These unsolicited letters from our customers show the interest and enthus- 

 iasm with which berry gardens are tended and the satisfaction as well as 

 material benefits that come from them. We like to receive such reports. 



Wyoming Co., N. Y. June 22, 1942. I am 

 about through picking Premier. We have a large 

 garden of them and I sold even the little ones. 

 People like their beautiful color, their size and rose- 

 like fragrance. They would come and buy my 

 berries even during a dry spell when the berries 

 fell off in size for a while and leave bigger berries 

 at the local stores that didn't look as "nice as ours". 

 The stores took a crate a day from me every day 

 and two on Saturday and paid me a few cents over 

 the Buffalo Wholesale market. We usually got 

 $4.00 a crate of 24 quarts. The Premiers are gone 

 now for this year and still people keep calling for 

 berries. What berries can I set out next spring so 

 that I will have some tagging Premier and Catskill? 



Mildred Howard 



Cook Co., 111. July 5, 1942, Last spring I ordered 

 from you 100 Fairfax and 50 Mastodon strawberry 

 plants that arrived in Al condition. I never saw 

 better plants. We have only a small garden, about 

 30 feet square and we used about one half of the 

 space, or 15 X 30 feet for the 150 strawberry plants. 

 Well, I never saw so many or such large berries in 

 all my life. I picked 108 quarts of berries. The 

 Mastodons are blooming again, and have quite a 

 lot of runners setting between the rows. Fairfax 

 have entirely filled in between the rows. Incidently, 

 it took exactly 9 or my largest Fairfax to weigh a 

 pound, believe it or not. They are truly most 

 wonderful berries. 



Mr. Thos. H. McCauley 



Fountain Co., Ind. May 11, 1942. Some two or 

 three years ago we ordered a few strawberry 

 plants of you to put in our garden. We have raised 

 some of the finest strawberries just for our family 

 use. I am placing another small order. Your berries 

 are sure the best ever. 



Mr. N. Webb Metsker 



Franklin Co., Mass. Jan. 30, 1942. Last year 

 in April my father bought over 2,000 plants. They 

 came in lovely shape. Were doing just great when 

 I came home last June. The Everbearing plants 

 were getting berries on them last fall and boy! were 

 they berries? So this year I want to get a stand of 

 them, 



Mrs. Lillian W. Reed 



Allegheny Co., Pa. February 20, 1942. Last 

 year we purchased a piece of ground, two acres on 

 the outskirts of town and at once started to develop 

 it with the things we most desired. We love straw- 

 berries. So I ordered 100 plants from you, the Ever- 

 bearing, collection. Meantime, I studied your cata- 

 log as to instructions. I had never grown anything 

 before, let alone strawberries. As you know the 

 spring of 1941 was very dry, but in spite of lack of 

 moisture and worse, lack of knowledge, these won- 

 derful plants of yours did grow. In August we let 

 the fruit ripen. We have never, never been able to 

 buy berries so large or tasty. They' continued to 

 ripen until stopped by freezing weather about 

 November 14th. We are giving up some more of 

 our ground to our berry patch and am enclosing 

 order for 100 more. 



Mr. K. P, Allen 



Marion Co., Ohio. March 9, 1942, 1 bought 200 

 Premier and 300 Fairfax plants from you three 

 years ago this spring. They were both very nice and 

 very productive but the neighbors to whom we sold 

 most of them preferred the Fairfax as they had a 

 better flavor and were larger. We picked quart 

 after quart of them that measured six inches in cir- 

 cumference. Enclosed find order for 500 more 

 Fairfax plants,
