Catskill 



BIG YIELDS OF BIG BERRIES— OUTSTANDING FLAVOR 



This famous berry has long been the leading 

 variety in most of the northeastern United States. 

 It is especially hardy and consistently produces 

 unusually big crops. Berries of Catskill are large, 

 bright in color, and of excellent flavor. They 

 ripen in midseason and are a favorite for local 

 sales and home gardens. Catskill is generally not 

 firm enough for long distance shipment but is 

 excellent for "pick them yourself" plantings. 

 Plants of Catskill are very vigorous and resistant 

 to leaf troubles and Verticillium wilt. This 

 variety was introduced by the New York Agri- 

 cultural Experiment Station in 1933 and still re- 

 mains a favorite with thousands of growers who 

 praise its bumper crops of big delicious berries. 

 Through Penna. and northward into Canada, 

 Catskill gives fine results in nearly any soil that 

 is reasonably fertile and moist. Rayner's virus- 

 free true-to-name stock assures you of the best 

 possible results with Catskill.

Empire 



FOR NEW ENGLAND STATES 



Empire is another of the fine fruit developments of the 

 New York State Experiment Station. Thus, it is well suited 

 to the northern states where it is a fine midseason companion 

 of Catskill. Yields are good, and it has sufficient frost and 

 winter hardiness to be a very dependable producer. Empire 

 is an especially attractive berry since it has a very glossy, 

 medium red color and a fine green cap. The berry shape is 

 somewhat elongate and irregular. Berry size is large, and this 

 size holds up well for the entire picking season. The flesh color 

 of Empire is somewhat pale, and it is a bit soft, but the flavor 

 is very good. Its large size, fine appearance and good flavor 

 rate Empire as a real profit maker in northern states. We 

 definitely believe you will like this excellent variety. 



Plants of Empire are very vigorous, winter hardy and re- 

 sistant to Verticillium wilt. Runner plants are developed freely 

 and result in a good fruiting row. In all the New England 

 area, we believe you will have excellent results with Rayner's 

 virus-free Empire which produces such extra-big berries.

VERY LARGE 



Alhritton 



SOUTHERN FAVORITE 



ALBRITTON is a leading commercial and home garden variety in the coastal region of North Caro- 

 lina and will give good results southward into Georgia and northward into Virginia. In this area it pro- 

 duces berries that are unusually attractive and of fine quality but unfortunately Albritton does not 

 give good results in colder climates. Rayner's virus-free stock of Albritton is especially vigorous and 

 productive. 



25 Plants $3.30; 50 for $4.95; 1,000 for $33.00. See order sheet for postal charges.
