1939  Yntroductory 1939 
Perdue’s Strawberry Plant Farms were es- 
tablished in 1900 and are at this time the 
largest individually owned and _ operated 
strawberry plant nursery, now comprising 
several farms all equipped with up-to-date 
machinery with an experienced and efficient 
organization for producing millions of Per- 
due’s “Best Quality” strawberry plants annu- 
ally. For the past 38 years, my plants have 
proven producers and have an unexcelled re- 
cord for yielding large and profitable ¢rops 
of strawberries. Perdue’s plants have always 
given satisfactory results to my thousands of 
customers located in all parts of this country. 
The sales of Perdue’s “Best Quality” plants 
have increased each year until our orders 
for strawberry plants emount to millions of 
plants each year. I am very grateful to all 
my customers who have favored me with 
their orders. The growing season for straw- 
berry plants here in my locality the past 
summer was ideal for producing an unequal- 
ed quality of plants, very large in size, ex- 
cellent root system, very vigorous and heal- 
thy. I have millions of them to fill your 1939 
requirements. In conclusion, I wish to ex- 
press my sincere appreciation to all my cus- 
tomers who have used Perdue’s plants; and 
to those who have not used my plants, I 
would be pleased to have you order them and 
become one of my regular and satisfied cus- 
tomers. Soliciting your patronage, I am, 
Very respectfully, 
C. S. Perdue 
P. P. Simmons of Ky. writes: “I am sending 
you a check for 27,000 Premier to be shipped 
express prepaid. Ship them about March 20th. 
I have used your plants for some six or eight 
years and they are the best I can find. I can 
buy plants for one half the price of yours but 
I am afraid of them.- ~Febs 1719388; 
Also on letter of March 23, 1938, “Please 
send me 5000 more Premier plants as quick as 
you can.”
