Blakemore Strawberries 



Blakemore Brings In The Money 



This variety has proven even better than Premier 

 in many sections. It has with us but in some sections 

 of Pennsylvania Premier is better, this may be the case 

 in some other sections. If you have not tried them in 

 your section we urge you to do so. We fruited a two- 

 year patch of them the past season and they were 

 much better than they were the year before. We think 

 much of Blakemore. 



Blakemore is a cross between Premier and Miss- 

 ionary, resembling the latter very much in plant growth, 

 being a free maker of medium size plants, a very heavy 

 producer of bright red berries, ripening two or three 

 days ahead of Missionary or Premier, which show the 

 unusual ability to hang on the vine from one to three 

 days after it is apparently ripe without any waste. Size 

 medium large, round to conical in shape, red to the cen- 

 ter. Its outstanding characteristics are its uniformity 

 of ripening, firmness and ability to stand shipment to 

 distant markets and arrive fresh and bright. We ad- 

 vise our customers to give this variety a thorough, 

 trial as we think very much of it. 



Beauty Is Well Liked By Many 



Well named as the berries are really beauties. A 

 midseason variety producing good crops of highly flavor- 

 ed, light red berries. Not as firm as some but especially 

 good for nearby markets. The plants are among the 

 strongest of any we grow and the blooms are said to 

 ba more frost resistant than some varieties. 



New York, April 25, 1935. The strawberry plants you 

 sent me arrived in excellent condition. They were 

 planted one week ago today and every one is showing 

 signs of growth. I am very much pleased with your 

 stock and please accept my thanks for the extras.
