BLAKEMORE 
Leading Commercial Strawberry of South-Central States 
IDEAL FOR JAMS, JELLIES, PRESERVES 
Blakemore has several features which make it such an out- 
standing variety. The berries are very firm and thus will ship 
well; the color is a fine bright red that does not darken; for freez- 
ing and processing Blakemore is outstanding; its necked fruit 
(See Photo) make it one of the best for easy capping. Berries of 
Blakemore are fairly tart but have a delicious flavor when sugar 
is added. For this reason it is the berry you usually see in com- 
mercial ice cream, preserves, and other strawberry preparations. 
Another very desirable feature is the unusual plant vigor, for 
Blakemore will grow well in most types of soil and will withstand 
drought conditions. Blakemore is almost certain to make a good 
bed of plants. From Georgia to Pennsylvania Blakemore is the 
ideal strawberry for jams, jellies and preserves. Rayner’s stock 
of Blakemore is virus-free, yellows-free and extra vigorous. 
Blakemore prices: 100 plants for $2.95; 1000 for $15.00.

You will readily agree once you have

There Is No Other Strawberry That 
Can Match The Flavor Of Ripe, Fresh-

When fully ripe they are darker than 
average but when you taste one you 
Will realize why those who know grow 
Fairfax. Many commercial strawberry
