even in size. 
. It fills the need of a late season berry. 
. It has a high sugar content and can be eaten without sugar or cream. 
. It is an unusually heavy berry without a puffy core: weighs about 20% more than ordinary berries. 
. It is apparently a heavy yielder with incomparable flavor.
