1923 - GREETINGS ~ 1928 
I take great pleasure in sending you herewith my annual strawberry plant 
catalogue. But I wish first of all to thank you for vour hberal patronage the 
past season and for your kind words for my plants and service. Many of you 
have not only sent me your order but recommended me to your friends and 
neighbors and I received their orders also. I surely appreciate this and I will 
strive to give better plants and service than ever to treat them as I would like 
to be treated, and will give all orders, large or small, the same prompt and 
careful attention. I have discontinued growing some varieties and added others. 
as I want to grow only varieties that I can recommend and that can be 
depended on to give results, and have selected these varieties, the cream of the 
list in each season, early, mid-season and late, and have given a brief description 
of each. My prices too, as you will notice, have been very much reduced in nearly 
all varieties and have made them as low as is consistent with the high quality 
plants and the service I try to give. In asking for your patronage again this 
year I do so assuring you that you will receive the same liberal treatment and 
plants of the same high grade, and that you cannot buy better plants or plants 
that produce more or better fruit, no matter what vou pay or where you get 
them. To those who have not dealt with me, I ask a trial, confident in my 
ability to serve you to your satisfaction. 
As to my reliability, I refer you to The Central Bank (formerly The Salisbury 
Building Loan & Banking Association) of this city. 
Again thanking you for past favors, and wishing you all a happy and pros- 
perous year, I remain, 
Very sincerely yours, 
M: S: PRYOR.
