FAIRLAND Fairland is the third of the three fine midseason berries notable for their resist- ance to red stele. Fairland is slightly earlier than Temple and several days ahead of Sparkle in ripening season. Whereas both Sparkle and Temple are rather dark Fair- land is light in color. As a shipping berry Fairland is as good as Sparkle but not as good as Temple. It is a heavy producer of berries that are large, fairly good in qual- ity and beautiful in appearance. Their light color makes them appealing to the eye of the buyer. Fairland is not at its best as far south as Maryland. It has given fine re- sults in Ohio, West Virginia, Massachu- setts, New York, and other northern states. As with Robinson, Fairland where it is well adapted will be a profitable berry, chiefly because of productiveness, large size and light attractive color. Price list page 32. POCAHONTAS Pocahontas has achieved wide publicity during the last year or two because of its ability to produce a satisfactory crop of berries the following spring from plants set in November and December. Methods of handling Pocahontas to get these results have been worked out by Dr. M. M. Parker of the Virginia Truck Experiment Station at Norfolk, Virginia. It has been possible with Pocahontas, we believe, because Poca- hontas is the most vigorous variety that we have ever grown, not even excepting virus free Blakemore plants. Outside the Norfolk and Eastern Shore of Virginia areas Pocahontas has been tested in only a few places. Reports of very high yields have come from Pennsylvania, Missouri and Washington, D. C, as well as Virginia. The parentage of Pocahontas is Midland x Tennessee Shipper. As Tennes- see Shipper is the firmest of all known va- rieties Pocahontas should be and is firm enough for shipment, ranking about with Blakemore as a ship
