To Our Friends and Customers 



We are ajiaiii visitiii.u' you with our annual cataloji'. and we 

 hope we may have the pleasure of supplyin.u' you witli soni(> plants 

 or trees this sprin.i,'. 



The severe dry weather of last summer really showed up the 

 advantage of the Virus-free stock. These plants were able to 

 produce a sood bed even with the moisture shortaji:e. thus we have 

 a fair supply of plants for our customers this spring?. 



Virus free plants have proven their advantage all over the 

 country this year. We are addinj; new varieties to our list as 

 fast as they are obtainable. You will note many new ones listed 

 in oiu- cataloi,' this year. Our plants have all been jjrown on 

 chemically treated soil, and continually dusted with Parathicm to 

 keep them free from insects and disease, as recommended by the 

 U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. 



We have a tine crop of beautiful plants this year, (see picture 

 below) We are really proud of this stock. We do not believe 

 you can find any better plants. 



l*lease except our thanks for making ll)r)4 our biggest year. 

 AN'e at Kayner's will be looking forward to receiving your order 

 early this spring. Sincerely.

 We had wonderful suoc-oss with the virus-free Hlakeniore and 

 rreniier phints purchased of you this spring. We may have been 

 too successful. Will trj' to explain. 



We planted the Blakemore 24" ai)art and Premier 18" in 42" rows. 

 They made tremendous growth. They are so thick I am afraid it 

 will hurt my crop. This was accomplished without irrigation, and 

 we had such a severe drought, that some nearby plantings were 

 totally lost. 



We believe this unusual success was due to, fine vigorous, virus- 

 free plants, early planting and soil of best fertility and very high 

 in humus. No other grower that I have contacted has had this suc-
