Leading Commercial Strawberry of South-Central States 



Blakemore has long been The Commercial Strawberry of 

 much of the United States. In fact there are probably more 

 acres of this variety than any other strawberry. Only by out- 

 standing qualities could a variety reach such wide acceptance. 



One of the reasons for success is its dependability as a planr 

 maker : it grows well in most soil types and will withstauO 

 drought and other unfavorable conditions. Blakemore is one of 

 the very early varieties and can be depended upon to produce ;i 

 good crop every year. Berries are light, bright red with a no- 

 ticeable neck that Allows Easy Capping (see photo). Firmness 

 of the berries and the liright color of frozen and preserved pro- 

 ducts make Blakemore a favorite commercial variety. 



Rayner's plants are of a new improved, virus-free strain from 

 the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. If you are looking for the best in 

 Blakemore try Rayner Brother's Virus-Free Stock. 



Blakemore grows well in the area from New Jersey to Geor- 

 gia and west to Oklahoma. It is best suited for commercial grow- 

 ers since the fruit is tart and requires sugar to bring out its full 

 flavor. For this reason Blakemore Is Excellent For Preserves, 

 Jams And Jellies. Buy Rayner's plants and you buy the best. 



Rayner's nursery does not charge extra for virus-free stock. 



Blakemore prices: 100 plants $'^.95; 1.000 for $15.00. See
