Although they are not entirely immune they will usually thrive and produce profitably in red stele infested soils where non-resistant varieties would either die or be weakened into worthlessness. Temple, Sparkle and Fairland are distinctly different varieties but they have many points in common other than red stele resistance. Seasoning of Ripening: All three ripen midseason to late, with Temple and Fairland starting a few days ahead of Sparkle and all ripening over a long season. Plant Growth: All three make a vigorous plant growth with plenty of runners for an adequate fruiting bed. Productiveness: Temple, Sparkle and Fairland are all very heavy yielders, ranking with the very best in this resp)ect if grown under favorable conditions. Adaptation: All three varieties are best adapted to the middle and northern states, with ^ Temple's best area as far south as Maryland and Vir- ginia. Fairland and Sparkle should not be grown generally south of Pennsylvania, central New Jersey and southern Ohio. Temple has made outstanding yields in Maryland, New Jersey, New England and in some of the mid-western states. Sparkle has been a heavy producer in New York, New England, Penn- sylvania and New Jersey where it was originated. Excellent reports of good yields on Fairland come from Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and in two four-year tests in Massachusetts it dutyielded both Premier and Catskill. All three varieties will give you a heavy crop but like all midseason to late kinds they need a moist soil to size and mature the large crops of fruit. Good ior home and market.
