BLAKE MORE EARLY SOLID PRODUCTIVE A GREAT SHIPPING RRY. Grown on more acres of fcmcf than any other variety of Strawberries on Earth! 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.
