Missionary (Per). — The grand early 

 variety still continues to be the leader in the 

 Southern States as the leading commercial 

 variety. And needs no description for our 

 Southern friends. 



While we have several new and promising 

 varieties that we are introducing to our South- 

 ern friends this season we feel that it will be 

 a long time before the growing of the Mis- 

 sionary is altogether discontinued. The Mis- 

 sionary is especially adapted for hill culture 

 when grown in this way is large, firm, good 

 quality and productive. It has proven for the 

 South what the Dunlap has proven for the 

 North, being a variety easy to grow and 

 adapted to nearly all soils. 



We have always been proud of the fact that 

 we had the honor to introduce this grand, old 

 variety to our Florida friends, and will add 

 that it has been the cause of making us thou- 

 sands of satisfied customers in that State. 

 We grow each season from 20 to 30 acres of 

 this variety alone and seldom have enough 

 plants to furnish our customers. 



This season we estimate our crop of Mis- 

 sionary at 7,000,000 plants, and the way that 

 we are booking orders at this date, Septem- 

 ber 15th, we doubt that we will have very 

 many plants left. We are able to offer this 

 season the best quality ?kIissionary plants that 

 we have ever grown. Our entire stock being 

 grown on new land where strawberries never 

 were grown before. And many acres are 

 growing among the stumps in land that was 

 cleared from brush the past winter. We guar- 

 antee you that every plant is pure ^Missionary, 

 with the highest fruiting quality and that they 

 are more productive than plants that are

grown by any other grower in the world. Our 

 strain of Missionary having been selected from 

 year to year for the past ten years. No un- 

 fruitful plants are allowed to be set in our 

 propagating beds. Every plant must be fruit- 

 ful or it is thrown out. No other concern 

 can boast this fact and tell the truth. 



Owing to our favorable growing season we 

 are able to offer our Missionary plants at a 

 lower price than formerly and trust that our 

 mony Southern friends will appreciate the 

 favor by letting us have their orders as early 

 as possible. We ask each and every one of 

 our customers who receive our catalog regu- 

 lar to kindly set down and write us just as 

 soon as they receive this book and tell us how 

 many plants they will need. Their order will 

 be noted and plants held for them. This will 

 give us an idea whether we will need to do 

 any further advertising in order to sell our 

 stock, and probably save us money and assure 

 you of getting the plants that you will need. 

 We are constantly working for your interest, 

 and we hope that you will do this much for us. 

 Remember, that our plants are all on high, 

 new land this season and can be shipped any 

 time this winter that the ground is not frozen.
