Good News 



"JACK" 

 H. J. W. RAYNER 



In sending you our 1941 Berry Book, we are glad of 

 n Rf% JEft tne good news we have for you. First, no increase in 



prices. In this time of climbing costs we are sure this 

 IP* will make you smile. You may wonder how we do it. 



#>, *—fc~*- Frankly, you have made this possible. With the large 



mi 1 JKm acreage we must now devote to fruit plants to supply our 



^^^^P^H^^r customers we are able to take advantage of the savings 



^ -JBt^^ * na * are PO ssi ble in mass production. By using tractors 



and other modern equipment and even some specially 

 designed tools, plus quantity buying of plant foods and 

 all other supplies, it is possible to reduce production costs drastically. These sav- 

 ings we are passing on directly to you, in appreciation of your patronage. 



Next are four new and finer varieties. They are all so good they will sure- 

 ly mean better prices and bigger profits. Descriptions and the sections where 

 each does best are on pages 12 and 13. Be sure to include those adapted to your 

 locality in your planting this year. We are sure you will thank us for the sugges- 

 tion, at your first picking. 



Third, our plants this year are as fine as we have ever grown, we know 

 they will give you excellent results. It is possible for us to produce such fine 

 plants economically, by following the most efficient cultural practice, supplying the 

 soil in which they are grown with an abundance of humus, a n d b y keeping 

 them growing strong and vigorously with the application of the proper plant 

 foods. This sums up to better plants at truly a lower cost. Our plants are full 

 of vitality, will make a quick growth, starting you off to a successful berry field. 



To the commercial grower and to anyone who has berries to sell, the pros- 

 pect of a strong demand at better prices is certainly good news. The big job of 

 National Defense and the resulting increase in work and payrolls will surely re- 

 sult in bigger profits for berry growers. Plant now so ,-— 

 that you will be able to take advantage of these better 

 prices and at the same time help to keep the nation sup- 

 plied with fresh fruit. It is agreed by the authorities that 

 an adequate food supply is a prime essential to national 

 defense. 



We wish to thank you for your confidence and pa- 

 tronage and you may be assured we will always serve 

 you faithfully and well. Those things that contribute 

 to your success and satisfaction are always our first con- 

 sideration. With the excellent values we have to offer, 

 in better plants and service at lower cost, we ask that we 

 may serve you in 1941.
