and time again, and have weeded out until 

 there is not a mixed plant in our fields. So now 

 our friends who want this valuable variety can 

 get the true Genuine Mastodon plants by send- 

 ing their order to us and get them at the right 

 price, and when they are ready to plant, by just 

 sending the order early. We absolutely guaran- 

 tee to refund any money you pay us for Masto- 

 don plants that do not please you. 



PROGRESSIVE (per) Is the first genuine 

 ever-bearing strawberry that convinced the 

 doubters that there was such a thing as straw- 

 berries all the summer and fall. 

 For the South it is still a good dependable 

 variety and will fruit under most severe weather 

 conditions. It is also very valuable for home 

 garden. The fruit is small but good quality. 

 Should be grown in hills. 



WORLDS CHAMPION (per) Worlds 

 champion is an improved Progressive in plant 

 growth it is same, and fruit of same quality 

 and appearance. The size of fruit will average 

 larger and might produce more fruit. 1 would 

 just add that if you can buy Lucky Strike or 

 Mastodon, you will be better pleased. But if 

 you can not possibly buy these then plant some 

 Champion. 



We have made over $1,000 an acre several times 

 from the Worlds Champion. But we expect to 

 more than double this this year from Mastodon. 

 Cost no more to grow Mastodon than Progres- 

 sive, or Champion and your profits will surely 

 be doubled. 



Strawberry Plants Is Our Long Suit 



But so many of our customers want other small 

 fruit plants that we have 

 been growing them for 

 years in a much smaller way 

 thanwedostrawberryplants. 

 We have found that the 

 best Raspberry plants in the 

 country can be grown in the 

 state of Ohio. We have a 

 branch out there and prac- 

 tically all your orders are 

 filled from this branch. 



We can grow the best grape- 

 vines on the Del-Mar-Va, 

 Pens., that we have ever 

 seen and we grow these by 

 the Millions. Blackberry 

 and Dewberry plants we 

 grow to perfection. Also 

 Asparagus roots, flower 

 bulbs, etc. 



Currants and Gooseberry 

 plants we have discon- 



tinued owing to the drastic Federal laws that 

 prohibit their being shipped into various states. 

 Any of our customers can feel perfectly safe in 

 placing any order for small fruit plants in our 

 hands. 



We contribute our success to the fact that we 

 have always given our customers the best plants 

 it was possible to grow. And at a live and let 

 live price. That our location allows us to ship 

 our customer's order at the proper planting time. 

 This fact alone has been worth millions of 

 dollars to our customers. 



Every year we receive thousands of orders from 

 new customers. To those who have received 

 this catalog and have never sent us an order I 

 want to say you will receive just exactly the same 

 kind of plants and the same treatment that all 

 those have received whose testimonials appear 

 on these pages. We have no preference in our 

 dealings. Every one at the first table. And 

 every one served alike.
