JOYCE 



Joyce Is The Finest Berry 

 He Ever Handled 



Dear Sirs: April 17, 1933. 



Please ship with my order of 

 March 31st, 5,100 Mastodon, 300 

 Premier and 1,200 of a late variety 

 which you think suited for this lo- 

 cality. Enclosed is check for §31.65 

 to cover the cost of same. I wish 

 a real late berry which will do well 

 where the Joyce and Premier do 

 well. Your Joyce is the finest berry 

 I have ever handled. Is a heavy 

 producer of fancy fruit and such a 

 splendid shipper. Yours, 



O. B. Geer, Coudersport, Pa. 



I — The Faultless Berry (Per). This is a new variety originated 



Joyce by Mr. Bassett of Salisbury, Md. We obtained a few plants from 

 him and have fruited them in our trial grounds for the past five seasons 

 where they made a remarkable showing. Compared with Big Joe as fol- 

 lows : better plant maker, cleaner, healthier foliage, fruit brighter red, more 

 frost resistant, more productive, fruit much larger, fruiting season from 

 five to ten days longer. Quality and firmness the same. 



Three years ago we sold several 

 thousand of these plants to our 

 old customers and in every lo- 

 cality where they were planted 

 they gave excellent results. We 

 visited some of these fields last 

 fruiting season to see for our- 

 selves the quality, productive- 

 ness and plant growth made in 

 these sections. We found it 

 had been an outstanding suc- 

 cess in every locality. All of 

 these growers want more 

 plants this season. They said 

 it was the best midseason 

 berry they had ever grown; 

 the berries were so large, 

 had such a wonderful color and 

 liavor their customers bought 

 them in preference to any other 

 variety. 



Joyce is a very thrifty grower, 

 producing a fine fruiting bed of 

 strong, vigorous plants; fruits 

 a few days before Big Joe, has 

 an exceptionally long fruiting 

 season; fruit is very large and 

 holds up well to the end of the 

 season. Bright red and of ex- 

 cellent quality, firm; will stand 

 shipment to distant markets and 

 arrive in excellent condition. For 

 home use or roadside market 

 they are unexcelled. 



JOYCE — We urge you to try this new berry 



We ask you all to give Joyce 

 a trial this year and we are sure 

 they will prove your leading 

 June berry. 



Always remember that we are at your service and will be glad to hear from you and 

 will give you any and every possible assistance.
