Very Early 



MAYTIME 



EARLIEST TO RIPEN 

 • FIRST TO MARKET 



• FOR PREMIUM PRICES 



MAYTIME is an extra early berry fruiting from four to eight days earlier than 

 Premier, Dorsett and other early varieties. Berries ripen quickly, usually giving 

 two biggest pickings at premium prices before other early berries are ready. While 

 MAYTIME has been successful as far north as Massachusetts, we recommend it be 

 planted with caution in areas where late frosts 

 are usually prevalent. 



Free Growth — Vigorous, medium size plants produce runners 

 very freely, and readily form good fruiting bed. Resistant to 

 leaf spot and scorch. 



Large to Medium Berries — Average large at first and medium 

 to large later in, season, sliglitly smaller than Dorsett. First 

 berries cone and wedge shaped; later cone shaped. 



Sweet and Juicy — Flavor much sweeter and superior to 

 Blakemore and Missionary. Fine, juicy dessert quality. 



Glossy Brig:ht Red — Firm, glossy, bright red skin does not 

 darken with holding. Uniform seeds even with the surface. 



Good Shipper — MAYTIME'S firmness, fine appearance and 

 earliness makes it a profitable commercial berry in areas to 

 which adapted. 



MASSEY 



OUTSTANDING MIDSEASON 

 WITH BLAKEMORE GROWERS 



Berry growers in the Carolinas, Virginia and Mary- 

 land are particularly enthusiastic over MASSEY be- 

 cause it fills the bill for a variety to extend the fruiting 

 season after Blakemore begins to taper off. It has all 

 the qualities a berry needs, large size, mouth watering 

 beauty and a flavor that never disappoints. We heart- 

 ily recommend MASSEY in areas where Blakemore is 

 grown successfully.

 plants resistant to spot and scorch.

 well-developed berries of large to very large size. 



Glossy Bright Red — Vivid green cap and small yellow seed provide 

 fitting contrast to the high, glossy red making a berry of unusual 

 beauty. 



Delicious Flavor — Fine dessert quality and flavor fully retained 

 several davs after picking. 



Excellent Shipper — Firm berries hold up exceptionally well in 

 shipment.
