CLERMONT ^^ ^^^^ York station, creation that is gaining much 

 popularity and praise in that State. At the Experi- 

 ment Station at Geneva they were really outstanding, producing a 

 very good crop of large, light red berries with a very high gloss and 

 a bright green calyx. 



With us they made a good yield and the fruit was quite attract- 

 ive but the calyx and the foliage did not hold up as well as we would 

 like. Therefore it is our opinion that Clermont is at its best North of 

 the Mason-Dixon line. 



The plants are vigorous and make a good fruiting row. The fruit 

 is large and sizes up well, has good quality and flavor. In the North- 

 ern sections where Clermont is at its best it is a truly fine variety 

 and well worth a trial. 



-,^^^^, p^UITLAND Extra early, productive of large light red berries 



CLERMONT of better than average quality. Similar to Big 



Joe in firmness and general appearance. Plant growth is vigorous 

 and healthy, holding up well at fruiting time. Here on the Peninsula Fruitland is very popu- 

 lar with many growers for commercial planting and is considered superior to Premier under 

 conditions similar to those here.

Three years ago I purchased 500 Premier plants 

 and last year they were wonderful. Started to pick 

 the 1st of .Tune and we picked some berries every 

 day until the middle of July. The fruit held a fine 

 color and flavor. During this time we had berries 

 almost every meal, gave many to our neighbors 

 and sold over §50.00 worth besides. — Mrs. M. Davitt, 

 Erie Co., Penna. 



We are enclosing our fourth order for Premier 

 Strawberry Plants. "NYe appreciate the splendid 

 service you have rendered us in the past and feel 

 sure you will send us the same high quality plants 

 this year. — ^Mrs. Mildred R. Vought, Bradford Co., 

 Penna. 



Enclosing an order for Berry plants. We had a 

 fine crop from the plants purchased from you two 

 years ago. Were well pleased with the plants and 

 the yield. — Mr. J. E. Gardner, Carroll Co., Va. 



Two years ago I purchased 1,000 Sen. Dunlap 

 plants. They have done fine, last year we picked 

 over 500 ciuarts from this planting. — Mr. Z. J. 

 Parvis, Stark Co., Ohio. 



We had very good success with the plants we 

 purchased in 1933. Last year we picked better than 

 900 quarts from 1,000 plants. So we are sending 

 you another order herewith.— Mr. Everett N. Goode- 

 now, Wyoming Co., N. Y. 



I bought a trial order of Strawberry plants from 

 you two years ago. Last year, from the 2.000 plants 

 we sold $121.75 worth of berries. Please ship the 

 enclosed order as soon as possible. — Mr. J. M. 

 Bibbee, Lancaster Co., Penna. 



The plants that I got from you 2 years ago were 

 very nice and 1 had a very fine lot of berries last 

 year. The Fairfax and Dorsett were the finest 

 berries I ever saw. Some of them were shown at 

 the International Live Stock Show at Chicago last 

 fall and they walked off with first prize. — Mr. R. 

 C. Kern, Henry Co., Ind. 



We had very wet weather during the fruiting sea- 

 son in 1935. Joyce produced a fine crop of nice big 

 berries of good flavor and stood up well after pick- 

 ing. Dorsett were too thick in the beds and did 

 not do so well, Chesapeake came later and escaped 

 the heavy rains, had a fine crop of them. Fugiema 

 produced some wonderful berries but did not show 

 up well in the boxes. Mastodon is all that can be 

 desired in an everbearer. — Mr. Jas. F. Mackereth, 

 Chester Co., Penna. 



Of the varieties we are fruiting Fairfax and Joyce 

 did the best here. The Dorsett were good but 

 Southland was a disappointment and the Fugeima 

 only fair. — Mr. C. W. Ford, Davidson Co., Tenn. 



I wish to thank you for the fine plants that you 

 sent me last year. They came in the best condition 

 of any plants I have ever received from any nur- 



sery. The Dorsett made the best growth of any 

 variety I have ever seen, when I mulched them last 

 fall they were 12 inches tall. The Joyce made a 

 good growth but did not compare with the Dor- 

 sett. — Mr. Frank B. Bobbins, Dutchess Co., N. Y. 



Of the varieties we have the Blakemore were the 

 best, they were just as you described them. Sen. 

 Dunlap were nice for home use and the berries 

 ciaite large but were unsuitable for market. We 

 had rainy weather at fruiting time and half of 

 them rotted. We will not plant them again. The 

 Joyce were very good, Dorsett and Fairfax were 

 'swell" and could not see much difference in them. 

 They were the biggest and best flavored berries 

 we ever tasted. Everyone wlio tried them was de- 

 lighted. We did not like the Wm. Belt at all.— Mr. 

 C. J. Ortman, Iroquois Co., 111. 



The plants I bought of you were very good and 

 true to name. They gave the best results of any 

 grown in this section. We were very pleased with 

 Dorsett, they were uniform and good flavored. The 

 Fairfax Avere later and ran into very wet weather. 

 We lost 50% of our crop from this cause. — Mr. J. 

 J. Storch, Bradford Co.. Penna.
