Is Good News for Our Friends 



QUALITY BETTER - - - - PRICES LOWER 



FIRST we are able to offer you one of the finest quality crops of plants we have 

 ever grown. And at a big saving in prices. 

 We are able to do this, notwithstanding the fact that the crop of Strawberry 

 Plants, taking the country over, is the shortest for years. We feel 

 reasonably sure that most plant growers will advance their prices. 



WHY WE CAN SELL CHEAPER. We planted double our 1929 

 acreage. The growing season has been fair for us. We have grown 

 just enough plants per acre to make quality plants. 



And our Labor expenses under our improved growing methods 

 has actually reduced the cost of growing. 



Being able to hold our prices down at a time like this is sure to 

 almost double our sales this season., and for this reason we would 

 ask all our old friends and customers to get their orders in just as 

 early as possible after receiving this book. There will be no cash 

 discount for early orders this season. But for every order received 

 during January inclosing cash in full with order we will allow you 

 to select 10% in FREE Plants. 



All February orders may select 5% in FREE Plants.
