CELEBRATING ITS 10th ANNIVERSARY AS A LEADER FOR 
COMMERCIAL AND HOME SSpEN PRODUCTION 
Recently we received the official report We we 4 GE 
of ‘“On-The-Farm Strawberry Variety ae 
Trials’? published by the West Virginia 
Agricultural Extension Service. Their 
annual strawberry testing program had 
plantings in 20 counties in West Virginia, 
and in the 1963 harvest season Pocahontas 
was the leading variety. It averaged 
5,950 quarts per acre, with the highest 
yield being 18,200 quarts per acre. It was 
rated large for size, firm in texture, and 
very good for freezing. This is the type of 
performance that has kept Pocahontas in 
the forefront of commercial and home 
garden production since it was introduced 
by the U. 8. Department of Agriculture 
in 1954. It ripens in midseason and aver- 
, ages very large size for the entire harvest. 
. Berries of Pocahontas are bright red, the 
texture is firm, and the inside color is a 
. good rich red. When fully ripe, the flavor 
is very good. Throughout the area from 
New York state southward to Georgia 
and westward to Texas and Iowa, Poca- 
hontas has proved unquestionably in the past ten years that it is a real profit maker for commercial 
growers and a favorite for home gardeners. Growers who want high yields of extra-fancy berries find 
that Pocahontas, grown under a spaced runner system, with proper fertilizing and irrigation, will give 
amazing results. Our planting stock is the new, improved strain that will delight you with its big, vig- 
orous plants and high yields of very large berries.

Please do not send any variety other than Pocahontas. I have grown them for 5 years and they are wonderful.

We received the 5,000 Pocahontas and 2,000 Midway strawberry plants a few weeks ago. They arrived in 
wonderful time and wonderful condition. Boxes were all intact, plants just right with right amount of moisture 
and right stage of maturity. Cuarues A. Ryan, Waukesha, Wisconsin 
‘SENATOR DUNLAP ““: 
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. Thus, it is well 
| liked in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, and other states having severe winter 
weather. Dunlap will also grow well in poor soils and in heavy clay soils and is very drought resistant. 
Berries of Senator Dunlap are of medium size and have a rich red color inside and out. For berries that 
will bring back memories of that delicious wild strawberry flavor, try Rayner’s registered stock of virus- 
free Dunlap. Place your order early to be sure of obtaining the desired varieties. 
25 Plants $1.80; 50 for $2.70; 100 for $4.05; 1,000 for $18.00. Complete Prices Page 20.
