. Allen's 82nd book of berries. Nurseries (Horticulture) Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Nursery stock Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Strawberries Maryland Salisbury Catalogs. SUNRISE A New Early Variety Sunrise performed quite well in fruiting tests in our patches during 1966. Most early berries were killed by frost but with the help of timely rains the season was extended although no satisfactory yield records could be obtained. Prices ranged from 20c per quart to 65c per quart with an average of 45c per quart. Sunrise berries are glossy and medium in size, ripening with the earliest. The bright red, uniform color does not darken on holding and the light pink flesh is firm. (See center of catalog.) Most of the berries are of a symmetrical conic shape; later berries frequently have a slight neck. The flavor is considered to be of good dessert quality, somewhat subacid, but they are not considered too good for freezing because of the paleness of the flesh. Virus-free Sunrise plants produce runners freely, are exceptionally vigorous and not only resistant to verticillium wilt but also triple resistant to red stele. Although the plants are susceptible to leaf spot, easily controlled by copper dust, they are resistant to leaf scorch and mildew. Sunrise ( 2601) originated from a cross with Stelemaster. Although it has been grown as far north as Massachusetts and as far south as North Caro- lina, the best results have been reported in the mid-Atlantic states. Early ripening, bright red fruit, attractive appearance even when held, resist- ance to verticillium wilt, and triple resistance to red stele are very strong points for this variety. Sunrise for early and Surecrop for mid-season are the best bet where red stele poses a problem.
