Home - Grown Strawberries 



the Best 



HOME-GROWN Strawberries seem to surpass 

 the berries obtained in the markets in appear- 

 ance, flavor and. aroma. The primary require- 

 ment of a commercial berry is its abiUty to withstand 

 shipping conditions without losing its appearance of 

 freshness. The market berry must be very attractive 

 in appearance, large in size, symmetrical in form, for 

 after all most buyers depend upon appearance for 

 selection. For home consumption flavor takes first 

 importance, as firmness and appearance are not as 

 necessary factors. 



Throughout the catalog we have tried to describe 

 accurately each berry listed, and in mentioning its 

 qualities have recommended it for the purpose for 

 which it is best adapted. Very often a Strawberry 

 possesses all of the qualities which make it fine for 

 the market or home consumption and these varieties, 

 of course, are of exceptional value. 



Care in Packing 



You will find that the Pot-grown plants come to 

 you ready to take hold promptly, to grow and 

 bloom, and to give you complete satisfaction in 

 every way. A great deal of our success in handling 

 Strawberry plants is due to our careful packing 

 methods. Upon receipt of your order the selected 

 varieties are gathered, taken out of the pots they are 

 grown in, and each moist and intact root ball is care- 

 fully wrapped in paper. They are boxed, each va- 

 riety being packed separately and carefully labeled. 

 Plants packed and shipped with such care are able 

 to withstand long distance shipping, arriving in ex- 

 cellent condition. We have many hundreds of 

 pleased customers in the far West, North and South, 

 as well as nearby points, and you should not hesitate 

 to order, even though you are at a considerable dis- 

 tance. 



Shipments are made from our branch nursery at 

 Southampton, L. I., where soil and climatic con- 

 ditions are ideal for the production of this class of 

 stock.
