Nurseries (Horticulture) Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Nursery stock Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Strawberries Maryland Salisbury Catalogs. 10 M AY TIME THE EARLIEST OF ALL This is a brand new variety, released for introduction by the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture only last year. The Department Circular states: "The Maytime is being introduced as the earliest variety of high quality in Maryland, It is recommended for trial from Virginia to Southern New Jersey and westward to Oklahoma and ; "Compared with Blakemore, under normal con- ditions it has been some four days earlier, much sweeter in flavor, deeper red in color and about as firm. It has produced well in matted ; "It has been earlier, firmer and more highly flavored than Premier in Eastern ; "It has not been so large as Dorsett, but has set more of its flowers and has been earlier and firmer than that variety and sometimes as good in dessert ; "Maytime blooms so early that its first flowers are sometimes injured by frost. When this occurs ripening is somewhat later than normal and the yield ;. Berry Bed in Bloom With us, Maytime makes a vigorous, healthy growth with plenty of plants for a good fruiting bed, often needing some thinning. The blossoms have plenty of pollen for perfect fruit and the plants are fairly productive. The berries are usually larger than Blakemore and even more attrac- tive in appearance. (See picture on page 2.) Maytime is a promising variety that many growers will want to try because it is so very early.
