BLAKEMORE has been held in the same high esteem by 

 the Southern grower that Premier has enjoyed in the North. 

 And this is as it should be, as BLAKEMORE is a cross of 

 Premier and Missionary, which gives it a firmness and color 

 that holds up in long distance shipments. These qualities, 

 plus early fruiting, give BLAKEMORE a good market over a 

 radius of 1,000 miles. Early to market in top condition 

 means top prices and the South has enjoyed consistently 

 high returns over a long fruiting season. To the grower who 

 has been troubled with "yellows", we offer plants that are 

 grown from yellow-free strains remarkably free from yellows 

 during several years of careful propagation from choice 

 mother stock. 



Abundant Growth — Under practically all conditions and soils, 

 BLAKEMORE will make abundant growth free from leaf troubles. 

 Need thinning on very ricli soils to produce larger berries. 



Uniform Size — Very uniform, medium size berries hold up well 

 all season. 



Produces Freely — Free bedding habit makes good fruiting row. 

 Dependable year after year. 



Long Distance Sliipper — One of the firmest varieties. Good skin 

 with light red color that does not darken when overripe. Their fine 

 arrival condition means customer satisfaction and repeat orders. 



Fine Field Keepers — Fruit may hang on vines two or three days 

 after normal ripening without loss in color and firmness. Minimizes 

 loss from weather delays or picking labor shortages. 



Excellent For Freezing And Canning — Medium sub-acid, firm flesh 

 of fine texture, red color.
