TOPNOTCHERS 
Blakemore 
Early. 
Blakemore is a free plant 
maker and produces a 
heavy fruiting row on any 
kind of soil. The foliage 
is tall and heavy and pro- 
tects the blooms from late spring freezes. The berries are 
utiful, glossy, bright red to the core. It has a tough 
skin, firm flesh and a wonderful mild and juicy flavor. 
An excellent canner and one of the few varieties that 
keeps its color after preserving. 
We have fruited them for the past four years and 
find they ripen a few days earlier than Premier, 
keeping their fancy appearance to the last pick' 
ing and yielding at the rate of 400 16-quart crates 
to the acre. For test purposes we have left part 
of a row unpicked for a week in very hot 
weather and found that very few berries were 
over-ripe or unfit for shipment at the end of the 
week. This shows the firmness of this variety 
and is of particular interest to the commercial 
grower who often finds weather conditions 
which pevent regular picking of berries.

A PERFECT 
STAND 
Wis. 
You will be glad to know that 
the 7,000 Strawberry plants, and 
the 1,000 Raspberries, arrived in 
excellent shape. You would be 
pleased to look over our fields now 
and see the splendid stand. Not 
more than 100 of the Strawberry 
plants failed to grow, so you see we 
are well pleased.

The latest of the spring-bearing Strawber¬ 
ries. It is practically frost-proof, as it has a 
heavy foliage that protects the blossoms 
from the cold. The berries are dark red to 
the heart, the skin rather tough, which 
makes it a good shipper, and the prominent yellow seeds give it a pleasing 
appearance. Supply your market with fancy berries and get top prices when all 
other varieties are gone. 
Be sure to include some of 
these in your order—the 
Strawberry family is not 
complete without this va¬ 
riety. Prolong your season 
and make more profit. For 
prices, see page 31. 
BEST PLANTS I EVER 
RECEIVED, SAYS 
M. G. CARTIER 
My Strawberry plants ar¬ 
rived today and I am very 
much pleased with them. 
They are the best plants I 
ever received from 
any nursery and I 
was b orn and 
brought up in the 
Strawberry busi¬ 
ness, having had as 
many as 10 acres at 
a time. I wish to 
thank you for the 
best service also.

Big Joe Crampton 
Midseason to late. the earlier varieties 
show a decline in 
size and productiveness. One of Chicago’s leading hotels sends their 
buyer to our locality every year and they choose Big Joe for their daily 
supply. The color is medium red, very glossy and has a really fancy 
appearance. The first berries come in a double shape. The stems grow 
high and keep the fruit off the ground. It is a good plant maker. If you 
are looking for a productive medium late variety, plant Big Joe. For 
prices, see page 31. 
The Blakemore is without doubt the most 
fancy appearing berry ever introduced. In 
southern states many growers are now using 
Blakemore to the exclusion of all other varieties. 
After fruiting this variety in 1930 we realized that we 
had one of the most valuable varieties of the whole Straw¬ 
berry family and we prepared at once for a larger acreage.
