The New BLAKEMORE 
The United States Department of 
Agriculture Recommends It 
This wonderful new creation called the 
BLAKEMORE (U.S.D.A. No. 659), was origi¬ 
nated from a cross of the Missionary and the 
Premier in the year 1923 by the United States 
Department of Agriculture. It was named in 
honor of Marcus Blakemore, President of the 
National Preservers Association. The berries 
are much firmer than the Premier, Mission¬ 
ary or the Klondike. The BLAKEMORE 
are slightly blunted conic with broad shoul¬ 
ders and slim neck. The shape of the Blake¬ 
more might vary some in different localities. 
Easy picking and hulling qualities. The berries 
are a beautiful bright glossy red color, with tough 
skin, firm flesh, with a wonderful mild flavor. 
Plants make runners freely, and you are sure of 
getting a good fruiting row. They should be set about 
24 in. apart. If set closer than that they will get too 
thick. It has been tried out and found to be one week 
earlier than Premier. It is a wonderful market berry. 
Why wouldn’t it be? Think of it—one week earlier 
than Premier. The U. S. Department of Agriculture 
recommends it, and you should try it out in your state. 
There is a fortune to be made for those that buy Blake¬ 
more now. Uncle Sam would not recommend it if it 
was not good.

CHAMPION, Everbearer 
Champion, without doubt, is one of the best everbearing Straw¬ 
berries grown. It is the most prolific of all. When you plant Cham¬ 
pion you are certain of success because three months after planting 
every plant will commence bearing, and continue all through the 
summer and late in the fall. The runners will commence to bear, 
even before they have taken root. 
We grow several acres every year for fruit, and we know what we 
are talking about. Make sure that you get the genuine Champion. 
Order from us. We obtained our stock direct from the originator 
You do not have to cultivate and care for them a whole year for 
nothing. You begin to harvest the crop three months after you get 
the plants from us. For instance, if you set them out the middle of 
April they will begin to bear bv the middle of July. 
The originator claims U. S. record of 5,623 quarts that sold for 
$2,059.20 per acre first year set.
