Mr. Stokes, of Westminster, California, gathered 600, thirty-basket, crates per 
acre from this field of Klondyke strawberries growing between walnut trees, sea¬ 
son of 1932. If they only averaged five cents per basket it would mean $900.00 
per acre gross income. 
Klondyke —This strawberry is planted 
more extensively in Southern California 
than any other for local and shipping 
market, as it is the earliest and most 
profitable sort. Last spring we sold 
commercial growers in this district 
alone, five hundred thousand Klondyke 
plants and you should see these fields 
now. 
Klondy.ke produces two crops per sea¬ 
son here. The first crop during March 
and April, then some time in May there 
is a period of about two weeks when 
there are very few berries. During this 
time growers are getting the last few 
berries of the first crop and the earliest 
scattering berries of the second crop so 
that picking does not stop altogether, 
but after about two weeks of short pick¬ 
ings in May, this berry comes back with 
another big crop which lasts through 
June and until about the middle of July. 
It is a vigorous grower and good plant 
maker. The fruit is highly flavored and 
the color very bright red. It is one of 
the very best varieties for preserving 
and for jam. Without exception it is 
the most handsome berry on our local 
markets. 
We recommend it above all other 
strawberries for commercial planting 
and for shippers. Our new land, eastern- 
grown plants, produce thrifty, large hills 
with tall tops that produce heavy yields 
of well-colored berries. Note picture,

Carolina. This variety has been grown 
in California only a comparatively few 
years, but is becoming quite popular, 
especially on our lighter, sandier soils, 
and in Southern California probably 
ranks next after Klondyke as a commer¬ 
cial berry. It is a heavy bearer and a 
good shipper. The fruit is not quite as 
bright and attractive looking as Klon¬ 
dyke, but the quality is just as good. 
This berry is known in the east as Mis¬ 
sionary and on the Los Angeles market 
as Mission Berries. It is the same berry 
under different names. It thrives in a 
matted row if given plenty of water and 
fertilizer 
Prices same as Klondyke.

Blakemore. This wonderful new va¬ 
riety was originated and developed by 
the Department of Agriculture. It was 
released two years ago with the highest 
recommendations ever given a new 
strawberry by the Department. This is 
the second season that plants have been 
available for general planting. 
The National Preservers Association 
has made a test of this variety and pro¬ 
nounces it the finest strawberry ever de¬ 
veloped for canning and preserving. 
Firmer and sweeter than the Klondyke 
and red clear through, it holds its color 
and shape, when cooked, better than 
other varieties. 
In all the trial plantings it has proved 
a vigorous grower, an abundant plant 
maker, a good yielder, a.nd a very large 
percentage of the fruit runs to the 
large sizes. Our Oregon grower, in dis¬ 
cussing the different varieties he is 
growing for us, says: “The Blakemores 
are the most prolific of all; produce a 
berry of wonderful quality and well fla¬ 
vored.” So far as we have been able to 
learn every grower who fruited Blake¬ 
more last season was well pleased with 
the quality of the fruit and with the 
production. At any rate it is so 
very promising that we advise every
