Please send no orders for less than 25 of a kind of Strawberry other than Rockhill. Blakemore Tbe Reddest Strawberry Not only is this an excellent berry because of its earliness, quality, and productivity, but the beautiful bright red color does not change after the berries are picked or after they are made into jam. The large, firm, full-flavored berries keep and ship extremely well. 2495-25 for $1.00, 100 for $3.00, 1000 for $20.00. Donner One of the best of the new hybrids recently developed by University of California research and one of the best for growing in Southern California. You will find the large, bright, glossy, red berries to be of topnotch dessert quality with a superb flavor. Bears early, ripens evenly, and keeps well. An excellent all-around strawberry for home or market use. 2501—25 for $1.50, 100 for $4.50, 1000 for $32.50. Gem Everbearing One of the everbearing varieties, with big fine-looking berries of excellent quality. Gem keeps bearing month after month and will give you berries when you can't find them on any other kind. It bears especially well in the fall, after all the spring kinds are finished and is a profitable com- mercial kind as well as being a good home berry. 2510—25 for $1.50, 100 for $4.50, 1000 for $32.50. Rockhill No. 24 Unquestionably this is the best of the ever- bearing types and when you have tasted one of these huge, bright red, honey-sweet berries, you will agree that it is just about the best strawberry you have ever eaten. Rockhill is ideal for the home garden because: 1. It starts bearing early and you can con- tinue to pick fruit until late fall. 2. With Rockhill No. 24 you will almost never find a runner and if you have grown strawberries you know that with ordinary varieties the bed is a mass of runners after the second or third season and production is lessened. The lack of runners makes the plants more expensive, but they are worth it. The best strawberry for growing in jars or barrels. 2515-10 for $2.25, 25 for $4.75, 100 for $15.00. 89 Klondike More widely grown commercially than any other strawberry in Southern California, it has exceptional vigor, clean foliage, and grows well in a wide variety of soils. The color is good, and the flesh and skin are firm, making it a good shipper and keeper. Bears tremendous crops. 2512—25 for $1.00, 100 for $3.00, 1000 for $20.00. Streamliner If you would like to have huge, luscious, bright red strawberries, brimful of Vitamin C every day from late spring until late fall, this new everbearing strawberry will provide them, and you won't wait long because the plants usually fruit the first season. The berries are deliciously flavored, uniform in size and color, and sugar-sweet. 2520-25 for $2.25, 100 for $7.50, 1000 for $50.00. Luscious berries of Rockhill No. 24
