 VARIETY 



ORIGINATED several year> ago by the U. S. 

 Department of Agrirulture. thi- hardy strain 

 has achieved remarkable popularity in states 

 south of the Mason-Dixon line and as far north 

 as Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley. 

 For an early, solid production that will be both eco- 

 nomical and profitable, the Blakemore should be your 

 outstanding choice. It is so sturdy that it will with- 

 stand heavy rains with small loss of fruit, so en- 

 durant that heavy plant growth can be accomplished 

 in practically any soil, and vigorous enough to with- 

 stand more abuse and neglect in growth, picking or 

 shipping than any other variety. 



The fact that the new yellow resi^tant Blakemore is 

 held in high esteem is unquestionable. The sensation- 

 al evidence is in the survev that revealed twice as 



many acres are planted in Blakemore than any other 

 variety. As a matter of fact. 25'^ of all commercial 

 strawberry acreage? are planted in Blakemore. 



As a scientific cross between Premier and Townsend's 

 Missionary, its sizing is from medium to large fruit. 

 Its yield is abundant. The fact that 8ll'~f of its crop 

 is produced one week after the first picking make- it 

 invaluable to producers of large quantities for the 

 extra-early market. 



The perfect commercial berry, it's tops in choice by 

 canners and preservers. Because of its firmness. 

 Blakemore can withstand long distance hauls and 

 maintain its robust appearance.
