BIG JOE 



A TWENTY YEAR FAVORITE MIDSEASON 

 FROM VIRGINIA NORTHWARD 



Until the introduction of Catskill, BIG JOE was 

 the best and most popular midseason variety. 

 And it is still the first choice of many growers 

 because of good success they have enjoyed 

 year after year. BIG ]QE ripens just as earlier 

 varieties have finished fruiting and ripens a 

 major portion of crop in three big pickings, 

 usually when large, attractive berries are at a 

 premium. Try Rayner's BIG JOE and you will 

 have BIG JOE at its best. 



Abundant Growth — Strong, vigorous plants with 

 unusually healthy foliage in abundance. Fruit stalks 

 strong and upstanding. 



Large, Light Red Berries — Fine, full-bodied, tangy 

 flavored berries run large to very large and with 

 sufficient moisture berries size up well to last of crop. 



Good Shipper — Berries hold up well and are firm enough for long distance shipping. 



Heavy Producer — Under normal conditions, production is very heavy. 



BIG JOE Prices: 100 plants, $2.60; 1000 plants, $13.00. Complete Price List on page 43.
