THE VARIETY THAT IS 
RAPIDLY CLIMBING TO 
THE TOP IN POPULARITY 
Wherever strawberries are discussed 
the talk turns to the amazing perform- 
ance of Pocahontas. Irom South to 
North it is really making a name for 
itself. Berries of Pocahontas are a 
beautiful bright red color and have a 
very attractive cap. The fruit is quite 
firm and the skin is tough thus mak- 
ing Pocahontas an excellent commerci- 
al variety. The features that make 
this variety so outstanding are its 
amazing plant vigor; great productive- 
ness and fine quality fruit. .Ripening 
in midseason this fine variety should 
certainly be on your order for we be- 
lieve Pocahontas to be one of the most 
promising of the newer varieties. Ray- 
ner’s stock of Pocahontas is especially 
healthy and vigorous and will make 
fruiting beds that are truly outstand- 
ing. The unsolicited testimonials giy- 
en below are proof of the wonderful 
performance of this fine variety.

Proctor, W. Va. July 19, 1956 
On July 23, 1955 I set 250 Pocahonias straw- 
berry plants which were purchased from you. 
This spring I picked more than 200 quarts of 
berries off these plants. 
I believe Rayner Bros. has the World beat in 
strawberry plants especially the Pocahontas. 
It is the best berry I have ever seen.

In 1954 I ordered some strawberry plants 
from you, among them 100 of the new Pocahon- 
tas. They sure did grow and we picked a total 
of 396 quarts from the Pocahontas this year.
