 BOTH COMMERCIAL PLANT- 

 INGS AND HOME GARDENS. 



SPARKLE 



Rayner's Virus-Free Plants 

 Are Extra Vigorous 



Ori^iiiiall.v iiiuoduced in New .Jcrsoy yi)arklc has W- 

 coiiie a loading; commercial variety throuj^hoiit most of the 

 northeastern and central states. Even as far north as 

 Ontario, Vermont, and Wisconsin it is ^ivinj;' n'(>od results. 

 Si)arkle must be rated as one of the best all-i)nri)ose varie- 

 lies as it is excellent for home j;ardens as well as for com- 

 mercial plantings. Sparkle is noted for its brij;iit, solid 

 led jilossy berries. Ripening late it is one of the very best 

 of nil varieties for freezing;. It is a j;ood producer as shown 

 l»y official tests in several states reportinj^ from 8,500 to 

 10,800 (piarts per acre. In addition to all these fine fea- 

 tures Sparkle is resistant to the red stele disease. A va- 

 riety that appears to be identical to Sparkle is Paymaster. 



The fact that berries of Sparkle are only of medium 

 size is about our only criticism of this variety. We do not 

 recommend large-scale plantings of Sparkle south of West 

 Virginia, but for the northeast it is outstanding.

BLAKEMORE

DROUGHT RESISTANT COMMERCIAL 

 VARIETY FOR SOUTHERN AREA 



In much of the southern United States Blakemore is the lead- 

 ing commercial variety. It is a vigorous grower that will <lo 

 well under warm dry conditions and in a variety of soils. The 

 berries are bright, very tirm and excellent for freezing or any 

 type of processing. They are solid red throughout and make 

 i 'right red preserves or frozen products. Blakemore is detinitely 

 a tart berry but with some sugar it is quite satisfactory for fresii 

 use. lUakemore berries are characterized by a long neck and a 

 small attractive cap (.see photo.). For these reasons IJlakcmore 

 is an important berry for large volume production. It is often 

 used in commercial production of preserves, jams, and similar 

 preparations. Even in the northern states Blakemoiv is grown 

 to some extent for preserving atid freezing. L>erri(>s of r.lakemorc 

 ar(» of small to medium size but it produces high yields.
