Here is my order for 2,000 Midway plants. I'll accept no substitute because to me, Midway 

 and strawberry are the same word. Last year, 1970, we had a crop that was hard to believe. 

 Off of the 2,000 Allen Midway plants we set in 1969, we picked 3,000 quarts! Another straw- 

 berry grower not 5 miles from here said he only got V2 crop. I just know that it is the plants 

 that make a difference. Yours are the very best. My mother and brother are going to order 

 from you, too, this year. My brother has tried local nurseries and they just do not grow. 

 So, put us down for 2,000 Midway and I'll let you know how they do in a couple years! 

 P.S. We got another little strawberry picker in September. Made us 6. . . .
