Temple berries are very good in quality, better than Premier and Catskill, not as good as Fairfax and Fairpeake.

It is a cross of Missionary x Premier, the same parentage as Blake- more. Introduced by the Tennessee Station in 1942. Tennessee Beauty has very healthy foliage and is almost as vigorous as Blakemore. The plants are very productive; in fact in five year tests conducted in Kentucky, Tennessee Beauty gave a greater average yield than either Blakemore or Tennessee Shipper and two and one-half times the average yield of Aroma. Berries are light in color, darkening very little on holding; they have a beautiful green cap, prettier than either Blakemore or Tennessee Shipper; berries are very firm and very attractive in the package. In the 1950 fruiting season we considered it either the best or next to the best variety we fruited out of about fifteen varieties. Berries ripen about with Catskill and extend through a long ripening period. Dozens of experiences have proved that it is a far better berry than Aroma; very, very few Aroma growers ever go back to Aroma once they have tried Tennessee Beauty. We recom-
