A fine old variety that is a friend to both the 

 producer and the consumer, a vigorous grower, a 

 heavy producer and a leader in quality of fruit 

 for late varieties. The fruit is large and a bright 

 glossy red with a vivid green cap and although 

 they are irregular in shape (many coxcomb) they 

 make a very attractive package. This attractive- 

 ness makes the first sale and the high quality of 

 the fruit gets the repeat orders. For the market 

 gardener or for the growers who place quality 

 equal to large size and handsome appearance, we 

 recommend Wm. Belt. The plants are of good size 

 and are dependable plant makers, making a well 

 spaced fruiting row. As Wm. Belt is subject to 

 rust in the southern states we recommend them 

 for the middle and northern sections. Our stock 

 of Wm. Belt plants is very good this year and the 

 plants were never nicer.

WM. BELT 



AROMA ^ very good late shipping berry, plants are vigorous and thrifty. Fruit is very firm 

 and can be shipped long distances with the assurance they will arrive at their des- 

 tination in first class condition. As appearance is reallj'' the most important feature in a com- 

 mercial variety, Aroma is ideal. They are very productive of large, smooth, fine quality, light 



red fruit that size up well to the end of the season. Aroma 

 has been and still is, a real money maker in many sections. 



LUPTON "^^ ^ ^^^^ shipping variety Lupton is very hard 

 to equal. The plants are strong, vigorous and 

 free plant makers on all types of soil. We recommend this 

 variety especially where it is hard to get a satisfactory 

 bed of Chesapeake. Lupton is productive of large glossy red 

 fruit with an attractive green cap. The outward appear- 

 ance of the fruit is very similar to Chesapeake, is very 

 firm and ships well but the flavor is mild and the texture 

 is dry and mealy, therefore, Lupton is unsuitable for home 

 garden, local market or for those who are building up their 

 own retail trade. First grown in New Jersey, Lupton is 

 steadily gaining popularity in Maryland, Delaware, Penn- 

 sylvania and other nearby states. 



CAMDEN Developed by the New York Experiment 

 Station. This is a new late variety, later 

 than Chesapeake but will ripen a few days before Gandy, 

 seems to have several good points for a late berry. The 

 berries are large, of fair quality and firm enough to ship 

 well. A good plant maker, making a very vigorous growth. 

 Susceptible to leaf spot this far south. Recommended from 

 LUPTON Pennsylvania, North. 



GIBSON (Parsons Beauty). An old and popular home garden or canning berry, is widely 

 planted in many sections of the country. Very productive of medium large, dark 

 red fruit of fine flavor, that cax) easily and retain their shape well in canning. Too soft for long 

 distance shipping. The plants are vigorous and healthy, making a fine fruiting bed. The num- 

 ber of times it has been introduced under different names is proof of its worth, having been 

 introduced as Parsons Beauty, Gibson, Sussex and Pocomoke. 



I have had several growers ask me from whom I bought my plants. I tell them all that Rayner's is 

 the only place to buy plants. I am sending you the names of some people who want your catalogue to 

 select from. Thanks for the extra plants you sent me; I appreciate them and will boost for you all the 

 time.— Mr. J. F. Otto, Mifflin Co., Penna. 



I received the plants and they were fine. The plants 

 loaded Avith berries.— ]Mr. Prank Lutcha, Ocean City, N. J.
