VERY EARLY. 
EXCELLENT QUALITY AND BEAUTY 
Throughout the northeastern and central 
states, this is one of the finest of all strawberries 
for flavor, quality, and appearance. The berries 
are very large and have a beautiful deep red color. 
The flesh is firm and has a fine solid red texture 
that rates Midland as one of the best of all for 
freezing. Berries ripen very early and bring top 
prices, so this is a fine variety for either small or 
large-scale commercial use. On Long Island virus- 
free Midland has proven to be an outstanding 
variety for the high-quality New York market. 
We strongly recommend Midland for home 
gardens and local sales where its excellent quality 
and fine appearance make it a real favorite. The 
plants are vigorous and resistant to leaf troubles 
and do not make too many runners as is the case 
with some varieties. Give Midland good growing 
conditions and you will be rewarded with a fine 
strawberry in all respects. Rayner’s registered 
virus-free stock of Midland will bring the best 
out of this excellent variety.

THE OLD FAVORITE EARLY BERRY | 
Premier was introduced in 1918 as Howard 17. Later it was renamed Premier and became one of the | 
most widely grown of all strawberries. Even though it has been surpassed by many new varieties, | 
Premier has remained a favorite because it ripens early and is frost hardy even in cold climates. It pro- 
duces light red berries in abundance, and in most of the northern states it is considered a very dependable 
variety for home use or local sales.

ONE OF THE BETTER EARLY VARIETIES 
FOR COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION 
Earlidawn ripens before all other | 
strawberries and produces tremendous 
crops that lead the customers right to 
your door for those early profits. | 
Berries of Earlidawn are light red in 
color and have a fairly firm, light red’ 
flesh. The flavor is tart and when used — 
for preserves and freezing this variety 
gives fine results. 
Earlidawn does not make runners: 
freely but in reasonably good soil it! 
will make a good fruiting bed. Sus- 
ceptible to Verticillium wilt, it should 
not be planted where tomatoes or 
potatoes have recently been grown. 
Despite its earliness Earlidawn has 
unusual frost resistance. It ripens, 
rapidly and produces lots of big berries’ 
that make the rows shine with the unmatched beauty of red, ripe strawberries. |
