Finest Berries Ever Saw 



Alleghany Co.. Ya., April 15, 1940 



Strawberry plants received in good order, have 

 had cold stormy and snowy weather, but plants are 

 all living and growing. I purchased plants from 

 yon before and raised some of the finest berries I 

 ever saw. I produced one berry which measured 

 8% inches in circumference, of course I measured 

 around the largest part of it. I also produced 

 many more almost this large. J. W. Duling. 



Fine Lot of Plants 



Philadelphia Co.. Penna., April 25. 1940 

 I received the strawberry plants on Monday af- 

 ternoon, as the ground was so wet I could not get 

 the rows levelled off until Wednesday, at which 

 time I planted them. They were a fine lot of 

 plants and ought to live. My old patch is coming 

 along fine. I expect some nice berries from this 

 patch. The Fairmore plants look very nice, will 

 take extra care of them, as I want to see what 

 thev will do here. Thanks. Yours truly, 



E. W. Smith
