Blakemoee, One of the Best Eaely Vaeieties 
General List of Strawberries 
ABERDEEN. (Perfect.) A strong, vigorous grower, 
foliage dark green to bluish in color. Unusually 
free from disease. Under favorable conditions we 
doubt if any variety will produce more berries 
than Aberdeen. Fruit is only of fair quality, being 
somewhat acid, but a little better than the average 
berry in size. Aberdeen ripens in midseason, the 
fruit being light in color which makes up a very 
attractive package. 
AROMA. (Perfect.) Late. One of the best late va¬ 
rieties. Plants are large, very vigorous and 
healthy; fruit is large to very large, roundish of a 
bright glossy red, of excellent quality and one of 
the most productive late varieties. Can always 
be depended on bearing a large crop of first-class 
fruit. Planted in all sections of the country; most 
extensively planted in the Middle West and tropi¬ 
cal sectioqs of the country. 
BIG JOE. (Perfect.) Late. Ripens with Chesapeake 
about three days before Gandy. Fruit is firm and 
of large size, has a good flavor, no green tips, won¬ 
derfully productive; plants are strong growers, 
thrives on any soil that will produce Strawberries. 
We consider this variety equal to Chesapeake as a 
money maker, and in many instances better owing 
to its thriving in so great a variety of soils. If you 
are not growing Joe, plant heavily of them this 
Spring. You will not be disappointed with the 
results. 
BIGCLATE. (Perfect .) Late. Vigorous grower, 
very productive. Fine quality. Berries very large, 
rich in color and a handsome bright green cap in¬ 
creases the beauty and selling price of the berries, 
which are very, very firm and will carry to market 
in excellent condition. Produces great quantities 
of berries which average large in size throughout 
the growing season. Extensively planted in a 
commercial way. 
BLAKEMORE. (Perfect.) A recent introduction 
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. It is a 
cross between Missionary and Premier. Blake- 
more makes a vigorous healthy foliage which 
stands up well throughout the fruiting season. 
Berries are very firm, light in color and arrive in 
the market in excellent condition. In productive¬ 
ness Blakemore ranks very high, there being only 
a few varieties slightly more productive. The ber¬ 
ries will hang on the vines several days in good 
condition, especially during dry seasons. Even in 
wet years they stand up better than most others. 
In comparing the fruit of Blakemore with Mis¬ 
sionary, the Blakemore in these tests produced 
more than four times as many U. S. Standard 
No. 1 grade of berries as the Missionary, and 
fewer culls. Taking all these facts into consider¬ 
ation, this variety is sure to take the place of 
Missionary and Klondyke wherever they are 
grown; and while it is true, we think, the variety 
is more adapted to the central and southern sec¬ 
tions of the United States, it is also one worth 
planting in the northern sections, too.
