JERSEYBELLE 



HUGE, BEAUTIFUL BERRIES, EXTRA-LATE. BIG PROFITS. 



If you want big strawberries, then you 

 want Jerseybelle. For several years these 

 exceptionally large, beautiful berries have 

 been a sensation in the Hanimonton, New 

 Jersey area where they are grown for the 

 New York market. Jerseybelle has con- 

 sistently brought higher prices than any 

 other variety and has rapidly become the 

 leading berry in that area. Recently vir- 

 us-free stock of Jerseybelle became avail- 

 able and it has resulted in a tremendous 

 improvement in this variety. Now Jer- 

 seybelle has excellent plant vigor and will 

 give fine results in most soils. 



Berries of Jerseybelle have consist- 

 ently been the largest of any variety we 

 have ever seen and they have a beautiful 

 glossy color that gives a waxed appear- 

 ance. The cap is large and the seeds are 

 bright yellow, resulting in a berry of un- 

 usual beauty. The flesh is not nearly 

 as juicy as in some varieties thus, Jersey- 

 belle will hold its appearance quite well. 

 The flavor is not as good as for some ber- 

 ries but is satisfactory. The ripening season is quite late, about a week after Sparkle, which 

 greatly helps to prolong the picking season. 



Jerseybelle may show some leaf troubles but generally this is not a serious problem. In 

 northern soils, it is best not to plant Jerseybelle in land recently grown to tomatoes, potatoes, 

 or other strawberries. But if you are looking for that extra big berry that will make real pro- 

 fits, you will make a planting of Rayner's registered, virus-free Jerseybelle.

CAROLINA FAVORITE 



This excellent variety originated as a result of 

 a cooperative breeding program between the U. S. 

 Dept. of Agriculture and the North Carolina Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station. Albritton is unquestion- 

 ably one of the most perfect of all strawberries. It is 

 very large, has a beautiful glossy color with bright 

 seeds, and a large attractive cap. The fruit are so 

 uniform in shape that they look as if they were all 

 carefully graded. Flavor and quality are excellent 

 and the fiesh is firm enough to be a good shipping 

 berry. It is considered a late variety. 



Unfortunately it is very restricted as to the area 

 where it will produce consistently good yields. In the 

 coastal area of North Carolina it is usually excellent 

 but in areas of Virginia. Maryland, and New Jersey 

 it is not always a dependable variety.
