REDSTAR The Best Very Late and the Latest Very Good Strawberry With Redstar you can have fancy berries to use or sell ten days after other berries are gone. This fact is the most valuable single attribute of Redstar—to extend the season for fancy fruit. Almost equally important is the fact that you are sure to get a crop. Redstar blooms so late that it is never killed by late frost. The first berries are very large and wedge shaped. Later berries are mostly round-conic. Redstar berries are very fine in quality. They have an attractive bright red color which darkens very little on holding. Where a good bed is made Redstar is extremely productive and the berries average large in size, firm enough for shipping and attractive enough to sell well. Because it is so late Red- star should be grown where ample moisture is available at fruiting time, either from naturally moist soil or irrigation. Until 1956 no virus free Redstar were available. Stocks had become so weakened that it was almost impossible to get a good fruiting row. Virus free plants are now available and it is easy to get a wonderful fruiting row with big, healthy, beautiful foilage. (See picture.) Redstar has had another weakness—fasciation. In this several fruiting stems apparently merge forming a broad flat stem and the berries broaden and twist, making them very undesirable. Our new virus free stocks show far less of this than the old strains. If you are a commercial grower you can stretch your season and handle a far greater volume of berries with a given amount of help. If you are a home gardener you can stretch the season and feed your family wonderful desserts many days after other berries have called it a season.
