T HE New Blakemore, although introduced scarcely ten years ago, has been fruited 
in practically every state in the Union, and its success has been so phenomenal 
that m many districts it is rapidly displacing its parents, the Premier and Mis¬ 
sionary. As a plant maker, a shipping berry, and a prolific yielder, it has not been 
bettered, and added to these admirable qualities is the fact that it will grow and 
yield a fair crop under conditions not favorable to berry culture. Where other 
varieties of early strawberries will grow and yield, we firmly believe that the Blake¬ 
more will grow better, yield more, and be of better quality than the other variety. 
We have fruited this berry for several years and we are so pleased with it, and we 
are so confident that our customers will be pleased with it, that ten million of 
the fifty million plants we have 
for sale this year are of this 
variety. 
The Blakemore is a tart berry of 
the Missionary type. Its foliage is 
dense and it is more resistant to 
disease than either the Premier or 
Missionary. It grows well during 
the short days of winter and spring, 
and although it is an early bloomer, 
it has never been winter injured 
here. Last season when the Klon¬ 
dike yield was cut short by fully 
fifty per cent the Blakemore pro¬ 
duced a full crop. 
This berry is slightly blunted at 
the point, conic-shaped, with broad 
shoulders and slim neck. Its bright 
green cap curls upward when the 
fruit ripens, making it easy to pick 
and hull. 
The Blakemore is firmer than 
either of its parents. It will not puff and become soft during hot, 
moist weather. It will not bleed unless given unnecessary abuse, 
and unlike many other early berries, it retains its bright red color 
long after picking. This fact coupled with its earliness gives it 
a great advantage in the wholesale markets. 
With us the Blakemore fruits two or three days ahead of the 
Premier and about a week before the Missionary. For a good 
early shipping berry which is adapted to a wide range of condi¬ 
tions, and one which yields an enormous harvest, we recommend 
the Blakemore. Better Blakemore plants cannot be had than 
WALLER’S quality plants.
