. Berry 1971 book : Rayner Bros. one THE BEST FOR PRESERVES AND JAMS—WONDERFUL FOR FREEZING Because of its fine qualities when processed or frozen BLAKEMORE once was the most widely planted commercial strawberry. Its sparkling, light-red, firm berries still produce the finest, most attractive preserves you have ever seen. When frozen the berries hold their shape well and have fine color. For a special attraction freeze some whole, with caps attached. Plants of Blakemore are especially vigorous and will grow well in nearly any soil. This early variety is especially suited to moderate climates but should do well in all but the coldest states. If you like strawberry preserves be sure to try Blakemore. 25 Plants $; 50 for $; 100 for $; 1,000 for $ LATE COMMERCIAL VARIETY FOR SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES Tennessee Beauty is recommended as a commercial variety in south-central and east- ern states, where its firmness is a definite advantage. Many growers tell us that it is their best producer. The berries are of medium size and have a l)right, rich red color. The flavor is good, and the slight tartness results in fine quality. For freezing and preserving Tennessee Beauty rates high since it produces a fine bright prod- uct. One feature of this variety that is de- sirable for processing is the ease with which the cap comes off. With its many fine features such as good quality, firmness, beauty, and high production, Tennessee Beauty is defin- itely a good variety for both commercial and home plantings. Although we do not recommend large-scale planting of Tennessee Beauty in the northern states, it is considered a good commercial variety in some sections. 25 Plants $; 50 for $; 100 for $; 1,000 for $ Complete Prices Page 17.
