FIRMEST OF ALL 



STRAWBERRIES. FINE 



COMMERCIAL VARIETY 



Despite its southern name, Dixieland 

 is becoming of increased importance in 

 northern states where a very firm ber- 

 ry is desired. In the south it is rapid- 

 ly replacing Blakemore because it has 

 all the main characteristics of Blake- 

 more plus large size. Dixieland ripens 

 early and produces very heavy yields 

 of elongate berries, with a prominent 

 neck and relatively small cap. The 

 color is glossy, light red and the inner 

 flesh is a fine bright red. These quali- 

 ties, combined with unusual firmness 

 and tartness, make Dixieland the out- 

 standing new processing variety. 



The foliage is very vigorous and runners are produced freely. Dixieland will grow well in 

 nearly any soil and is a consistent producer of fine crops. For preserves, jams, etc., Dixie- 

 land is excellent, and it gives a good frozen product. However, for fresh eating, it is very 

 tart and does not have the best flavor. If a large firm berry is needed be sure to try some of 

 Rayner's vigorous stock of Dixieland.

MOST PERFECT

ALBRITTON 



VIRUS 

 FREE 



The unusual beauty, size, and fine 

 quality of Albritton make this variety 

 outstanding wherever it can be suc- 

 cessfully grown. However, it appears 

 to be well suited for large scale plant- 

 ing only in Georgia, South Carolina, 

 North Carolina, and parts of Virginia, 

 and Maryland. We know of success- 

 ful plantings in New Jersey and other 

 states, but do not recommend commer- 

 cial plantings north of Virginia. 



Fruit of Albritton are large and f 

 have a smooth, uniform shape and ap- 

 pearance. The color is a bright red. 

 The seeds are bright yellow and the I 

 large, green caps combine to make Al- ' 

 britton one of the most attractive of t 

 all varieties. The fruit ripens late and { 

 is firm and of excellent quality. Al- I 

 l)ritton is a fine variety for both com- 

 mercial and home planting. Rayner's 

 virus-free stock of Albritton has been 

 proven successful by several years of 

 top commercial production. 



100 Plants $3.20; 1000 for $16.00.
