. Allen's 1963 book of berries. Nurseries (Horticulture) Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Nursery stock Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Strawberries Maryland Salisbury Catalogs. MIDLAND Midland berries are very early, ripening at the same time as Premier and Blakemore and slightly after Earlidawn. They have a bright red color which extends clear through the berry. The berries are quite firm and average large in size. When the berries are first picked they are bright red but they will darken somewhat on holding. For fruit-stands, local trade, home gardens and "Pick Your Own" projects this is not serious but it definitely is a handicap for the wholesale markets. The berries are excellent in quality and all freezing tests have rated it as one of the best. Midland plants are large, healthy and very productive. However, selection of good soil plus good care are necessary to get plenty of plants for a good fruiting row. Irrigation, if available, helps to get a good fruiting row and also properly used during spring frosts will provide frost protection. Midland has most of the attributes of a great variety—beauty, size, color, quality, productiveness, firmness and freezing ex- cellence. Midland has two serious weaknesses: It does not always make plants freely and it is somewhat susceptible to frosts. For growers who have irrigation Midland is a most logical choice for an early variety. Midland, as the name would suggest, is adapted best to the middle states. You can go north if irrigation is available to combat frosts, and you can go a little south if irrigation is available to help get a good fruiting row. Midland may replace Dixieland in some areas where Dixieland is in trouble. We have a good t^. supply of beautiful Midland t *^t* plants.
