VERY aiUCH PLEASED WITH FORMER ORDER 



Feb. 21, 1938 

 In regards to this order, will say that I ordered 

 plants from you once before, and was very much 

 pleased with them. I bought a small farm last 

 spring, and expect to raise berries and fruit, so I 

 naturally want to get good plants, and I know if 

 I get as good plants as I did before. I ought to 

 make a good crop next year. — Mr. O. P. Deppe, 

 Maddison Co., Illinois. 



POTATOES $12.1.5, STRAWBERRIES $130.00. 

 WHY PLANT POTATOES? 



April 8, 1938 

 We have several thousand chickens, and grow 

 strawberries as a sideline for a ready cash crop 

 and quick turnover. On a small piece of land 4 

 years ago, we raised 35 bushels of potatoes, and 

 sold same for .35c a bushel. On same land, set 

 1,000 Premier strawberry plants "Rayner's qua- 

 lity", sold 500 qts. at 20c a qt., 200 qts. at 15c, and 

 had plenty for ourselves at all times, and pre- 

 served for winter's use. Why plant potatoes? 

 Thank you for your fine goods. — C. AV. Brouse & 

 Son, Jefferson Co., Pa. 



WELL SATISFIED 



April 25, 19,38 

 I received order No. 19189 on April 5th, and 

 planted it next day. The following day it snowed, 

 and when the snoAV melted, the ground froze hard 

 for two mornings. The plants were heaved out. 

 I went over the patch and set them down again, 

 and would not have lost a plant, if they had not 

 been heaved out, and do not think there will be 

 more than 50 lost. I am well satisfied. — Mr. W. 

 E. Weaver, Mahoning Co., Ohio. 



NICE PLANTS LAST YEAR, ORDERING AGAIN

 Am enclosing an order for 22,500 berry plants, 

 and certainly hope you will have as nice plants as

 was perfect. Only two plants have died, and that 

 seems to me to be an almost perfect record. — Miss
