Our plants make friends 



If it were possible, how we would like to say "Good morn- 

 ing" and shake hands with every one of our many friends 

 and customers. We have met and talked berry problems with 

 many people, some of whom we have been serving for the 

 past decade, the information we have been able to give and 

 receive has been very beneficial to both parties and we often 

 thiidv what an instructive catalog we could write if we had 

 met you all and knew your many i)rol)lems and how you had 

 solved them. 



The ultimate aim in sending you this Berry Book is to sell 

 you plants but to be successful we realize we cannot sell you 

 plants this year only but must continue to serve you for 

 many years. If. however, you do not realize any profit from 

 your berry plantings you would naturally stop setting berry 

 plants. Therefore we are endeavoring not only to send our 

 customer the best plants money can buy but have included 

 in this book the ])est methods of raising strawberries, the 

 amount you can rightly expect from an acre of berries, mar- 

 keting hints and many other suggestions of beneficial inter- 

 est to the strawberry grower. We have often received let- 

 ters like Mr. C. J. Lanter's on page 3 telling of the success 

 they have had with our plants when they had never raised 

 berries before and their only knowledge of berry growing 

 was that given in our Berry Book. 



Our catalog is based on facts. In our variety descriptions 

 we give you our frank opinion of a variety and why we be- 

 lieve it valuable for you. We Wiint your orders but we know 

 if you are given honest information so that j^ou can select 

 your varieties intelligently your chances of success will be 

 doubled or tripled and naturaly you will be needing plants 

 each year you grow berries. A successful grower is the best 

 customer, therefore, it is our duty to you and to ourselves 

 to do everything we can to promote your success. 



We wish to take this opportunity to thank every one of 

 you who gave so generously of your confidence and patron- 

 age. This was truly appreciated and you may rest assured 

 we will never violate your trust. We nlso wish to thank 

 those who, with their many repeat orders have enabled us to 

 sell better plants at lower cost, those who spoke well of our 

 plants to their friends and neighbors and those who wrote 

 us of our service, plants or the yiehls they made. To every 

 one of you we give our heartfelt thanks. 



The rendering of faithful service, delivering true to name, 

 high quality plants, honestly represented and fairly priced 

 which we back with a Guarantee of 100% Satisfaction or 

 Your Money Back. It is upon this that we base our request 

 for your orders. May we serve you in 1037 V 



through their vigorous pro- 

 ductiveness. 



You too will be proud of your 

 berry field 





set with Rayner's vigorous 

 plants.
