FELLOW PRODUCERS: 



We realize that now we must produce as much food as we pos- 

 sibly can, both in the home garden and in our fields, so that our boys 

 in service, the men and women working on our home front may have 

 an abundance of food to do their jobs with the greatest efficiency. 



Fruit is truly a health food, the demand for strawberries and 

 blueberries is sure to be much greater than the supply, good profits 

 are certainly in prospect to the commercial grower, and every home 

 garden should set enough plants for the family use, otherwise they 

 may not be able to obtain any of this fruit. 



Due to the most severe drought that we have had in this section 

 for many years, strawberry plants are very scarce, in fact, many 

 fields died completely from lack of moisture, and the fields that did 

 survive only made a limited number of plants, this has created a 

 scarcity of all varietes of strawberry plants and the price has had to 

 be advanced. Looking over our supply of plants we know we will be 

 sold out of most varieties long before the end of our usual shipping 

 season, thus, we advise all our customers to order at once so that we 

 can furnish them with the varieties they want. Late orders just 

 cannot be filled. 



We wish at this time to thank all our customers for making 1943 

 our largest year in both strawberry and blueberry plant sales, by so 

 many of you placing your orders early, we were able to give prompt 

 service, even with the scarcity of help that existed here, as well as 

 on every other farm. We trust that you will again place your orders 

 early, we will ship the plants at any date you wish. By this method, 

 we believe we will be able to continue giving our usual prompt and 

 efficient service. 



Yours very truly, 



ItAYNER BROTHERS
