BLAKEMORE (Perfect). Early. This va- 

 riety was recently introduced by the U. S. 

 Dept. of Agriculture and is one of the leading 

 varieties that is extensively grown on the 

 Del-Mar- Va Peninsula, as it is an excellent 

 shipping berry. In size, quality and product- 

 iveness it will rank 100%. Blakemore makes 

 more plants than any other variety I have 

 listed. The foliage is vigorous and healthy, 

 standing up well throughout the fruiting sea- 

 son. For large crops of fine berries that 

 bring high prices on the markets plant Blake- 

 more. I have a very large and fine stock of 

 State certified, disease free, 100% true to 

 name Blakemore plants. Order Perdue's 

 Blakemore and get the best quality plants at 

 low prices. Price: 25 plants 25c; 50 for 40c; 

 100 for 60c; 200 for 80c; 300 for 81.00: 400 

 for S1.25; 500 for S1.50; 1000 for S2.50;

 a delivered price on your order if requested.
