WM. BELT 



LATE VARIETY 



A ?cwrt£k WITH 

 MARKET GARDENERS 



FOR more than twenty- 

 five years Wm. Belt has 

 been a huge favorite with grower 

 and consumer alike. Grown largely 

 in New York and Pennsyl- 

 vania, it is noted for its large 

 size, good eating qualities and 

 fine appearance. On even 

 ordinary soils, Wm. Belt is -^^^ 

 very productive, its fruits be- 

 ing famous for fine flavor. 

 Experience has shown that 

 Wm. Belt is subject to rust on 

 low, springy soils — but, that 

 very satisfactory results can 

 be obtained from upland type 

 or heavy clay soils. We have 

 only a limited supply of Wm. 

 Belt, so we suggest that you 

 place your order early, advis- 

 ing us to ship at your proper 

 planting time.

• Let US HELP YOU START RIGHT ! 



STRAWBERRIES are one of the first 

 fruit crops harvested in the spring, 

 fruiting at a time when ready cash is 

 welcomed to carry on other farm programs. With 

 our Select Strain Plants and New Improved Va- 

 rieties appearing on the market, making possible 

 larger yields of better quality fruit and a greater de- 

 mand, the strawberry growers of today are in even 

 better position than ever before to make a good profit. 

 Considering the small Investment involved; it is 

 difficult to find a more lucrative profession (from 

 the standpoint of both pleasure and profit) than 

 growing strawberries. Every year we receive thou- 

 sands of letters from growers in all sections of the 

 country echoing these thoughts. If you are not grow- 

 ing strawberries, plan this year to put out a small 

 patch. As many as you can properly cultivate and 

 harvest. We feel sure you will be pleased with the 

 results obtained. If you desire any particular in- 

 formation on strawberry culture, do not hesitate to 

 write us. We will be only too glad to be of service. 

 Our Complete Culture Guide on growing strawberries 

 will also be sent free on request. 



Hampshire Co., Mass. 

 DEAR SIRS: 



I have found your 

 plants to be as 

 hardy as any plants 

 purchased in the 

 North. I have never 

 lost many plants 

 bought of you. and 

 those only from dry 

 weather. I shall 

 look no further 

 than your firm for 

 my source of sup- 

 ply, as they al- 

 ways give me good 

 yields and my cus- 

 tomers tell me that 

 my berries were the 

 nicest and best 

 flavored of any 

 they bought last 

 year.
