BLAKEMORE 



%i IDEAL C<rm*n&icice£ BERRY 



THE BLAKEMORE, originated several years 

 ago by the U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 as a scientific cross between the Premier and 

 Yownsends' 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 it) 

 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 make a heavy plant 



growth on practically any soil and its rich, dark green 



foliage stands up well above the berries. For an ideal early] 



variety, we recommend Blakemore.

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.
