Strawberries sold this last season for the highest prices that I have ever ]Lnoyx&JjLaam4*****'* ,e * m 



Other fruits are also selling high with more demand for them at these high prices than 

 usually at much lower prices. The consumer is getting big money for his labor and is used 

 to paying high prices for the goods he buys and can well afford to do so. Last June my late 

 berries averaged a little over 21 cents per quart, right here at our shipping station, for the en- 

 tire crop; my Fall-bearing sorts are now selling for 30 cents per quart wholesale in Baltimore, 

 which is about 26 cents per quart here and I have sold my entire crop of Fall-bearers at this 

 price. There's money in growing strawberries at these prices, even -with the high cost of 

 labor and materials and I would advise you to plant all you can well till and harvest. 



There were not one-half as many berries grown this past season as there were the previ- 

 ous season and I do not believe there will be more than one-half as many next season as there 

 were this. The reports that I get from all over the country say there were but a very few 

 plants set last spring and I know that is so here. Pittsville is one of the largest strawberry 

 shipping stations in the country and there were hardly any new patches set last spring; this 

 being the case all over the country, berries cannot help but sell well for at least the next two 

 years. Considering this I would advise you to set some plants this season if you have the 

 labor to till and harvest them. I do not see how they can possibly sell for less than they did 

 this season and it looks to me that they will even go higher. 



I am asking a little more for some varieties of plants this fall than I did last spring but 

 have not advanced the prices as much as other things have advanced; everything concerned in 

 the growing, digging, packing, etc. of nursery stock has advanced enormously and does not 

 seem to know where to stop. Taking all this into consideration, I am sure you will agree 

 with me that these prices are as reasonable as you could expect them. I have a nice stock of 

 plants for this fall and next spring digging. While most other growers decreased their acre- 

 age last season, I expect to have nearly twice as many plants to dig this fall and spring as I 

 did last. I will certainly appreciate your order and am sure you will be much pleased with 

 the stock I send you. 



All plants are carefully packed with damp moss and delivered at our shipping 

 station at the prices quoted herein. After delivering to the forwarders all articles 

 are entirely at the risk of the purchaser; and if any loss or delay occurs, the for- 

 warders alone must be held responsible.
