Southern Varieties 



BEST 

 KNOWN 



The warmer climate and shorter dorm.ant season in many of the Southern 

 States necessitates that special varieties be planted by strawberry growers in these 

 localities. Rayner Brothers offer the best known commercial varieties to the South- 

 ern grower who is seeking high quality in disease free plants of superior fruiting 

 strain. 



KLOHDYKE 



Rayner's New Improved 



A fine early commercial berry tliat is number 

 one with growers in South Carolina and wide- 

 Ij' grown as far south as Texas and in many 

 of the South Central States. A leader in 

 Louisiana. KLOXDYKE is beautiful to be- 

 hold with its vigoroas growth of unusually 

 clean foliage. Berries are medium large, 

 smooth and uniform bright red. Firm, excel- 

 lent shipping qualities make KLONDYKE in 

 top demand at Southern berry auctions. Ray- 

 ner's NEW IMPROVED KLONDYKE is a 

 favorite with successful berry growers. 



MISSIOHARY 



First In Florida 



An old dependable shipping variety that is 

 grown almost exclusively in Florida because 

 it requires a very minimum dormant season 

 and is so firm that it carries in excellent con- 

 dition to distant markets. Does well in all 

 types of soil, especially lighter types. Medium 

 size fruit is rather tart, da'rk red and very 

 attractive. A heavy producer. We are priv- 

 ileged to supply many of Florida's largest 

 growers with our superior strain MISSION- 

 ARY plants. 



AROMA 



Popular Shipping Berry 



AROMA has been a real money maker for 

 growers in the South and South Central States 

 who have found it fills the need for a good 

 late shipping berry. Entire crop sizes up well 

 with very firm, large, bright, attractive berries 

 on plants of fair vigor that are at their best 

 on moist, well-drained soil.

KLONMORE 



A Blakemore-Klondyke Cross 

 Very Popular In Louisiana 



Many of our customers in Louisiana will 

 have nothing but KLONMORE because this 

 cross of Kloudyke and Blakemore is preferred 

 by the berry buyers. Has most desirable 

 characteristics of both parents. Very vigorous 

 grower, productive of blunt cone shaped ber- 

 ries, light red color, firm and excellent shipper. 

 We would recommend a trial planting to grow- 

 ers throughout the Klondyke growing area. 



SUWANEE 



A Real Southern Table Berry 



SUWANEE is proving to have a very wide 

 growing range that makes it a very dependable 

 table berry for Southern gardens. We do not 

 believe the full range of SUWANEE'S adapt- 

 ability has been established and would recom- 

 mend trial plantings in Mississippi, Louisiana 

 and throughout the deep South and northward 

 to Virginia. Vigorous, free growing plants 

 produce fruit of unusually delicious flavor to 

 fill the need for a good dessert berry in the 

 South. 



KAYNER PLANTS CURED TROUBLES 



MR. JOE BLOUNT, Prominent Berry Grower from 

 HORRY COUNTY, S. C, Says: 



"We v^'eve constantly troubled with poor straw- 

 berry plants until we started ordering from Rayner 

 Brothers. Every year more growers from this 

 section send their orders to Rayners because they 

 have seen for themselves that these plants do best". 



BEST PLANTS EVER SEEN 



Cherokee County, S. C, April 15, 1947 



In the past I have ordered plants from several 



plants growers, but the plants from you were the

not praise your plants high enough.
