April, 1972 After having watched my neigh- 

 bor's strawberries come up twice as big and 

 healthy looking as mine for the past two 

 years, I decided to ask them where they got 

 their plants. Would you please send me 25 

 Vesper plants and when my neighbor writes 

 you, please send them some dwarf plants.

February, 1972 



Twelve years ago we set out our first straw- 

 berry plant, along with 599 others — total 

 600. That first order and all the other orders 

 since then have been from your stock. This 

 year our order is for 5,000 plants. Needless 

 to say, we have been very satisfied with your 

 superior plants and excellent service.

/ am writing to let you know that the Marlate strawberry plants that I purchased from you and 

 set out have come up to your recommendations in every way. They produced quite a few berries 

 which received favorable comments from my customers.
