Rayner's Plastic Mulch System 



For home garden production of straw- 

 berries Rayner's Plastic Mulch System 

 has many wonderful advantages. Delicious 

 ripe strawberries can be produced in less 

 than 60 days after planting. The weed 

 problem is almost eliminated and berry rot 

 and dirty berries are greatly reduced. All 

 of this is possible at very little extra ex- 

 pense or labor. 



■ The land is prepared early in the spring 

 by adding manure or other organic matter 

 plus complete fertilizer. In about a week 

 (ir two the plants are set 12 inches apart 

 in rows 12 inches apart. Rayner"s black 

 Visqueen plastic is stretched over the row 

 and a slit is made above each plant. The 

 leaves are ptilled throtigh and the plastic 

 is fastened down. Blossoms are not re- 

 moved and will produce delicious ripe ber- 

 ries. All rtmners that develop are cut off 

 near the plant. Water is retained by a 

 heavy mulch of sawdust or peat moss be- 

 tween the beds and a dam of earth around 

 the planting. The plants are watered oc- 

 casionally with liquid fertilizer which is 

 poured in the slits in the plastic. The 

 plastic is left in place for the entire life 

 of the planting. The tirst crop of berries 

 is not unusually large, but the second season each plant will produce up to a quart of the finest, big- 

 gest berries you have ever seen. For more complete information write for Rayner's Plastic Mulch 

 System of Prodticing Strawberries." Rayner's Visqueen is also ideal for many vegetable and ornamen- 

 tal plants, producing bigger and better crops.

Jacque Kayner Picking Berries 47 Days After Planting 



Ravenna, Ohio June 24. 1958 



Enclosed is a newspaper article concerning 

 our strawberries grown by the Rayner plastic 

 mulch system. We were the first in this area to 

 have berries this spring. Our 100 plants were 

 planted April 15, and we have already picked 

 10 to 12 quarts. The berries are so nice and 

 large, too. 3Irs. Donald H. Brugmann

We want to tell you that our "Rayner Berry 

 Patch" produced the most delicious berries ever 

 seen or tasted in these parts. Our Catskill.

ries.

Rayner's Plastic Bird Netting 



In some locations birds cause seri- 

 ous damage to strawberries, blue- 

 berries, raspberries, and other crops. 

 Many methods of controlling birds 

 have been tried, but none are depen- 

 dable. However, Rayner's Plastic 

 Bird Netting will positively prevent 

 bird damage. It consists of a long- 

 lasting, light-weight plastic netting. 

 The mesh is about \i inch in di- 

 ameter and will thus keep out all 

 birds. For strawberries it is placed 

 directly on the vines and a few pegs 

 or pieces of stone are placed along 

 the edges at the ground. Rayner's 

 Bird Netting is so light in weight 

 that the plants support it easily and 

 the open mesh prevents the "wind 

 from disturbing it. For blueberries 

 and other upright plants a center 

 stick or a simple framework can be 

 constructed to support the fabric. 



For home gardens Rayner's Bird 

 Netting is the only practical answer 

 to bird control. It will protect vour 

 crops for many years and quicklv 

 repay you for the reasonable cost.
