PROFIT PRODUCING 

 PLANTS 



To come true to this, plants must first be 

 Sitrong and vigorous, true to name and healthy. 

 The cost of production will be the same whether 

 you have a fine unbroken bed or only half a 

 stand of mixed sorts yet the yield should be 

 double or even thrible that of the poor, mixed 

 field and the fruit in most cases is much better 

 and will return several cents more per quart. 



Then there is the cost of the plants, al- 

 though this is a small item when compared to 

 the total cost of producing strawberries it is 

 still important. The best plants are always 

 cheapest regardless of price, while poor, weak, 

 mixed plants would be expensive as a gift for 

 the labor, the use of the land and the fertilizer 

 used would just be wasted. 



Our plants are just as good as we know how to grow them and we have had many 

 years experience at this one job. We will give you every good plant we can for your 

 money, and when we say good, we mean as good as can be grown. Our prices are 

 very reasonable when you consider the quality of the plants we send out and we are 

 behind them with our guarantee of 100% Satisfaction or Your Money Back. 



Will Strawberries Pay You? 



We believe so. It would be needless for us to say you would make |500.00 or 

 $1,000.00 per acre and would be misrepresenting the true facts. We do, however, 

 believe there are fairly large profits for the grower who handles his strawberries well 

 and markets them to the best advantage. Although you may receive little or no profit, 

 this is also true of any crop you can grow, and strawberries have been one of the best, 

 if not the best, paying crop for many years and we can see no reason why they should 

 not continue so. 



Profits of from $300.00 to $500.00 per acre are not uncommon and sometimes much 

 more, but to realize the higher figure conditions must be very favorable and a grower 

 must have an excellent market. We have always found a grower who has an acreage 

 he can handle to good advantage, does much better than one who has more than he 

 can care for properly. Four or five acres ©r less are usually found in the high profit 

 class, although there are exceptions to all rules. 



On pages 6 and 7 there are some common sense suggestions for growing straw- 

 berries which most growers would work out for themselves in time. By following 

 these suggestions the novice has the same advantage as the experienced grower. We 

 have no "Rayner's Way," no "Secrets" or "Key." Strawberries are just like any other 

 crop. The essentials are good plants, (we have these), good soil, proper fertilization, 

 careful planting, hoeing and cultivating. 



Marketing is very important in relation to your profit, and should receive careful 

 consideration. If you are close to a well traveled highway, a roadside stand offers an 

 opportunity to market your berries at fancy prices. An advertisement in your local 

 newspaper, a few attractive signs along the highway, or if you have a local broad- 

 casting station, an announcem.ent every day or a fifteen minute program once or twice 

 a week will bring customers to your door and you can soon work up a trade that will 

 come back each year. Careful grading, honest selling and putting the berries up in a 

 neat, attractive package makes selling easier and customers will tell their friends and 

 neighbors. This is the very best advertisement, and we attribute our success to the 

 generous cooperation of our customers.

Full Count In Every Bunch 



Dear Sirs: Blue Spring Run, Va., April 29, 1933.
