THE TINGLE NURSERY CO.. PITTSVILLE, MD. 47 



Strawberry Plants 



The demand .:: strawberry plants last year was not as 

 heavy as it was in 1937. Many growers did not make 

 their usual plantings and is usually the case the demand 

 ::: >lants should be larger than it was last spring. An- 

 =zz cause fc: increased demand this season, is with very 

 fev.- :::es sold for the best prices in 



several years. 



Pittsville secticn is recognized as one of the leading 

 strawberry producing sections in the country. The season's 

 average price paid per 24-quart crate at the auction block 

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

 entire Delmarva Peninsula was $2.76. We all know it 

 takes good plants to produce superior fruit and the poinl 

 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. 



Whether you want only a few plants or a million we be- 

 lieve you will find us fully able to take care of your re- 

 quirements. We will ship the plants to you or direct to 

 your customers under you tags. 



Let us take care of your Strawberry plant orders this 

 season. We have had 31 years growing and packing ex- 

 re ::ence with strawberries. Our strawberry plant business 

 is handled entirely separate from cur other nursery stock. 



These prices are for delivery after about October 20th.

The above prices include packing costs. 

 We sometimes can make lower prices on large lots. 



Since the above prices were made up we have had 2 

 weeks of rainy weather which will undoubtedly cut the 

 quantity of plants that will be available over the Maryland 

 and Delaware strawberry plant area. How much the sup- 

 ply will be reduced we do not know at this time but would 

 suggest you make your reservations as early as possible. 



DESCRIPTION OF STRAWBERRIES 



ABERDEEN. A midseason variety especially recommend- 

 : New Jersey and farther north. 



AROMA. This is one of the old reliable midseason to late 

 sties and extensively planted in many sections. 



BIG JOE. One of the midseason varieties that is very good 

 where conditions suit and not worth much if they don't. 



BLAKEMORE. This is hard to beat as an early berry in 

 many sections. Always sells well and generally produces 

 good crops. Very good the past season. Easy to grow. 



CATSKILL. An introduction of the New York Experiment 

 Station. Highly recommended. The largest and most product- 

 ive of all the midseason varieties. Considered the best midsea- 

 son , variety. You will be safe in pushing Catskill especially 

 for northern growers.
