THE BLAKEMORE, originated several years 

 ago by the U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture 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 Pennsyl- 

 vania 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 make a heavy plant 

 growth on practically any soil and its rich, dark green 

 foliage stands up well above the berries. For an ideal earlv 

 variety, we recommend Blakemore. 



• BLAKEMORE Now Free of Yellow Leaves! 



At last we are able to announce a Blakemore entirely

 sturdy and pure. Our success in entirely eliminating all

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 

 we cannot assume any respon- 

 sibility for variety selection — 

 please do not ask for particular 

 varieties.
