. Allen's 1948 book of berries. Nurseries (Horticulture) Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Nursery stock Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Strawberries Maryland Salisbury Catalogs. IDLAND We don't like too many extravagant words but we can't help saying that Midland is a wonderfully fine new berry entitled to be called THE BEST NEW VARIETY IN YEARS With the exception of Blakemore in the south and Premier and Catskill in the north, no variety in our memory has gained such wide approval in so short a time. WHAT IS MIDLAND LIKE? A vigorous grower making an ample bed of large strong plants rather than great numbers of small ones. A tremendous yielder—rating right along with master crop- pers like Premier and Catskill in total quarts per acre. Berries average large—larger than Premier, as large as Catskill. Berries are very firm—firmer than Premier or Catskill, almost as firm as Blakemore and Fairfax. Tough skin helps. Berries have a nice appearance-—darker than Premier, lighter than Fairfax, glossy skin, very attractive. Berries have high quality—different from Fairfax, not as sweet, but a distinctive flavor some like just as well. Berries good for freezing—in tests at Maryland Station, Mid- land was best of all. Midland adaptation seems about same as Premier (see page 10)—possibly extending a little farther South, not quite so far North. In the southern part of the Premier territory, we think Midland has a better chance of replacing Premier as a good mass production berry than any variety now in sight. Ideal for the grower who wrote last year "I want something more productive than Fairfax, better quality than ; Midland is it! Price list, page 31.
