Plants Are Fresh Dug 



My plants are not dug any old time when it is most convenient and 

 then put in storage or packed away waiting for your order; but are dug 

 after your order is received and then packed in light boxes or mailing car- 

 tons with plenty of damp moss, and shipped promptly, which insures them 

 reaching you in first class condition. A shipping tag with Certificate of 

 Inspection, purchaser's name and full address is attached to each and every 

 package sent out. 



Strawberries are a money making crop and have been selling for fancy 

 prices for the last few years, many growers making from $500 to $800 and 

 up per acre, and it looks as if they would sell for good prices for several 

 years yet; and if you are not growing them believe it will pay you and pay 

 you big to grow them. 



YOU RUN NO RISK, in ordering plants of me, for should I be sold out 

 of the variety wanted, I will return your money, unless you say I can sub- 

 stitute; and I always label true to name. I don't send you one kind of plants 

 and label it something else, I'm not built that way, and then, I have got to 

 please you or else I cannot expect your order and it's too expensive to have 

 to get new customers every year. My aim and ambition is to fill your order 

 so you will be so well pleased that you will not only send me your order 

 next time, but that some of your friends or neighbors will send me their 

 orders too. That's the kind of advertising that pays. 



TESTIMONIALS — As usual, I am publishing no testimonials, as my 

 space in this issue is too limited. I could print some fine ones as I get lots 

 of them and I am aiv/ays glad to receive them for it is a great pleasure to 

 know that my plants please you.
