Cumberland County, N. J., May 7, 1945 

 Both the Strawberries and Blueberries are a 

 source of pleasure and pride; I've never had any so 

 thrifty before. By the way, yesterday, May 5th, 

 I picked my first "Maytime" berries, for this sea- 

 son, bought from you in 1942. 



Sincerely, 



Luella H. Thalwitzer

 rived in good condition: am very pleased with 

 them. 



Yours sincerely.

 My Blueberry bushes arrived in good condition, 

 also thanks for Strawberry plants. Your Blue- 

 berries are the finest I have ever seen. 

 Yours truly,

 I got my plants in A-l condition : the count was 

 generous. All the plants have made some growth 

 since I set them. We just had two killing frosts 

 in succession but the plants apparently suffered no 

 damage. Yours truly.

 You may be interested to know how your plants 

 produced, so here it is — In 1941 I planted 7,500 

 Blakemore on about one acre of well prepared land 

 and in 1942 harvested 400 twelve quart trays (4800 

 qts.). In 1943 this same patch produced 900 trays 

 (10.800 qts.) for market and at least 200 trays 

 (2400 qts.) went to waste because of labor shortage 

 and hot, wet weather. 



Respectfully yours,

 Plants arrived the 22nd in perfect condition, and 

 as always were so nice. Whenever I want straw- 

 berry plants, it will be Rayners Plants for me. 

 The ground was just right to plant them and we 

 should have a perfect crop next year. Thanking 

 3'ou for your promptness, I remain 

 Yours,

 The plants are as fine plants as I ever saw and I

 I should like to say that the plants received 

 last year were received in excellent condition : they 

 were good plants and very well packed, the same 

 as those I ordered from you several years ago, in 

 much larger quantity.

 Ever since we have been 

 growing strawberries, for the 

 past six years, we have pur- 

 chased our plants from your 

 nursery and have always re- 

 ceived fine, healthy plants 

 which grew well and made a 

 good bed of plants. Again we 

 express our appreciation for 

 the replacement shipment and 

 feel certain these plants will 

 grow, if not, you may rest as- 

 sured it will not be the fault of 

 the plants, as they were surely 

 splendid ones. 



Gratefully yours, 

 J. Kenneth Kyper

 I enclose small order for 

 strawberry plants-$19.65 : please 

 ship by Express. I notice you 

 send a certificate with ship- 

 ment. I am glad of this, for 

 otherwise plants would be re- 

 fused entry. I got some Red- 

 star from you last Spring and 

 they were wonderful plants and 

 have done very well : they were 

 three weeks enroute, h a v i n g 

 been held up by our Inspection 

 and Fumigation Dept. That 

 they lived at all, speaks well 

 for your packing. 



Yours truly,

 I think I have as nice a patch of plants as any- 

 body ever had, considering the length of time they 

 have been planted. The Massey are wonderful, full 

 of long runners already. They are all just fine. 

 Verv truly vours,
