 and canning also.

 It will provide old-folks with the opportunity to help a little at useful work with no harm to themselves. 

 It will provide young folks with well-rewarded work and responsibility. 



It will provide the "makings" for lots of strawberry shortcake. Surely shortcake deserves its own special 

 mention. 



It will provide, with everbearers, strawberries to enjoy all through late summer and fall.

 luscious berries as a friendly gesture or be more pleasing to the recipient.

 quite a sum if you use many berries. 



' Last, but far from least, a good berry garden will provide an important and delightful source of Vitamin C.

New Haven Co., Conn., May 3, 1946. We had marvelous 

 reiults with the plants we got from you in 1944. With no 

 experience in growing strawberries, and with very little 

 work, we had quantities oi large beautiful berries this 

 past spring. Mr. & E. Bliss 



WelU Co., Ind., July 21, 1946. In 1944, I received 100 

 Redstar strawberry plants and this spring I picked 20 

 gallons and one quart of strawberries from a small plot 

 of ground size 21 x 10 ft. I picked berries measuring 41/2" 

 circumference from this bed of strawberries and I picked 

 my last quart of berries July 7th. These berries measure 

 up to everything you say about them in your catalogue. 

 Miss Fancy Mae Reynolds 



Camden Co., N. J., Mar. 25, 1946. I would like to take 

 this opportunity to commend you on your strawberries. 

 Three years ago I purchased my first plants from you. 

 Strawberries are something I never grew before. I only 

 have a small plot of ground, but if I had a hundred acres 

 it would be with your plants. We enjoy the berries we 

 get in the summer no end. It is a pleasure to have them 

 fresh from our own garden. Last year we had all we 

 could eat and my wife canned twenty-five quarts which 

 we sure have enjoyed this winter. Thank you again for 

 your wonderful plants. 



Mr. Willard H. Conover 



Onondago Co., N. Y., Jan. 4, 1946. I have read in your 

 catalogue where people have written you about the big 

 crops from your plants. This summer I had a man that 



has been raising strawberries for 25 years look at my 

 patch and he said he never saw anything to equal it. 

 The plants have come from your nursery. The berries 

 held up to size. Mr. C. A. Novel 



Philadelphia Co., Pa.. May 20, 1946. I have a home 

 garden and I bought some of your Fairfax strawberry 

 plants in March 1945. This year at the present time thex 

 are producing a very large, fine, beautiful berry. They 

 are being admired by all my neighbors and everyone that 

 sees them. These berries are indeed everything that you 

 say about them in your catalogue. When a man or com- 

 pany produces a fine product, I think he should be told 

 about it. I am more than proud to show these berries off. 



Mr. John Wilcox 



Philadelphia Co., Pa., Apr. 14, 1946. Two years ago we 

 put in 100 of your berries (plants). We picked well over 

 100 quarts. Never ate such strawberries before. 

 Mrs. F. S. Dubbs 



Hancock Co., W. Va., Feb. 20, 1946. Enclosed find small 

 order for plants. I ordered Fairfax and Catskill from you 

 in 1944 and despite a lot of heavy frosts when I used 

 everything I could find to cover them I had beautiful 

 berries and enough of them to divide with my friends, add 

 to the family ]am supply and sell more than I paid for 

 the plants. I have had several small orders from you 

 and have always had beautiful berries. I want the Redstar 

 to lengthen the berry season.
