 YOU EVER SAW 



NEW VIGOR FROM RAYNER'S VIRUS - FREE STOCK 



CATSKILL 



Catskill ^yas first iiitrodncod in 1!):)3 from the New York 

 Experiment Station. For a number of years it was an out- 

 standing variety producing tremendous crops. However, it 

 began to decline because of virus infection. Now thanks to 

 the excellent work of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture virus-free 

 stock of Catskill is available. All Of Kayner's Catskill Plants 

 Are From Virus-Free Stock. This assures you of dependable 

 production of this wonderful variety. 



Berries of Catskill have that Extra-Large Size That 

 Brings The High Profits paid for premium berries. AVhen or- 

 dinary strawberries bring 40 cents a quart wise customers 

 will gladly pay 60 cents for Catskill. The berries are bright 

 red and have a uniform red flesh. They are slightly acid and 

 of good quality. In northern states the fruit is sufficiently 

 firm for commercial shipment. Because of its unusual yield 

 (10,000 to 12,000 quarts per acre) Catskill Is A Favorite 

 With Both Commercial And Home Garden Growers. It is the 

 most popular midseason variety in most of New York, Penn- 

 slyvania and several other northern states. It will do well 

 in higher elevations of Maryland and West Virginia. 

 Rayner's have a good stock of strong, vigorous plants of Catskill grown under strict state 

 and federal supervision.

 — picked well over 300 qts. from them, they just sold themselves",

"We bought 1,000 Catskill plants from you last spring and such a 

 berry patcii we never had before. It's a picture of a berry patch. We

MASSEY 



For the coastal area of North Carolina, Vir- 

 ginia and Maryland Massey Is A Great Varie- 

 ty. It produces very large fruit of firm texture 

 and high quality. The bright yellow seeds 

 make Massey an especially attractive berry. 

 Rayner's stock of virus-free plants provides 

 the vigor that makes Massey a fine commercial 

 berry. 



For growers in the southern Blakemore area 

 who have not tried this variety we suggest a 

 small trial planting. See page 21 for prices.

 Experiment Station and in that state it has 

 proven to be a good commercial berry. The 

 berries are similar to Blakemore in shape but

 make a good frozen product.

 you of good plant beds. See page 21 for prices.
