DIXIELAND 



MRUS FKEK 



FIRMEST OF ALL 



STRAWBERRIES. FINE 



COMMERCIAL VARIETY 



There are two very valuable features 

 of Dixieland that make it an important 

 commercial variety. First is the un- 

 usual firmness of the berry. This qual- 

 ity is of extreme importance to growers 

 and produce buyers who ship to distant 

 markets. Dixieland arrives in fine con- 

 dition and brings repeat orders because 

 when placed on the sales shelf it still 

 is bright and attractive. Another im- 

 portant quality of Dixieland is its re- 

 sistance to fruit rot. It will often pro- 

 duce perfect berries under wet condi- 

 tions that favor much loss of other va- 

 rieties. 



Dixieland ripens early and is suffici- 

 ently frost-resistant to give fine yields 

 in northern states. The berries are 

 large and light-red in color. They have 

 a distinct neck and a small cap. The 



flavor is definitely tart but for preserves there is no better variety. The bright inside color 

 lielps make Dixieland an excellent variety for freezing. In the southern states it has replaced 

 Blakemore to a large extent because it has many of its good qualities plus larger size. 



Plants of Dixieland are quite vigorous and will grow well in nearly any soil type. The 

 plants do not mat too heavily in the row and thus a good crop develops in the entire bed. Ray- 

 ner's virus-free stock of Dixieland will produce top yields and big profits. If you are looking 

 for a strawberry that will stand long-distance shipment and has good size and appearance we 

 definitely recommend this U.S.D.A. variety.

FAVORITE EARLY VARIETY 

 FOR NORTHERN STATES

VIRUS-FREE 



Premier originated in Massachusetts 

 in 1918 under the name of Howard 17. 

 But later it became known as I'remier 

 and the original name has been for- 

 gotten. Although it is being replaced 

 to some extent by newer varieties, the 

 fine (lualities of Premier which have 

 made it a leader for 40 years still keep 

 it a favorite. 



The berries ripen early and have a 

 light, bright color that is quite at- 

 tractive. Primary berries are large 

 and often double, but later berries are 

 of medium size. The fiavor is fairly 

 good and slightly acid. However, the 

 inner flesh is somewhat pale and does 

 not produce the best frozen product. 

 Berry texture is somewhat soft but in 

 northern areas is adequate for fresh 

 market sales and home use. I'remier 

 is very hardy and will grow in nearly 

 any soil type. Kayner's Premier is of 

 the U.S.D.A. type.
