  NO 
  STRAWBERRY 
  GROWER 
  CAN 
  NOW 
  AFFORD 
  TO 
  PLANT 
  THE 
  OLD 
  TYPE 
  BLAKEMORE 
  AND 
  THIS 
  

   GREAT 
  COMMERCIAL 
  BERRY 
  WILL 
  CONTINUE 
  TO 
  BE 
  ONE 
  OF 
  THE 
  GREAT 
  BERRIES 
  OF 
  RECENT 
  IN- 
  

   TRODUCTION. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  south 
  and 
  central 
  berry 
  areas 
  the 
  Blakemore 
  

   has 
  proved 
  to 
  be 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  finest 
  of 
  all 
  Early 
  shipping 
  

   berries. 
  A 
  cross 
  between 
  Premier 
  and 
  Missionary 
  orig- 
  

   inated 
  and 
  introduced 
  by 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  Department 
  of 
  Agri- 
  

   culture. 
  Possibly 
  no 
  new 
  variety 
  has 
  become 
  so 
  widely 
  

   grown 
  in 
  so 
  few 
  years 
  since 
  introduction 
  and 
  proven 
  so 
  

   satisfactory 
  as 
  a 
  commercial 
  berry. 
  The 
  old 
  type 
  orig- 
  

   inally 
  released 
  showed 
  a 
  tendency 
  to 
  sport 
  into 
  inferior 
  

   yellow 
  foliaged 
  strains. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  free 
  plant 
  maker 
  

   and 
  responds 
  quickly 
  to 
  good 
  treatment. 
  It 
  is 
  an 
  abund- 
  

   ant 
  bearer, 
  the 
  fruit 
  averages 
  large 
  and 
  retains 
  its 
  

   bright 
  attractive 
  red 
  color 
  even 
  after 
  being 
  picked 
  sev- 
  

   eral 
  days. 
  Quality 
  is 
  superior 
  to 
  Missionary 
  and 
  Klon- 
  

   dyke 
  but 
  not 
  equal 
  to 
  Premier. 
  It 
  will 
  ripen 
  a 
  few 
  days 
  

   earlier 
  than 
  Premier. 
  The 
  foliage 
  is 
  healthy 
  and 
  vig- 
  

   orous. 
  The 
  plants 
  hold 
  up 
  well 
  during 
  a 
  drought. 
  The 
  

   berries 
  are 
  firm 
  and 
  unexcelled 
  as 
  a 
  long 
  distance 
  ship- 
  

   ping 
  berry 
  and 
  preferred 
  by 
  all 
  Strawberry 
  processing 
  

   companies. 
  

  

  If 
  your 
  soil 
  is 
  only 
  moderate 
  in 
  fertility 
  PLANT 
  

   BLAKEMORE 
  and 
  you 
  are 
  assured 
  of 
  a 
  good 
  set 
  of 
  

   plants 
  for 
  picking. 
  Whether 
  your 
  soil 
  is 
  sandy 
  or 
  clay 
  

   you 
  can 
  depend 
  on 
  Blakemore 
  producing 
  better 
  beds 
  

   and 
  producing 
  fruit 
  where 
  many 
  other 
  varieties 
  will 
  

  

  fail 
  for 
  you. 
  THE 
  NEW 
  FAIRMORE 
  

  

  Fairmore 
  

  

  A 
  Fairfax-Blakemore 
  Cross 
  Produces 
  A 
  Great 
  

   Early 
  Berry 
  

  

  Large 
  Size 
  — 
  Good 
  Quality 
  — 
  Firmness 
  and 
  Parentage 
  Recommends 
  

   Fairmore 
  for 
  Extensive 
  Trial 
  by 
  Berry 
  Growers 
  of 
  

   the 
  Central 
  and 
  Southern 
  Areas. 
  

   The 
  Fairmore 
  is 
  a 
  cross 
  between 
  Fairfax 
  and 
  Blakemore, 
  and 
  both 
  of 
  these 
  being 
  

   Premier 
  crosses 
  we 
  find 
  much 
  of 
  the 
  heavy 
  producing 
  habits 
  and 
  fine 
  quality 
  of 
  the 
  

   Premier 
  predominating 
  in 
  the 
  Fairmore. 
  Tests 
  so 
  far 
  reveal 
  it 
  will 
  produce 
  heavier 
  

   per 
  plant 
  than 
  the 
  Blakemore 
  and 
  Missionary. 
  The 
  berries 
  are 
  large, 
  very 
  firm, 
  and 
  

   have 
  brought 
  a 
  premium 
  on 
  the 
  N. 
  C. 
  markets 
  so 
  far. 
  The 
  berry 
  ripens 
  early, 
  about 
  

   with 
  Blakemore. 
  When 
  introduced 
  it 
  was 
  not 
  recommended 
  for 
  berry 
  districts 
  north 
  

   of 
  Norfolk, 
  Va., 
  but 
  tests 
  have 
  proven 
  it 
  can 
  be 
  grown 
  much 
  farther 
  North 
  and 
  having 
  

   so 
  much 
  Premier 
  parentage 
  we 
  recommend 
  it 
  to 
  be 
  tried 
  thoroughly 
  in 
  Southern 
  Ohio, 
  

   Penna., 
  and 
  New 
  Jersey 
  berry 
  sections.

  My 
  dear 
  Mr. 
  Kemp 
  : 
  

  

  Thank 
  you 
  very 
  much 
  for 
  the 
  grand 
  order 
  which 
  you 
  sent. 
  The 
  strawberries 
  ar- 
  

   rived 
  Saturday 
  and 
  of 
  course 
  are 
  about 
  the 
  finest 
  I 
  have 
  ever 
  seen. 
  There 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  

   no 
  set 
  back 
  by 
  transplanting. 
  

  

  We 
  shall 
  always 
  be 
  happy 
  to 
  recommend 
  Bountiful 
  Ridge 
  Nurseries. 
  

  

  Mrs. 
  Vilma 
  K. 
  Woodward 
  

  

  When 
  Mr. 
  Smith 
  came 
  

   for 
  his 
  plants 
  we 
  took 
  

   him 
  to 
  the 
  field 
  where 
  we 
  

   were 
  digging 
  Premier 
  and 
  

   his 
  smile 
  indicates 
  how 
  

   well 
  satisfied 
  he 
  was 
  with 
  

   our 
  Premier 
  plants. 
  Dis- 
  

   ease 
  free, 
  vigorous,

   rooted

  THE 
  PLANT 
  SUPPLY 
  FOR 
  FALL 
  1942 
  and 
  SPRING 
  1943. 
  

  

  General 
  conditions 
  combined 
  with 
  labor 
  shortages 
  resulted 
  in 
  reduced 
  plantings 
  by 
  the 
  plant 
  Nurseries 
  in 
  

   the 
  spring 
  1942. 
  Lack 
  of 
  rainfall 
  and 
  unfavorable 
  growing 
  conditions 
  during 
  May, 
  June 
  and 
  July 
  in 
  many 
  plant 
  

   sections 
  has 
  further 
  reduced 
  plant 
  prospects 
  and 
  a 
  carelul 
  survey 
  indicates 
  not 
  more 
  than 
  a 
  65% 
  normal 
  supply 
  

   of 
  plants 
  for 
  shipment 
  spring 
  1943. 
  This 
  indicated 
  plant 
  shortage 
  will 
  mean 
  many 
  disappointments 
  to 
  the 
  late 
  

   buyers.

  however, 
  WE
