A Basket of Fancy Blakemore 



Oi 1 A great new early variety originated by Prof. Beatty 



l3id,K6mor6 of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, 

 D. C, and introduced by the Department in 1930. It has been thoroughly 

 tested in most of the strawberry producing sections of the United States 

 and seems to readily adapt itself to conditions existing where planted. 



A cross between Premier and Missionary, resembling the Missionary very much in 

 plant growth, being a free plant-maker of medium sized plants; a very heavy pro- 

 ducer of bright red berries, ripening two or three days ahead of Missionary or Premier, 

 which show the unusual ability to hang on the vine from one to three days after it is 

 apparently ripe, without any waste. Size medium large, round to conical in shape, 

 red to the center, without any green tips. Its outstanding characteristics are its 

 uniformity of ripening, firmness and ability to stand shipment to distant markets and 

 arrive fresh and bright. Our plants have been State inspected and found to be free 

 from all injurious diseases. We advise our customers to give this variety a thorough 

 trial as we believe it will prove a real money-maker. 



RED GOLD. Introduced by the Gardner Nursery Co., of Iowa, and highly recom- 

 mended by them- Ripens early, fair producer of medium to large berries having a 

 soiue-vThat oval shape. Its fine quality is its greatest recommendation. Red Gold is 

 a free plant maker, foliage disease resistant. Makes an excellent fruiting bed.We 

 would advise those of you who desire real quality to give them a trial.
