Strawberry Plants 
The demand for 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 
for plants should be larger than it was last spring. An- 
other cause for increased demand this season, is with very 
few exceptions Strawberries sold for the best prices in 
several years. 
Pittsville section 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 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. 
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- 
perience with strawberries. Our strawberry plant business 
is handled entirely separate from our other nursery stock. 
These prices are for delivery Spring of 1939.

The above prices include packing costs. 
We sometimes can make lower prices on large lots. 
It is estimated that there is only 50 percent to 60 percent 
of a normal crop of strawberry plants in the Maryland and 
Delaware strawberry plant area. If the demand is as 
heavy this spring as it was last, there will probably be a 
shortage and our suggestion is that you make your reserva- 
tion as early as possible. 
DESCRIPTION OF STRAWBERRIES 
ABERDEEN. A midseason variety especially recommend- 
ed for New Jersey and farther north. 
AROMA. This is one of the old reliable midseason to late 
varieties 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.
