Rayner Brothers was one of the first nurseries in the United 

 States to introduce TEMPLE. In a relatively short time it has 

 become a sales leader and growers from Virginia to Maine are 

 calling it the best all around strawberry. 



TEMPLE productiveness ranks well up with Premier and it 

 rates better than Premier in flavor and firmness. The vigor of 

 TEMPLE has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Plants have a 

 healthy, robust appearance and just grow, grow and grow while 

 supporting tremendous runner growth. 



TEMPLE has what you want in an early strawberry — quality 

 production of beautiful berries that will SELL THEMSELVES— 

 a long fruiting season and excellent frost resistance. 



Wide Soil Range — Does well in moist, poorly drained soil and is also 

 successful in higher, upland soils. Excellent frost resistance. 



Space Wide In Row — Free bedding habit of TEMPLE suggests spac- 

 ing wide in row, a minimum of 18 inches and up to 30 inches. Planting 

 too close may cause such dense beds that berry size, yield and quality 

 may be affected. 



Use Fertilizer Sparingly — The best practice is an early fall fertilizing 

 with little or no fertilizing in the spring. Heavy spring applications maj' 

 cause too dense foliage growth.
