Better Plants and Better Service 



In sending you our Berry Book for 1939, we also offer our sincere thanks for 

 your patronage in past seasons, the many letters of praise for our plants, and the 

 loyal support our plants and policy has been given. 



Frankly, we are just plain farmers, and we know all too well what a crop fail- 

 ure means, both financially and to your peace of mind, and we feel it our duty to 

 you to overlook nothing, either in our information or our plants, that may in any way 

 contribute to your success. Our plants, are grown by the very best methods we 

 know; methods that, in our mind, will add everything possible to their inherent 

 ability to grow and produce a profitable crop. 



Descriptions are just as close to the actual performance of the varieties as we 

 can find words to picture them. Of course, with the new introductions, we do not 

 know definitely how wide their adaptability may be, but, we do know, they are 

 far superior to the present sorts where tested, and, we believe, merit a thorough 

 trial by every grower. 



It is only through breeding and testing that the strawberry has reached its 

 present high state of development, and, with the scientific breeding now being con- 

 ducted, it is impossible to imagine the limitations of this versatile fruit. Better va- 

 rieties mean bigger and more profitable crops, and their development is of great 

 interest to every grower. 



Through good cultural practices — yields, size, and quality can be greatly im- 

 proved, and we have given herein those methods which have proven the best in 

 actual practice. It is our sincere wish that every grower who uses our plants will 

 receive full compensation for his labor and investment, and we will do everything 

 humanly possible to attain this end. 



The present outlook is promising, and we are confident very satisfactory prices 

 can be expected for the coming season. However, the grower who produces ex- 

 ceptionally good fruit seldom has a year of poor prices, for the rule seems to be — 

 "good prices for good berries" — which leads us to believe our greatest efforts 

 should be for better rather than for more fruit. 



We are soliciting your order for berry plants because we firmly believe we ore 

 able to give you better plants and better service at prices that represent substantial 

 savings. May we prove this to you during 1939?
