FLETCHER was released by the New York 

 Agricultural Experiment Station in 1959 as a 

 result of the outstanding breeding program of 

 Dr. (ieorge L. Slate. For several years this 

 variety has been tested in New York and other 

 states and has proven to be a very promising 

 berry for both home use and commercial pro- 

 duction. It is a cross of Midland with Suwannee, 

 both of which have excellent quality, and as a 

 result Fletcher has a wonderful flavor that should 

 appeal to all who appreciate good strawberry flavor. Berries of Fletcher are reasonably large, bright 

 in color, excellent for freezing, and sufficiently firm for commercial marketing. The plants are 

 vigorous, tall, and very productive. Fletcher is a fairly late variety — ripening about 3 days after 

 Sparkle. It is very winter hardy and well adapted to northeastern conditions. 



25 Plants $3.00; 50 for $4.55; 100 for $6.75; 1,000 for $30.00. Complete Prices Page 18.

FULTON was introduced by the New York Experiment Station to provide a good, firm strawberry 

 suited to cold climates. As most northern berries are rather soft, the firmness of this beautiful, productive, 

 midseason variety, is quite important to commercial growers who want a variety that will bring top 

 prices at local markets. Plants of Fulton are vigorous and resistant to leaf troubles. 

 25 Plants $2.50; 50 for $3.75; 100 for $5.60; 1,000 for $25.00.

SENATOR DUN LAP 



THE OLD-FASHIONED VARIETY WITH WILD STRAWBERRY FLAVOR 



Dunlap was named in Illinois in 1890 and has withstood the test of time better than any standard 

 variety. It was a favorite long ago because of its wonderful flavor and excellent quality for fresh use and 

 preserves. Today Senator Dunlap still has these same excellent features and has also proven to be fine 

 for freezing. The plants are extremely winter hardy and will grow in our coldest states. Try Rayner's 

 registered stock of virus-free Dunlap.

REDCOAT 



In recent "On-The-Farm" trials with strawberry varieties 

 by the University of West Virginia, REDCOAT appeared to 

 be a very promising variety. It was very productive with 

 very attractive, firm berries that were rated good for pro- 

 cessing and freezing. This fine variety was introduced by the 

 Canadian Dept. of Agriculture and of course is very winter 

 hardy. Redcoat ripens in midseason and appears to be well 

 worth trial in most moderate to cold climates. Rayner's 

 virus-free stock will give best results. 



25 Plants $3.00; 100 for $6.75; 1,000 for $30.00.
