Proven Berry Plants i i KNOTT’S BERRY PLACE i i Trees and Vines 
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 — The Klondyke has long 
been a favorite with the commercial 
growers in southern California, because 
of its earliness, fine color, keeping qual¬ 
ities and heavy production. The fruit is 
highly flavored and good quality, but not 
sweet. 
In California under irrigation, Klon¬ 
dyke and other spring bearing varieties 
produce two crops per season, 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 ber¬ 
ries. During this time growers are get¬ 
ting 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 picking 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. 
For the large commercial grower, in 
southern California, who expects to sell 
berries through the wholesale produce 
market we recommend Klondyke. It is 
well known to the buyers and its hand¬ 
some appearance is a big point in its 
favor.

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

Blakemore. This wonderful new va¬ 
riety was originated and developed by 
the Department of Agriculture. 
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 California its second crop lasts later 
in the summer than Klondyke, being 
more like Missionary in this respect. It 
is a great producer of fine quality berries. 
In southern California the commercial 
grower should not make his main plant¬ 
ing of this variety, because the local 
markets are used to Klondyke and will 
pay a premium for the brighter color. 
This preference for the bright colored 
berry is not shown on many of the east¬ 
ern markets. In fact, some eastern mar¬ 
kets pay a, premium for the Blakemore 
color. 
The Blakemore is a good variety for 
the home garden. In many districts of 
the south it is a good commercial variety. 
Try the Blakemore; you will like it!
