TENN. BEAUTY 



VIRUS 

 FREE 



LATE COMMERCIAL VARIETY 

 FOR SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES 



Tennessee Beauty is recommended as a 

 commercial variety in south-central and east- 

 ern states, where its firmness is a definite 

 advantage. Many growers tell us that it is 

 their best producer. 



The berries are of medium size and have a 

 bright, rich red color. The flavor is good, and 

 the slight tartness results in fine quality. For 

 freezing and preserving Tennessee Beauty 

 rates high since it produces a fine bright prod- 

 uct. One feature of this variety that is de- 

 sirable for processing is the ease with which 

 the cap comes off. With its many fine features 

 such as good quality, firmness, beauty, and 

 high production, Tennessee Beauty is defin- 

 itely a good variety for both commercial and 

 home plantings. 



Although we do not recommend large-scale 

 planting of Tennessee Beauty in the northern 

 states, it is considered a good commercial 

 variety in some sections.

DROUGHT 

 RESISTANT 



THE BEST FOR PRESERVES AND JAMS— WONDERFUL FOR FREEZING 



Because of its fine qualities when processed or frozen BLAKEMORE once was the most widely planted 

 commercial strawberry. Its sparkling, light-red, firm berries still produce the finest, most attractive 

 preserves you have ever seen. When frozen the berries hold their shape well and have fine color. For a 

 special attraction freeze some whole, with caps attached. Plants of Blakemore are especially vigorous 

 and will grow well in nearly any soil. This early variety is especially suited to moderate climates but 

 should do well in all but the coldest states. If you like strawberry preserves be sure to try Blakemore.

ALBRITTON 



CAROLINA 

 FAVORITE 



ALBRITTON is a leading commercial and home garden variety in the coastal region of North Caro- 

 lina and will give good results southward into Georgia and northward into Virginia. In this area it pro- 

 duces berries that are unusually attractive and of fine quality but unfortunately Albritton does not 

 give good results in colder climates. Rayner's virus-free stock of Albritton is especially vigorous and 

 productive.

FLORIDA 90 



BEST FOR 

 FLORIDA 



Because of the lack of cold weather in Florida there is not sufficient winter dormancy for fruit develop- 

 ment in most varieties of strawberry. The plants will grow but production of fruit is poor or absent. 

 For many years Missionary was the only variety that would produce good crops under Florida conditions, 

 but in recent years it has been largely replaced by Florida 90, a berry developed in Florida for Florida 

 conditions. This is the berry that is grown so extensively for shipment to the North. Its berries are large 

 and elongate and have a rich red color and wonderful flavor. Not satisfactory north of Georgia.
