/ SURECROP for Sure Crops Surecrop is widely adapted from the upper south through the middle states and into the far north. It is one of our relatively new varieties and its popularity has been growing by leaps and bounds. Among the reasons for the rapid rise of Surecrop to one of our sales' leaders are the following: The plants are ex- tremely vigorous, producing runners very freely and have bluff, healthy foliage which functions well through the berry season. The plants are quite productive, ranking very high in total yield in almost all tests that have been made. As Mr. C. S. Cunningham of Culpeper County, Virginia, wrote us on April 18, 1966, "J have ten different varieties. The Surecrop are the strongest of them all." Surecrop berries are large, fairly round and shiny red. (See Front Cover.) They are very good in quality, firm enough to ship and the size of the berries holds up well. Surecrop is suitable for freezing and some of our customers think that it is one of the best for freezing. Surecrop is one of the best varieties that has resistance to red stele and is the best variety that has triple resistance to this disease. In any berry field Sure- crop will be outstanding because of the vigor of plant growth and the healthy, hardy foliage. Surecrop is well worth growing for its own merits and enables those who have red stele in their soils to stay in the business of raising fancy quality berries. We consider Surecrop to be one of the great midseason berries. We have an excellent supply of beautiful Surecrop plants. Price list page 28. Breckinridge Co., Ky., Jan. 6, 1966. "Three years ago I ordered 300 plants from you and you sent Surecrop. I don't see how there could be better berries of any kind. The first year I gathered about 150 gallons and let 10 or 15 gallons rot by not picking them often enough and close enough. They were large and one person could pick a gallon in 15 minutes." W. S. Hendry 10
