VERY EARLY. 

 EXCELLENT QUALITY AND BEAUTY 



Throughout the northeastern and central 

 states, this is one of the finest of all strawberries 

 for flavor, quality, and appearance. The berries 

 are very large and have a beautiful deep red color. 

 The flesh is firm and has a fine solid red texture 

 that rates Midland as one of the best of all for 

 freezing. Berries ripen very early and bring top 

 prices, so this is a fine variety for either small or 

 large-scale commercial use. On Long Island virus- 

 free Midland has proven to be an outstanding 

 variety for the high-quality New York market. 



We strongly recommend Midland for home 

 gardens and local sales where its excellent quality 

 and fine appearance make it a real favorite. The 

 plants are vigorous and resistant to leaf troubles 

 and do not make too many runners as is the case 

 with some varieties. Give Midland good growing 

 conditions and you will be rewarded with a fine 

 strawberry in all respects. Rayner's registered 

 virus-free stock of Midland will bring the best 

 out of this excellent variety.

THE OLD FAVORITE EARLY BERRY 



Premier was introduced in 1918 as Howard 17. Later it was renamed Premier and became one of the 

 most widely grown of all strawberries. Even though it has been surpassed by many new varieties, 

 Premier has remained a favorite because it ripens early and is frost hardy even in cold climates. It pro- 

 duces light red berries in abundance, and in most of the northern states it is considered a very dependable 

 variety for home use or local sales.

ONE OF THE BETTER EARLY VARIETIES 

 FOR COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION 



Earlidawn ripens before all other 

 strawberries and produces tremendous 

 crops that lead the customers right to 

 your door for those early profits. 

 Berries of Earlidawn are light red in 

 color and have a fairly firm, light red 

 flesh. The flavor is tart and when used 

 for preserves and freezing this variety 

 gives fine results. 



Earlidawn does not make runners 

 freely but in reasonably good soil it , 

 will make a good fruiting bed. Sus- 

 ceptible to A^erticillium wilt, it should 

 not be planted where tomatoes or 

 potatoes have recently been grown. 

 Despite its earliness Earlidawn has 

 unusual frost resistance. It ripens 

 rapidly and produces lots of big berries 



that make the rows shine with the unmatched beauty of red, ripe strawberries.
