VESPER 



VIRUS 

 FREE 



Vesper, which was tested as New Jersey se- 

 lection No. 157, provides strawberry growers 

 with the biggest and one of the latest of all 

 strawberries. This variety is truly amazing 

 because of its huge berries which are larger 

 than any other variety we know. It is much 

 like Jerseybelle in most respects, which it now 

 displaces as champion for berry size. For late- 

 ness it is about as late as Redstar which is gen- 

 erally considered to be the latest of all June- 

 bearing strawberries. Foliage of Vesper is gen- 

 erally vigorous but like Jerseybelle is a bit more 

 susceptible to leaf troubles than some varieties. 

 But with proper growing conditions Vesper can 

 be one of the most remarkable strawberries you 

 have ever seen. 



The unusually late ripening of this variety is 

 additional reason why it can be a real profit- 

 maker since you will still have fine berries after 

 other strawberries are gone. Be sure to try at 

 least a few of this amazing new variety that 

 will show you and your friends just how big a 

 strawberry can be.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank 

 you for the very prompt and efficient service 

 that you rendered me not only this time but in 

 the past. I have never seen strawberry plants 

 any nicer than the ones you sent me, regardless 

 of the cost.

The strawberry plants arrived in fine con- 

 dition and never have trees been packed with 

 greater care nor can one find better quality of 

 root system. You may ccunt on me to recom- 

 mend Rayner's plants and service at every op- 

 portunity.

BERRY 

 TERRACE 



SO feet of Row in a 

 G foot space 



IDEAL FOR SMALL YARDS 



The Terrace is made of aluminum to 

 hold its beauty for years. It will ac- 

 commodate 50 Everbearing strawberry 

 plants. The ease of watering and fer- 

 tilizing enables much more production 

 of fruit than would normally be realiz- 

 ed. The beauty of foliage and blos- 

 soms and the harvest of berries from 

 spring to frost will prove a constant 

 delight. 



You may prefer to grow one* or two 

 of the excellent June-bearing varieties 

 in your pyramid. Uo not remove the 

 blossoms but cut off the runners and 

 you will have excellent berries 60* days 

 or less after planting. Pocahontas. 

 Catskill, Redglow, or Fairfax should 

 give excellent results in a terrace. The 

 second season they would be* at their 

 best, producing almost 1 quart of fine 

 berries per plant.
