Because of its tremendous production of de- 

 licious, firm, attractive berries, Midway has 

 had a popularity explosion that causes the 

 demand for plants to far exceed the supply. 

 Be sure to place your order early. Within a 

 few years this wonderful berry has become 

 the king for both commercial production and 

 home plantings. In Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, 

 West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Penn- 

 sylvania, and many other states it has become 

 a sensational favorite. If you want to grow 

 one of the best of all strawberries, be sure to 

 get Rayner's registered virus-free stock of 

 Midway. It has now proved to be one of the 

 heaviest yielding of all strawberries and one of 

 the best ever for big profits. 



It ripens in early midseason, producing large, 

 bright berries with extra fancy caps and bright 

 yellow seeds. Berries of Midway have a jiice 

 uniform shape and hold their large size and fine 

 appearance for the long harvest season. The berries have a firm flesh and firm skin, which permits long- 

 distance shipment and results in a nice-looking berry a day or two after they have been picked. Midway 

 is a delicious berry for fresh use and excellent for freezing and preserves. It has resistance to red stele 

 and is a very good plant maker if conditions are at all favorable. Be sure to try this superior variety. 

 25 Plants $4.10; 50 for $6.15; 100 for $9.20; 1,000 for $41.00. Complete Prices Page 17.

Raritan 



LARGE GLOSSY FRUIT— A REAL PROFIT MAKER 



Since its introduction in 1968, Raritan is fast becoming one of the favorite early midseason varieties. 

 If you live in the area from the east coast of Mrginia to Long Island, Maryland, Ohio or Pennsylvania, 

 you can grow Raritan with excellent results. 



In addition to having large glossy red fruit with an attractive cap, Raritan is firm and ships well. 

 The fruit has very good flavor and is recommended for fresh market and table use but not for freezing. 

 Because of its beauty and excellent shipping qualities, Raritan has become the favorite variety in New 

 Jersey. 



Plants run freely and produce a good bed in the matted row system. Raritan is not resistant to red 

 stele or Verticilhum wilt; therefore, we recommend avoiding land where these diseases are known to exist. 



The demand for this new variety is expected to be heavy, so order early to insure getting your plants. 



25 Plants $4.20; 50 for $6.30; 100 for $9.45; 1,000 for $42.00 

 Prices do not include postage. See page 18.
