Karlidawn has really made a hit with berry grow- 

 ers who want those big- early profits. It ripens sev- 

 eral days before other varieties and leads the cus- 

 tomers ri^ht to you. Berries of Earlidawn are larfi;e, 

 moderately tirm, and very attractive. The tlesh has 

 a nice brij^ht red color and makes a fine frozen i)ro- 

 duct. Earlidawn ripens uniformly, without white 

 tips, and the whole row shines with that unmatched 

 color of big ripe strawberries. Production is jjood 

 and the crop ripens uniformly with 50% beinj? har- 

 vested in the first week. 



Despite the fact that Earlidawn is the earliest of 



all strawberries, it has sood frost resistance and will 



produce a full crop where other varieties are l)adly 



injured. In poor soils, Earlidawn is not as vij^orous 



as some varieties, but give it good growing conditions 



and you will be amazed at its wonderful production of big, beautiful, early berries. For best 



results it should not be grown in land that has recently been cropped to tomatoes, and other 



strawberries. Throughout the northeastern and central states Earlidawn has proven that it is 



a real profit maker and with Rayner's registered, virus-free plants, you have extra assurance 



of success. Order early to reserve your plants, since this variety usually "sells out."

THE OLD FAVORITE EARLY BERRY 



For over forty years Premier has been the standard early 

 strawberry for northern states. It has long been recognized as 

 one of the most dependable varieties since it has frost resistance 

 and will grow under nearly any soil conditions. The foliage is 

 vigorous and makes an abundance of sturdy plants which produce 

 heavy yields. 



P>erries of Premier have an attractive light red color and are 

 of medium size. The flavor is generally good and in northern 

 states is l)etter than in warm areas. Premier is not as firm in 

 texture as some other varieties but is generally satisfactory for 

 fresh market sales and home use. In areas, where winter-hardi- 

 ness is important. Premier is a good choice since it has established 

 a fine record of performance in cold climates. Recently it has 

 been shown that Premier has resistance to Verticillium Wilt. This 

 trouble occurs in some northern soils, especially where tomatoes 

 and potatoes have been grown.

DIXIELAND 



VERY 

 FIRM 



At present all known sources of Dixieland are affected with a trouble known as "Yel- 

 lows". Until "Yellows-free" plants of this fine commercial variety are available we will not 

 be able to guarantee Dixieland. But It is still being widely grown because of its very firm, big 

 berries which make Dixieland such an excellent "shipping" variety.
