With virus free plants of this variety you are sure of plenty of plants for a good fruiting row. Erie makes strong, vigorous plants with deep green foliage. Fruit color is medium red, bright and attractive. Erie is fair in quahty with a moderately tough skin. Erie ripens fairly late, along with Sparkle. Our supply of Erie plants this year is limited. Price list page 28. c/, VERMILION Vermilion berries are large in size, irregular in shape and the fruiting habit is close to the ground causing a tendency to green sides. The skin is bright red with yellow seeds and pale flesh. It ripens midseason in most areas. Vermilion was originated in Illinois. It is quite productive and the plants are resistant to leaf spot, leaf scorch and the common strain of red stele. Growth is strong and upstand- ing with an adequate number of big strong plants. Vermilion has shown great productive- ness in the central states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and is certainly worthy of trial in that area. Price list page 28.

It is grown principally in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. Dunlap berries are medium size and not too firm. They are very good as fresh fruit and rated as average for processing. The berries are a bright, rich red clear through. Dunlap plants are vigorous growers but quite susceptible to leaf spot. We use copper in our dusting schedule to combat this problem. We have a nice supply of beautiful Dunlap plants this season. Price list page 28. 12
