HUGE, BEAUTIFUL BERRIES—-LATE—VERY PRODUCTIVE 
If you want big strawberries, then you 9 sqe==5=== sean 
want Jerseybelle. For several years these 
exceptionally large, beautiful berries have 
been a sensation in the Hammonton, 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 virus- 
free stock of Jerseybelle became available, 
and it has resulted in a tremendous im- 
provement in this variety. Now Jerseybelle 
has excellent plant vigor and will give fine 
results in most soils. 
Berries of Jerseybelle have consistently 
been the largest of any variety we have 
ever seen, and they have a beautiful glossy 
color that gives a waxed appearance. The 
cap is large and the seeds are bright yellow, 
resulting in a berry of unusual beauty. 
The flesh is not nearly as juicy as in some 
varieties, thus Jerseybelle will hold its appear- 
ance quite well. The flavor is not as good as for some berries 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 profits, you will make a planting of 
Rayner’s registered, virus-free Jerseybelle.

Last year we ordered 250 of Rayner’s Jerseybelle and they really are everything the book says. We are 
picking now and have some as large as hen eggs. Mr. Harotp B. Moore, Cumberland, Ohio 
= ARMOR 
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 
“nick 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. oe : 
Rayner’s virus-free stock of Armore will give the very best results.
