Strawberries and How to Grow Them 28 



IMPORTANT NOTICE 



NOTB: — ^Ve have discontinued a great many of the different varieties 

 tliat are being advertised throughout the country as good, better and best. 

 Those kinds that we find unprofirable to grow for market ourselves we 

 have desided not to grow and advertise to "stick" our friends wltli. We 

 have picked from a list of 200 varieties, 25 different kinds of which we are 

 satisfied to stake our reputation on, and let the other felhjws hollow up 

 the other 175 good, better and best. AVe liave been growing berries for 

 a number of years and have found there is nothing like starting right In 

 in the start. Had we known as much wlien we commenced as we know 

 today, we would be thousands of dollars better off now. 



This experience we are offering to the public and our many friends and 

 customers. In dealing with us you take no chance. We are financially re- 

 sponsible and we promise a S(iuare deal to every customers. Our business 

 reaches in every state in the union that fruit can be grown in, in almost 

 all the southern Islands and Canada. We have hundreds of fine comple- 

 mentry letters that we have received from all over the country and still 

 receiving them every day, but will not take up the space to publish them 

 and charge the account up to our patrons. 



Our plants are Inspected each year by the State Entomologist and each 

 package bears the Certificate of Inspection, also a Certificate of Fumigation. 

 We guarantee every plant to be good when they leave us and should prove 

 entirely satisfactory when taken from the express office promi)tly on ar- 

 rival.
