TENNESSEE BEAUTY A new variety from Tennessee having the same parentage as Blakemore (Premier x Missionary). Tennessee Beauty makes a very vigorous plant growth, almost as vigorous as Blakemore. The plants are very productive. The berries are medium in size, a bright shiny red color, very attractive in appearance and solid enough for a shipping berry. The first and largest berries are generally wedged shape with the larger part of the crop round conic, resembling Blakemore in size, shape and general appearance. Quality is good, but somewhat tart. Like Blakemore, Tennessee Beauty berries retain their light color on holding. We are so much sold on Tennessee Beauty that we have planted several acres for fruiting in addition to our plant stock. We recommend it for all the Blake- more territory (see pige 13) as a fine productive late shipping berry to replace Aroma and to con- tinue the season of Biakemore-type berries or to use as a main crop berry to replace Catskill in the lower middle states wherever Catskill is unsatisfactory. Although it begins to ripen a few days earlier than Aroma, Ttmnessee Beauty bears through the entire late ripening season and in western Kentucky has a five yoar record of bearing three times the total yield of Aroma. Tennessee Beauty is a patented variety that we can sell you with the understanding that you can propogate all you want for yourself but not for sale to others. Price list, page 31.

Robinson berries are very large in size, possibly as large as either Catskill or Midland. The berries are very attractive. They have a light red color which does not darken on holdi
