Rayner Brothers was one of the first nurseries in the United 

 States to introduce TEMPLE. Each year our sales of this variety 

 skyrocket to a new record and many experienced growers are calling 

 it the best all around strawberry. 



TEMPLE productiveness ranks well up with Premier and it 

 rates better than Premier in flavor and firmness. The vigor of 

 TEMPLE has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Plants have a 

 healthy, robust appearance and just grow, grow and grow while 

 supporting tremendous runner growth. 



TEMPLE has what you want in an early strawberry — quality 

 production of beautiful berries that will SELL THEMSELVES— 

 a long fruiting season and excellent frost resistance. 



Wide Soil Range — Does well in moist, poorly drained soil and is also 

 successful in higher, upland soils. Excellent frost resistance. 



Space Wide In Row — Free bedding habit of TEMPLE suggests spac- 

 ing wide in row, a minimum of 18 inches and up to 30 inches. Planting 

 too close may cause such dense beds that berry size, yield and quality 

 may be affected. 



Use Fertilizer Sparingly — The best practice is an early fall fertilizing 

 with little or no fertilizing in the spring. Heavy spring applications may 

 cause too dense foliage growth. 



STRAWBERRIES MAKE MONEY 



One of the best cash crops with growers through 

 out the country 



A profitable crop for small gardener as well as 

 commercial grower You can make BIG returns on 

 a small investment. 



From Crimora, Va., Mr. K. L. Chapman 

 writes : 



"We gathered over 1400 quarts, the qual- 

 ity the very best. One customer would 

 tell everyone he met and soon we had more 

 orders than we could fill.'"
