. Allen's 82nd book of berries. Nurseries (Horticulture) Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Nursery stock Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Strawberries Maryland Salisbury Catalogs. Tennessee Beauty berries are as pretty as can be found under good condi- tions. (See color picture inside front cover.) They run medium to large in size when moisture is adequate and the plants have not been allowed to grow too densely. The caps are outstanding in appearance and come off quite easily, which sometimes poses a problem during picking. Both for freezing and proc- essing the berries are regarded as very good. Tennessee Beauty is excellent for shipping and firm enough so that delays in picking, because of weather or lack of help, result in very little loss. The plants are very healthy and quite productive with foliage resistant to leaf spot and other disorders. They produce runners very freely and some thin- ning is necessary to maintain berry size. Although we know and realize that Tennessee Beauty is not as good as it used to be, we feel it is still the best choice in the middle states for a late variety. We have a nice supply of beautiful Ten- nessee Beauty plants. Price list page ROBINSON A Money Maker for Northern Growers Robinson is primarily a variety for the north, as the fruit in the middle states and south is not firm enough for shipping. The berries are usually rather soft and not too good in quality except in the north. Because of its size and its potential as a money maker Robinson has enthusiastic supporters from Missouri to Vir- ginia and north. In Maryland Robinson has been profitable in dry years but in wet years there is considerable loss of fruit because of softness, even with close picking. Robinson foliage is completely healthy with the plant growth and fruiting bed nearly always good even under adverse conditions. The plants individually are small but they do bear big berries.
