EXTRA LARGE BERRIES 

 LATE — EXTRA FINE FLAVOR 



VIRUS-FREE 



During- the past few years Armore has 

 gained greatly in popularity in the north- 

 eastern states. Armore conld almost he con- 

 sidered a late-season Catskill. Its herries are 

 very large and have a nice hright color that 

 makes them very attractive. The flesh color 

 is light red and the quality is excellent. It 

 is good for freezing. 



Armore has really found a place w^ith berry 

 growers who sell direct to the customers be- 

 cause it is very large, late-ripening, and has 

 a fine sweet flavor. These features bring 

 repeat sales and good profits. Armore is 

 well suited to the south central and middle- 

 Atlantic states and is also well liked in the 

 northern area. It is quite vigorous but its 

 foliage is not as resistant to leaf troul)les as 

 some varieties.

About a year ago I sent for a series of Ray- 

 ner's "Better Berries Bulletins". I have not 

 found anything so packed full of helpful, down- 

 to-earth information on the culture of small 

 fruits, etc. as these bulletins.

Several years ago I received 25 plants each of 

 Robinson, Redglow, and Pocahontas from you. 

 These were the best plants I ever received and 

 gave the finest berries I have raised in all my 

 life.

TENN. BEAUTY 



VIRUS 

 FREE 



BIG YIELDS - FIRM - LATE 



Tennessee Beauty is recommended as a commer- 

 cial variety in south central and eastern states, where 

 its firmness is a definite advantage. Many growers 

 tell us that it is their best producer. Plants are vig- 

 orous and make lots of runners. 



The berries are of medium size and have a bright, 

 deep red color. The flavor is good, and the slight tart- 

 ness results in flne quality. For freezing and preserv- 

 ing Tennessee Beauty rates high since it produces a 

 fine bright red product. One feature of this variety 

 that is desirable for processing is the ease with which 

 the cap comes off. In fact ripe berries often loose 

 their cap when they are picked. With its many fine 

 features such as good quality, firmness, beauty, and 

 high production, Tennessee Beauty is definitely a good 

 variety both for commercial and home plantings. 



Althoug-h we do not recommend large scale plant- 

 ing of Tennessee Beauty in the northern states, it is 

 considered a good commercial variety in some sections. 

 Rayner's virus-free stock of this fine variety is extra 

 vigorous and will get your plants off to a flying start 

 that will result in excellent fruiting rows and high 

 yield. Tenn. Beauty usually is very vigorous, produc- 

 ing thickly matted fruiting beds. For best yield and 

 quality some tvpe of runner control should ])e ])rac- 

 ticed. 25 Plants $1.90; 50 for $2.85; 100 for .$4.30; 

 1,000 for $19.00. Plus Postage. See page 21.
