The picture at the right shows a scene in 

 our 1947 berry season. All the quart boxes 

 you see in the picture came from these four 

 rows of Redstar at one picking. A tremen- 

 dous yield at the rate of 2500 quarts per 

 acre on that one day. They were nice ber- 

 ries, too. 



Van Buren Co.. Mich., Feb. 1, 1947 I would like to 

 say two things — my 25 rows — 100 feet long — of Fairfax 

 and Redstar are the best I ever fruited. They are the 

 best in flavor, production and plant making. The 

 second thing I would like to comment on is that in 

 no field have I ever encountered such honest adver- 

 tising as is found between the covers of your catalog. 

 J. F. Turner 



Bradley Co., Tenn., Jan. 8, 1947. Set several varieties 

 last spring. The Redstar plants stood the long dry 

 spell last summer best of' all. I've been growing 

 strawberries about 39 years and I am enthusiastic over 

 the Redstar. I let some of the berries ripen to sde 

 their goodness and they seem to be as fine as Fairfax. 

 Mr. B. Jameson 



Juneau Co., Wise, March 26, 1947. Please send me 

 your strawberry book and price list of strawberry 

 plants. I am going to order 400 or 500 Redstar, if 

 you have them. I got some from you before, and they 

 are a good late berry, when the rest of the June 

 berries are gone. 



Mr. John Blank 



Niagara Co., N. Y., Feb. 25, 1947. My State Agri- 

 culture College advises obtaining dormant plants and 

 holding in cold storage. I would like to obtain 1000 

 plants very early, just as early as you can dig and 

 ship. This probably would be early in March. The 

 more dormant the plants, the less likely they are to 

 heat in transit and the better they will keep in storage. 

 Are you people in a position or could you supply me 

 with plants as I am advised above? In other words, 

 do you dig and ship dormant plants suitable for cold 

 storage? 



After studying better than 15 catalogs, I like the 

 way you people represent your products better than 

 any of the others as yours seems to be the most 

 honest. t . . 



Paul G. Cumming 



Note We believe in dormant plants. We cooperated 

 with both the N. Y. Station and the U. S. D. A., in 

 experiments which proved their value. We use dor- 

 mant plants to fill your orders until our reserves are 

 exhausted. Another reason for getting your plants 

 early. 



Clark Co., Ohio., Feb. 3, 1947. I have purchased my 

 plants for years from you and have been well satis- 

 fied. I have recommended you to many of my friends. 

 However, this year, we Ohibans have been warned 

 about "red stele." I have confidence in you and your 

 plants and am ordering again. I would appreciate a 

 word from you stating your guarantee. I saw "red 

 stele" at work once and of course I want to avoid it. 

 Mr. L. H. Chenoweth 



Note — Maryland had the first and, we believe, has 

 now the most rigid inspection service for red stele. 

 You can depend on getting disease free plants from us.
