- 3 EXTRA LARGE BERRIES 
MOR LATE—EXTRA FINE FLAVOR 
VIRUS-FREE 
This large, late berry was introduced in 
Missouri in 1950 and has become popular 
throughout most of the south-central and mid- 
Atlantic area and into New England. Its best 
features are extra large fruit size, very heavy 
yields, and fine flavor. These qualities make 
Armore an excellent variety for local sales and 
‘ick them yourself” operations. Because of its 
sweet flavor it is also very popular with home 
gardeners. Foliage of Armore is more susceptible 
to leaf troubles than some varieties, but it has so 
much vigor that a good fruiting row usually 
results. In many respects the berries of Armore 
resemble Catskill, and northern growers can use 
it very well to extend the season as it usually 
ripens after Catskill. Since large berries are 
always in demand, it appears that Armore will 
remain a favorite since it ranks near the top in 
this respect. 
Rayner’s virus-free stock of Armore will give the very best results.

Last spring I purchased 200 Armore, 200 Empire, and 100 Fairfax from Rayner’s. Every one lived and 
this spring they yielded more than 1,000 quarts of wonderful berries.

Two years ago you sold me 50 strawberry plants and I have had so many berries I couldn’t keep them 
picked. I would fill a big pan full and have to come in for another.

LATE COMMERCIAL VARIETY FOR SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES 
FINE FOR FREEZING AND PRESERVES 
Tennessee Beauty is recommended as a commercial 
variety in south-central and eastern states, where its firm- 
ness 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 product. 
One feature of this variety that is desirable 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 definitely 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. 
Tennessee Beauty usually is very vigorous, producing 
thickly matted fruiting beds. For best yield and quality 
some type of runner control should be practiced.
