When Rayner Brothers first entered the 
strawberry nursery business in 1926 Big Joe 
Was on our variety list. It had already be- 
come established as a good commercial ber- 
ry from Virginia to New York. Because of 
its great vigor and good crops of large fruit 
Big Joe Is Still A Favorite. It is of mid- 
season to late in ripening. BERRIES ARE 
ATTRACTIVE — light red in color, of large 
size and the flavor is good. Blossoms are 
produced on large, upright stems so that 
the fruit is held up off the ground. 
100 plants $3.70; 1,000 for $18.50. See 
page 20 for complete price list. 
A Natural In 
This U. S. 
between Fairfax and Chesapeake. As was hoped it combines 
the unexcelled flavor and quality of these two varieties. For the 
fresh market where a real quality strawberry is appreciated 
Fairpeake Is The Answer. This variety is not as easy to grow 
as some but the plants are very productive. Berries have a rich 
red color and a nice green cap. Its late season makes Fairpeake 
Areas Where Catskill, Sparkle And Fairland Are 
Grown. Rayner’s strong, vigorous planting stock will bring out 
the best in this fine variety.

RAPIDLY GAINING FAVOR IN NORTHERN 
AND CENTRAL STATES 
Vermilion was originally introduced by the Ullinois Experi- 
ment Station because of its resistance to the Red Stele dis- 
ease. However, it has rapidly gained in popularity in many 
states and is a good variety in nearly all soil types. Fruit 
of Vermilion is large and very attractive; it has a very 
bright color and is fine for freezing. Recent official tests in 
Ohio showed Vermilion to be one of the best varieties for 
high yields, producing at the rate of 7,000 quarts per acre. 
Plants of Vermilion are sturdy and vigorous and with Ray- 
ner’s virus-free stock you can be sure of excellent fruiting 
beds. In most areas the ripening season of Vermilion would be 
considered as late. One test in West Virginia shows that 
Vermilion picked at the rate of 19,625 quarts per acre. 
100 plants $3.20; 1,000 plants $16.00. Complete prices page 20.
