D Eh ■% Eh Iwl im Em THE best early shipping variety 
THE BLAKEMORE has been fruited in practically 
every state in the Union, and its success has been so 
phenomenal that in many districts it is rapidly dis¬ 
placing* its parents, the Premier and Missionary. As 
a plant maker, a shipping berry, and a prolific yielder, 
it has not been bettered, and added to these admir¬ 
able 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 we recommend it to all straw¬ 
berry growers. 
The Blakemore is a tart berry of the Missionary 
type. 
This berry is slightly blunted at the point, conic¬ 
shaped, with broad shoulders. 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. 
AND NOW THE NEW 
YELLOW-FREE BLAKEMORE 
More than 3,000,000 of these plants were sold last 
season by Waller Brothers. Not a yellow plant in 
3,000,000. We are proud of this record. Blakemore 
has proven to be one of the best varieties grown. It 
had only one fault, and this has been removed by the 
Yellow Free Strain. You need not have any worry 
losing your plants due to yellow. They have been 
free for the past 8 years, and during this time we 
have scattered them from coast to coast, as you will 
notice from testimonials we have printed. Be care¬ 
ful where you buy your Yellow Free Blakemore and 
make sure you get the genuine. If we knew of a 
better berry, we would have it. We believe this 
variety will be more extensively grown for the next 
two or three years than any other variety of straw¬ 
berries. This is saying a whole lot, yet we believe it 
true. Plant Yellow Free Blakemore and you have the 
best strawberry in the world.
