Home-Garden Strawberry Collections 



These plants are selected especially for the home-table use. 

 Good grower and good quality. Order the collection according 

 to size of your family. Better yet, get enough to sell some 

 berries to your neighbors.

SURPLUS PLANTS AT $2.50 PER THOUSAND 



Most every day we dig more of some varieties than we have ord- 

 ers for and rather than throw them away we will make a special 

 price on these plants. If you are not particular about the varie- 

 ties these plants are a bargain. They will be labeled so that you 

 will know what they are and if when ordering you will state your 

 choice, whether early, midseason or late we will endeavor to send 

 you plants ripening in that season, but we cannot promise to give 

 you any particular variety. They will be first class plants in 

 every respect and such as we may have left over at the end of the 

 day's packing. Prices: $2.50 per thousand. Not less than 500 sold 

 at the thousand rate. 



STRAWBERRIES AS A MONEY-CROP 



We know of no crop that is surer of returning a profit to the 

 grower than strawberries. It is true they do not always pay 

 as well as we may wish but if given proper care we believe 

 that year in and year out you cannot find a crop that will 

 pay better. 



We believe the following suggestions, will, if followed help 

 you make a profit in growing strawberries, but if either one is 

 neglected success is not so sure. 



Select a fertile or well manured piece of land and prepare 

 thoroughly. 



Be sure to get good, true-to-name plants of varieties that 

 give large yields of handsome, high ■ uality berries. 



Set the plants as early as you can get the ground ready. 

 This is very important. 



Set the plants carefully, keep them well cultivated and ferti- 

 lized well. 



Remove all blossoms from the standard varieties the year 

 set. Remove them from the everbearing varieties until about 

 the first of July. 



See that your berries are harvested and put up in the most 

 attractive way possible. Good fruit carefully packed most 

 always sells well. It is the inferior fruit that always brings 

 the low prices. 



Ask for our folder giving instructions on grow- 

 ing strawberries commercially. It is sent free. 



PITTSVILLE IS THE HIGH-DOLLAR 

 STRAWBERRY MARKET 



Pittsville section is recognized as one of the leading straw- 

 berry producing sections in the country. The season's aver- 

 age price paid per 24-quart crate at the auction block in 

 Pittsville was $3.07; the season's average price for the en- 

 tire Delmarva Peninsula was $2.76. We all know it takes 

 good plants to produce superior fruit and the point we want 

 to make is that if our plants will produce berries that will sell 

 for so much above the average they should be expected to 

 be good plants to use in establishing a fruiting bed in other 

 sections.
