BLAKEMORE 
Ike IDEAL Commercial BERRY 
‘}WHE 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. 
Preduction—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. 
Ee 
Size—A uniform, medium to large fruit with a sprightly 
avon, 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 savior. 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.
