The Great Southern Shipping and Processing Berry 
BLAKEMORE is still the great southern shipping and processing berry. Plants 
are vigorous and it is sometimes necessary to thin the plants to keep the bed 
from getting too thick. BLAKEMORE berries are firm, light colored, quite 
tart in flavor — making them fair for freezing and preserving. Berries run 
medium to large in size under good conditions — with adequate moisture and 
no crowding in the beds. 
For great production far south 
DABREAK has in its parentage the Once Great Klonmore, as well as Head- 
liner. DABREAK was developed for Louisiana growers and fruit from this 
fine southern variety is attractive in size and color. Berries run large in size, 
similar to Florida 90 in pointed shape but color is brighter and holds well. 
DABREAK is excellent for shipping, preserving or freezing. DABREAK has 
resistance to leaf spot and scorch and this, along with great production of 
fine berries, makes it a variety well worth trying in the extreme South. 
DIXIELAND 
Still preferred by many 
DIXIELAND has a wide climatic adaptability which extends from Canada to 
Mexico. The berries are quite tart, light in color, very firm, big and beautiful. 
They are very popular for shipping and processing and will hold on the vines 
the best of any variety in our experience. 
Leaf variegation (yellows) continues to plague this variety and we control 
this condition by constant rogueing of our stock. Our stock is virus free but not 
free from yellows — but we do feel that for the grower who wants DIXIELAND, 
our stock is the best bet. 
DORSETT 
Attractive — firm berries 
DORSETT is a high quality berry which has many good points and a few bad 
ones. Certified virus free plants of DORSETT are not available but our stock 
grows as well as can be expected of a variety that is not virus free. DORSETT 
is productive, attractive and firm with a quality that is only exceeded by 
Fairfax and Suwannee. DORSETT is best grown on sites that are free from 
frosts as it is susceptible to frost injury and there is some difficulty in making 
the blossoms set fruit. Our present stock will make you an excellent fruiting 
row. 
The 500 Blakemore plants we last bought were the best I have ever bought. We made 
$265.00 the first year. Darwin McMurtry, Thebes, 111.
