WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTIONS 



FLETCHER 



High flavor — good freezer 



FLETCHER was introduced in 1959 

 in New York and was descended from 

 a cross of Midland and Suwannee. 

 FLETCHER is well adapted to the 

 northern states. 



FLETCHER plants are hardy. They 

 are vigorous in growth and reach up 

 high. FLETCHER is free in making 

 runners for a full bed of plants. 

 FLETCHER is a heavy producer of 

 excellent fruit. 



FLETCHER berries are flavorful; 

 the experts score FLETCHER as one 

 of the most flavorful. Berries are large, 

 bright red and blunt conic in shape. 

 They are firm enough to carry to mar- 

 ket, delightful to eat and excellent for 

 freezing. Order now to reserve your 

 plants. See color page 28. 



Dear Sir: We visited friends who had 

 planted strawberry plants they received 

 from your company. The strawberries were 

 delicious and the plants luxurious. We 

 were impressed and would like to have 

 your catalog on berry plants. Please put 

 my name on your mailing list. 



Thank you

Dear Sir: When my wife and I were married, 

 she didn't know a strawberry plant from 

 a tomato vine. A real city slicker, that's 

 what she was. In the 13 yrs. we have been 

 married I have transformed her into a real 

 dirt farmer. We have around 300 Catskill 

 and Pocahontas plants which are now bear- 

 ing beautifully. My wife would rather pick 

 berries than go shopping, and that's saying 

 a lot. She picks them kneeling, squatting, 

 sitting or crawling. She is hooked on straw- 

 berries. During the month of May my meals 

 consist of strawberries and cereal for 

 breakfast, strawberry pie for dinner, and 

 strawberry pudding for supper. Please send 

 my 100 plants pronto. My wife says your 

 plants are prettier than hybrid roses, and 

 they are. 



Thank you
