BIG PLANTS - BIG BERRIES 



, When stniwbcn-ry plants arc making;- a fruitinj? bed, it has proven advisable to spot the 

 runner plants as they are formed. When this is done, larj^e individual plants well spaced in 

 the row will be the results. Beds handled in this manner will produce larj^er berries, sizing 

 the entire crop well, and give more cpiarts of fancy berries per acre. 



Starting: the spaced bed — mother plant at right 

 — Note how the first runner plants are spaced well 

 spread out.

 Gentlemen : 



We ordered 2000 plants two years ago and 

 were so well pleased that we are setting an- 

 other bed. 



The Fairfax paid as much as $1.20 premium 

 per crate (24 quarts) and this locality had seen 

 nothing like them. Only took 24 to 28 berries 

 to make a quart ; of course this was at the start 

 of the season and only the largest berries from 

 each picking. 



We are more than satisfied with the results 

 and appreciate very much the care in grading 

 and shipping the plants; they came through in 

 fine shape. 



Very truly yours,

 Strawberry plants arrived O.K. They were 

 certainly fine plants, and attracted a lot of at- 

 tention upon arrival here. I am sure you have 

 gained two new coustomers. Also want to 

 thank you for the extra count; there were more 

 plants than I even expected. 



Respectfully yours,

I received my Gem Everbearing strawberry 



plants in very good condition. People here say 



strawberries south of Pennsylvanisi will not 



grow, and 1 am going to prove them wrong. 



I am very well pleased wath the strawberries 

 so far: wlien I want more, you shall surely get 

 the order. 



lours truly,

I received 4,500 berry plants in good condi- 

 tion and planted quite a number as soon as 

 received. 



My wife and myself planted about 4,000 in 

 new land that had been well plowed, disced and 

 harrowed. We tried to get the ground in best 

 of condition possible for new ground. Re- 

 mainder of the plants, we heeled in while ground 

 was being fixed. Set these about a week later. 

 All plants are growing fine and making lots of 

 bloom which I am taking off as they appear. 

 I planted them 18 inches apart in the row ; 

 rows 31/2 feet apart. 



I hope you will excuse this long letter, but I 

 wanted to tell you the fine results these plants 

 are giving. 



Thanking you for plants that live and grow, 

 I remain Yours sincerely, 



H. Worsley 

 P.S. : Send catalog to my neghbor, Mr. Oscar 

 Mintry, as he wishes to purchase some of your 

 plants from seeing the results I am obtaining 

 with them.

 Received my plants, and they were very nice ; 

 have them in and all are growing. 



Would you still be able to supply me with 

 500 Cumberland and 250 Latham raspberres. 

 I know it is late, but I will mail order at once, 

 as soon as I receive your letter. 



I also wish to thank you for your catalog, as 

 it is very instructive. 



Yours truly,

 liberal replacement of my plants which failed. 

 Tliey arrived this A.M. in perfect condition. I 

 am sorry that this occurred, but it only adds 

 to my confidence in your company.

Spaced plants in November — Note the large in- 

 dividual plants with large crowns and many leavr 

 es. This has been accomplished by removing the 

 late runner plants as they appear, for these plants 

 only serve to retard the growth of the early set 

 runner plants.
