Blakemore is the best early shipping berry the Southern States have ever 
had. It does well as far north as Maryland, Southern New Jersey and the Ohio 
Valley. It is not recommended farther north. The remarkable popularity of 
Blakemore in these Southern and lower Middle States is based on performance 
alone. It has revived the industry in many areas. Here are some of the reasons: 
Blakemore is a strong, vigorous grower which makes a good fruiting bed 
under almost any conditions. 
Blakemore will stand more abuse and neglect in growing, picking and 
shipping than any other variety ever known and still make money for the grower. 
Berries are very firm—ideal for long distance 
shipping. 
Berries ripen uniformly all over and have a 
bright attractive color which they retain even after 
they get quite ripe. 
Blakemore berries are most popular with com- 
mercial canners and packers. At times they will 
take no other variety. The fact that the berries are 
quite tart as well as firm may partly explain this. 
As fresh fruit they must have sugar added to be 
good. 
Blakemore berries are medium to large in size 
when beds are not too thick. Some thinning of 
plants helps eliminate the small berries which very 
thick beds and dry weather tend to produce. 
Yellows resistant plants.—Our stock of Blake- 
more this year is not extra large, but it is your best 
bet for steering clear of the yellowing which is 
common to most Blakemore. Due to the nature of 
this yellowing, it is not possible to promise yellows- 
free plants. We can say, however, that the field 
from which our stock plants were set did not show 
any yellowing, nor does the field show below which 
we are offering our plant customers this spring. 
When in doubt, plant Blakemore—ALLEN’S Blakemore. 
Southern growers cannot go wrong with this variety or this stock. Price list, page 35.
