High flavor — good freezer 



FLETCHER is "high, wide, and handsome" — plants of FLETCHER grow tall — 

 with vigor. Plants are winter hardy and do best in the colder climates of our 

 northern states. 



FLETCHER produces heavy crops of flavorful berries. They are of good size, 

 bright red, and firm enough for marketing. FLETCHER berries are a delight to 

 eat — and fine for freezing. Our new FLETCHER picture on facing page gives 

 you an idea of what to expect when you set FLETCHER this season. Order now 

 to reserve your plants! 



VERY LATE VARIETIE 



m 



Large and lovely — ever so productive 



VESPER is the offspring of Utah Shipper and Jerseybelle and like Jerseybelle, 

 it is a very productive variety. VESPER plants are vigorous and make runners 

 well. Berries are rich red and glossy, large in size, with lovely cap of green. 

 VESPER ripens later than Jerseybelle and is an excellent variety to extend 

 the season for Northern growers. VESPER is susceptible to verticillium wilt 

 and leaf disease and care must be taken to guard against attack. We consider 

 VESPER a fine variety for the Northern states but cannot recommend it for 

 growing south of New Jersey since it tends to become too soft in the South. 



Gentlemen: I would like to include a note of praise for your plants with my son's 

 order. In 1966, we ordered 125 of five varieties of your plants. The ground was 

 frozen when they arrived so we stored them in the refrigerator a month before 

 setting them. We only lost 5 or 6 of the plants and had two good seasons of 

 hearing — plenty to eat, freeze, preserve and even sold a few. My son is a fresh- 

 man FFA student and is using these plants as his project. His teacher also rec- 

 ommends your plants. Thank you very much.

Please send me your 1969 Book of Berries. In the year of 1967 I ordered 5,000 

 plants from you, 1,000 each of Earlidawn, Midway, Armore, Sparkle, and Vesper, 

 and in 1968, I sold over $2,500.00 worth of berries. Plants and berries were just 

 wonderful. — P.S. If you have already mailed me a Berry Book, just ignore this 

 request. Ray Stambaugh, Baltimore, Ohio
