A GREAT s^ SHIPPING Far Ahead of All Others Blakemore has taken the lead in total acreage grown over all other varieties. It takes a good man—or berry—to climb to the top—and a better one to stay there. BLAKEMORE HAS REACHED THE TOP AND IS STAYING THERE. More than twice as many acres are planted to Blakemore as to any other one kind. In fact with hundreds of varieties grown, 25% of all commercial strawberry acreage is Blakemore. 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. With few exceptions it is not recommended farther North. ''Happy picking" It will stand more abuse in growing, picking and shipping than with any variety we know and still make money for the grower. Blakemore It is a strong, vigorous grower which makes a good fruiting bed under almost any conditions. Its berries are very firm, ripen evenly all over and have a bright attractive color which they retain even after they get quite ripe. It is a favorite with commercial canners and packers. At times i they will take no other variety. The fact that the berries axe quite i tart as well as firxh may partly explain this. As fresh fruit they must 1 have sugar added to be good. Its berries are mediunx to large in size when beds are not too thick. Some thinning usually must be done to avoid the small berries which thick beds and dry weather tend to make. YELLOWS RESISTANT PLANTS Due to the nature of the yellows trouble it is not possible to promise yellows FREE plants. We can say, however, that the field from which our plants were grown did not show any yellowing and we have the finest stock we have ever had. _ Southern Growers—Plant Blakemore for productiveness and profit.
