 500 plants ircm you and upon arrival they looked as though they 

 were dug and shipped the same day I received them. I don't

Ste. Genevieve Co., Mo., Jan. 27. 1953. "T am sending 

 you another order. Last spring I ordered some berry plants from 

 you. They were the best and biggest plants I have ever seen. 

 I always thought the notes in the catalog were the bunk, but 

 now I know they are not because I am writing one myself. The 

 plants I received were packed the way they should be packed. 

 The leaves cut so they could get air. After setting out they all 

 lived and made the best rows I ever had. They grew so fast the 

 weeds did not have a chance. Before I bought plants from you 

 I did not know what a good straw^berry plant should be."
