J. W. JONES & SON, FRANKLIN, VIRGINIA aed 






A good representation of Blakemore. .One of the good Southerners. 
Blakemore This is not popular in all localities, especially in the 
rh more northerly latitudes. However where it does 
well it is the best early shipping berry ever grown. Its area is the southern 
states and as far north as southern New Jersey, WestVirginia, and Kentucky. 
PLANT GROWTH 
It is the rarest thing that it does not make a full bed. In fact in most 
instances it will get too thick. It therefore should not be planted too close. The 
foliage stands up well in the hottest weather. 
. PRODUCTIVITY 
If not allowed to get too thick in the bed and on a fairly heavy soil it 
will bear a big crop, though not as many as Premier. 
APPEARANCE 
There is not a finer looking strawberry than Blakemore, e ven under 
adverse conditions. It is of a beautiful shape, ripens uniformly, and will ship 
to the most distant markets. Grocers like it because will remain fresh looking 
and firm longer than any kind known. 
; | QUALITY 
Blakemore turns red before it is ripe and at that stage is quite tart, but 
if left on the vines until fully ripe it is of good eating quality. It is the most 
popular variety in existence with both canners and freezers. 
YELLOWS 
Our plants are of the yellows resistant strain, put out by the United 
States Dept. of Agriculture, but of course we cannot guarantee that no 
yellows will appear. 




From Mr. Geo. I. Kell in Pennsylvania 
Last year,s plants were very nice and they started off good when set. 
On June 18th we got three inches of hail but the new plants having good 
roots came out again and we are looking for a bumper crop this year.
