LARGE EXTRA-LATE 



The big feature of Redstar is its unusual lateness. It 

 ripens a week or more after the normal late varieties. 

 Thus, Redstar is very popular with both home gardeners 

 and commercial producers who want to extend the berry 

 season as long as possible. Another advantage of this 

 lateness is that Redstar rarely is hurt by frost and thus is 

 a dependable producer throughout most of the Eastern 

 states. 



Redstar does best in fertile soil where it will make a 

 nice bed of unusually large plants. The fruit is large, attrac- 

 tive, and has a very big cap that makes Redstar a beautiful 

 berry. Flavor and quahty are good, and it makes a nice 

 frozen product. 



Rayner's registered stock of virus-free Redstar has re- 

 sulted in a great increase in popularitj' of this fine variety. 

 It still requires good growing conditions for best results, 

 but now Redstar is much more dependable.

LARGE BERRIES— LATE— FINE FLAVOR 



For many years ARMORE has been a favorite variety with home gardeners and local market 

 growers. This variety is well suited throughout the area from Missouri to New England. Although 

 rated as a late variety it ripens several days ahead of such extra-late varieties as Redstar and Vesper. 

 Armore is a good plant maker and grows well in most soils. 



Its fohage is subject to leaf troubles but this does not seem to interfere with heavy yields of large, de- 

 licious berries which have a good red color inside and out. For big yields of a large, late, sweet berry 

 be sure to try Rammer's \drus-free stock of Armore.

HUGE BERRIES— VERY LATE 



14 



Vesper, which was tested as New Jersey selection 

 Xo. 157, provides strawberry growers with the big- 

 gest and one of the latest of all strawberries. This 

 variety is truly amazing because of its huge berries, 

 which are as large as any variety we know. It is 

 much like Jerseybelle in most respects, which it now 

 displaces as champion for berry size. For lateness 

 it is about as late as Redstar, which is generally con- 

 sidered to be the lat-est of all June bearing straw- 

 berries. Foliage of Vesper is generally vigorous but 

 like Jerseybelle is a bit more susceptible to leaf 

 troubles than some varieties. But with proper grow- 

 ing conditions Vesper can be one of the most remark- 

 able strawberries you have ever seen. 



The unusuaU}' late ripening of this variety is 

 additional reason why it can be a real profit maker, 

 since you will still have fine berries after other straw- 

 berries are gone. Be sure to \r\ at least a few of this 

 amazing new variety that will show you and your 

 friends just how big a strawberry- can be.
