Khe WWEAL 
Ty HE BLAKEMORE, originated several years 
A ago by the U. S. Department of Agriculture 
as a scientific cross between the Premier and 
Townsends’ Missionary, has become one of the leading 
varieties throughout all states south of the Mason-Dixon 
line, extending even to Texas, Missouri, Arkansas and 
Indiana, and in many instances replacing the Klondyke and 
Missionary. The Blakemore may also be safely grown in 
those sections of Pennsylvania and New Jersey where plant 
control is practiced, but for best results in these sections, 
the beds should be kept down to a maximum width of two 
feet. 
Shipping Qualities—Fruit of Blakemore is very firm and 
holds up well on long distance hauls. It will also with- 
stand heavy rains while ripening on the vines, showing 
very little loss of fruit. 
Production—Produces 80% of its crop one week after first 
picking making it valuable to berry growers who need a 
heavy early producer to supply the early berry market in 
large quantities. 
Size—A uniform, medium to large fruit with a sprightly 
flavor, which has made it a leading canning and preserving 
variety. 
Vigorous Grower—Blakemore will 
growth on practically any soil and 
foliage stands up well above the berries.

Very often when filling daily 
orders we dig a slight surplus 
of various varieties. Since our 
business policy does not allow 
us to carry plants over to the 
following day, we are in a 
position to sell these at a 
sacrifice. The grower who is 
not especially particular about 
varieties can buy these plants 
at a sensational saving. Every 
plant is freshly dug, labelled 
and true to name. Because of 
these low prices, we regret that 
Wwe cannot assume any respon- 
sibility for variety selection— 
please do not ask for particular 
varieties.
