RIGINATED several years ago by the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture, this 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 resistant Blakemore is 
held in high esteem is unquestionable. The sensation- 
al evidence is in the survey that revealed twice as

many acres are planted in Blakemore than any other 
variety. As a matter of fact, 25% of all commercial 
strawberry acreages 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 80% of its crop 
is produced one week after the first picking makes 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.
