LARGE EXTRA-LATE. /i> %mone LARGE BERRIES—LATE—FINE FLAVOR For many years ARMORE has been a favorite variety with home gardeners and local market j growers. This variety is well suited throughout the area from Missouri to New England. Although I rated as a late variety it ripens several days ahead of such extra-late varieties as Redstar and Vesper. Armore is a good plant maker and grows well in most soils.
