Company says about it before I plant very many." Premier has proven to be a 

 wonder but most new varieties don't. Mr. Joseph Shepherd of Sullivan Co., 

 Indiana wrote us, "I am sending to you for strawberry plants because I believe 

 you will treat me right. As you have described very accurately the varieties with 

 which I am very familiar, I take it for granted that your description of the Chesa- 

 peake is correct. I am well pleased with what you say about the Senator Dunlap 

 and Dr. Burrill for it coincides with my experience exactly. I would not buy 

 plants of a man who would say that the Dr. Burrill was twice as good as Senator 

 Dunlap in every way, for he knows better if he has tested them side by side." 



We want orders for plants of course. And if we can get the confidence of our 

 customers and readers through fairness and honesty, we believe we can get their 

 orders for plants too, don't you? We enclose order sheet and return envelope for 

 your answer.

 THE PLEASURE IS MUTUAL 



Washington Co., Md., May 13, 1924. 



It affords me the greatest of pleasure to write you a few lines, just to tell you what I thimc of 



the strawberry plants. They landed in fine shape, got them planted a few days later, and they are 



growing fine. I will have to say they were the nicest plants I most ever saw. I am sure thankful and 



glad that I learned of you people soon enough to put in my little order this spring.

 ALWAYS SATISFACTORY 



Kent Co., Md., Mar. 17, 1924. 

 I am ordering some few plants for a neighbor and a few for myself also, as we always find 

 plants bought of you have always proved satisfactory. Don't think we ever lost a one.

 IN THE PINK OF CONDITION TO CANADA 



New Brunswick, Canada, May 3, 1924. 

 Strawberry plants arrived promptly and in the pink of condition. This season is very backward 

 so I have heeled them in a V shaped trench, and from this present appearance, if they do not all 

 grow, it will be no fault of yours. It is very gratifying to do business with such honorable people. 

 I appreciate the close attention you gave to my orders, in every detail they show the work of skill- 

 ful hands. I would like to know you people personally, but as that seems quite impossible, I trust 

 our business relations will continue to be as pleasant as in the past. W. C. Arnold
