A WINNER IN NORTH CAROLINA 



In the coastal and piedmont areas of 

 North Carolina Albritton Is The Finest 

 Strawberry Anyone Could Ask For. 



This variety was introduced by the 

 North Carolina Experiment Station in 

 1952 and has proven to be an ontstand- 

 iug commercial variety. It has shown 

 line promise from the eastern shore of 

 Maryland through South Carolina. In 

 much of the south it should do verv 

 well. Berries Of Albritton Are A Beau- 

 tiful Glossy Red and retain their at- 

 trativeness long after picking. It rip- 

 ens early and the large fancv Berries 

 Bring Top Market Prices. Tlie berries 

 are very uniform and the flavor is ex- 

 cellent. We only wish that Albritton 

 could be guaranteed to perform in 

 other berry-growing areas as it does 

 m North Carolina. 



Rayner's virus-free stock of Albrit- 

 ton is especially strong and will give 

 you insurance for a fine crop. 



Prices: 100 plants for $2.95; 1,000 

 for $15.00. See page 21. 



AN OLD FAVORITE. PROVEN 

 GOOD BY MANY YEARS OF 

 SUCCESSFUL CROPS 



BIG JOE 



When Rayner Borthers first entered the strawberry nur- 

 serj^ business in 1926 Big Joe was on our variety list. It had 

 already become established as a good commercial berry from 

 Virginia to New York. 



Because of its great vigor and good crops of large fruit 

 Big Joe Is Still A Favorite. It is of mid-season to late in rip- 

 ening. BERRIES ARE ATTRACTIVE — light red in color, 

 of large size and the flavor is good. Blossoms are produced 

 on large, upright stems so that the fruit is held up oft" the 

 ground. 



Rayner's stock of Big Joe is strong and vigorous — we 

 can recommend it because of its years of proven quality as a 

 good shipper and home garden variety. 



Prices : 100 plants $3.50 ; 1,000 for $17.00.
