Strawberries Pay Every Year 



In all our years in the plant business we have never as yet found a 

 customer who has not made a profit with Strawberries, and some have 

 made as high as SI, 200 on one acre. This, hovv^ever, does not happen very 

 often. Only by having an exceptionally favorable season, good fertile soil, 

 strong, vigorous plants and an excellent market can this be realized. Un- 

 der average conditions one should not expect more than S300 to 8500 per 

 acre. This is much more than can be realized from most other crops. 



Only a small amount of money is needed to start. Returns come in 

 earlier than from any other fruit crop and with little additional expense 

 a second crop almost equal to the first can be had. A nice income can be 

 had from a small patch and experience, though desirable, is not necessary.

Every one should have a 

 berry garden. With a little 

 effort, one may have de- 

 licious, fresh berries right 

 from the vines, daily, through 

 a long season (and by plant- 

 ing some everbearers) they 

 can have them all sum.mer 

 and fall. Order 200 to £00 

 plants today; this many if 

 given proper care will pro- 

 duce all the berries you can 

 use fresh, have plenty to pre- 

 serve and probably you will 

 have several quarts to sell to 

 your neighbors, who will al- 

 ways be more than glad to 

 get them, 

 to sell berries at good prices 



The roadside stand gives a wonderful advantage 

 and there is always a good demand for them. See page 23 for Garden Specials 



RAYNER'S JOYCE THE WONDER BERRY. 



Gentlemen: Northampton, Pa., July 15, 1932. 



I wish to toll you of the success I have had with the new Strawberry, Joyce, which 

 I received from you last year. These plants made a very strong growth, the beds 

 were 24 to 30 inches wide by the middle of October, v/eie clean and thrifty, shovving 

 no sign of ruct. 



We began picking June 24th and July 15th there v^ere still a few berries on the 

 vines. From the 1,C00 plants we set we picked 2467 quarts; we counted the berries 

 in seveial baskets and they ranged from 20 to 27 beriies to the quart. We had several 

 heavy rains during the picking season but the berries showed no bad effects and the 

 color and flavor of the berries were simply wonderful. ¥/e have several varieties but 

 all our customers wanted the Joyce. 



I shall place my order for seven or eight thousand Joyce plants early next spring 

 for they are the very best midscascn berry I have ever grown or seen. 



Wishing you and your New Berry great success, I am 



Very truly yours, John G. Heffelfinger. 



Dear Sirs: Washington, R. I., May 4, 1932. 



Plants arrived in very good condition and they are all alive and looking fine. 

 Thanking you for your prompt delivery and for extra plants. 



Yours truly Leona Wilcox.
