TENNESSEE SHIPPER The firmest berries we have ever seen Tennessee Shipper is a Missionary x Blakemore cross, introduced in 1941 by the Tennessee Experiment Station. It is a very vigorous grower, making larger, stronger individual plants than Blakemore but usually not quite as many. This year Tennessee Shipper has again been mar- velous both in number of plants made and vigor of plant growth. The plants are very productive.

TENNESSEE SHIPPER The firmest berries we have ever seen Tennessee Shipper is a Missionary x Blakemore cross, introduced in 1941 by the Tennessee Experiment Station. It is a very vigorous grower, making larger, stronger individual plants than Blakemore but usually not quite as many. This year Tennessee Shipper has again been mar- velous both in number of plants made and vigor of plant growth. The plants are very productive. The berries ripen early, about with Blakemore, and are the firmest of any variety we know. They are so firm that picking may be neglected for several days at a time and still be picked and shipped to market with practically no loss. This is important in these days of labor shortage. Tennessee Shipper berries are excellent for freezing. They are rather tart in quality and in dry seasons tend to run down in size, except on very springy land. All our Tennessee Shipper plants again this year were grown from virus free sources which may account for the outstanding vigor men- tioned above. Tennessee Shipper is pri- marily a southern shipping berry. Price list cage 32. DORSETT -7KLONMORE Shipping Berry for the High Quality Deep South. Klonmore is a cross of Klondyke x Blakemore. In vigor of plant growth it equals either of its free growing parents. In productiveness Klonmore is better than Klondyke, probably nearly equal to Blakemore. Klonmore berries are about equal in size to either Blakemore or Klondyke but are far better in quality that either of them. In fact Klon- more is the only high quality long distance shipping berry that the south has ever had. Klonmore territory is more limited, being grown successfully in coastal areas of the gulf states and the Atlantic Coast states and as far north as South Carolina. We have this year a very fine stock of virus free Klonmore plants. Pr
