BLAKEMORE 
Every year since Blakemore was introduced by 
the U. S. Department of Agriculture, commercial 
growers have demanded that we supply them with 
MICHIGAN-GROWN Blakemore plants. In spite 
of all the new varieties that have appeared since 
Blakemore, this demand is greater this year than 
ever before. Many prominent growers and Fruit 
Growers Associations reserved millions of these 
plants last fall, to take care of their plantings 
this spring. These facts prove two things: 
Blakemore Has Succeeded 
This is due to the fact that Blake¬ 
more makes plenty of plants and the 
foliage is healthy and holds up all sum¬ 
mer, even through severe drought. Some 
weather prophet has warned us to look 
for dry weather for four more years. 
Well, at any rate it might be sensible 
to play safe and plant varieties which 
have PROVEN THEMSELVES able to set 
a heavy crop and mature it against all 
odds. Blakemore yields as much fruit 
as Premier. The berries are not quite as 
large, but mature to a pretty pointed 
shape and bright color. 
Remarkable Quality 
The flesh and skin of these berries is extra firm. This 
puts them in great demand for commercial canning and 
preserving. Fruit retains its extra bright color after being 
canned, and does not "shrink" out of shape. The high- 
spirited, tart flavor adds to their canning value. Even dur¬ 
ing excessively rainy weather, Blakemore berries can be 
picked and sold, when other varieties "go soft." When 
weather is favorable and soil is rich, we suggest keeping 
Blakemore thinned, to secure larger berries. It's a long¬ 
distance shipper that cannot be surpassed.

Everyone has their favorite Strawberries—especially if they have been growing ber¬ 
ries for some years. Often this favoritism is governed by a particular kind- of soil or 
location. We keep a good supply of all dependable commercial sorts of plants at 
your disposal.
