To Our Customers and Other Friends 



We welcome you as a reader of Rayner' s Berry Book for 1967. 

 Here you will find a source of the best possible planting stock of 

 berries, fruits, and other plants listed in the index on page 4 . Our plants 

 are as hardy as any of the same variety regardless of where they are 

 grown. We have thousands of satisfied customers throughout the 

 northern states since our modern storage facilities enable them to 

 obtain fully dormant plants for their late planting season. Since we 

 can dig plants early in the spring we are also able to meet the demands 

 of our many friends in the southern area. Our careful packaging 

 and prompt service will assure you of receiving top-quality plants 

 when you want them. 



Our reliable guarantee is shown below and also of special interest to you is the Rayner policy of honest 

 dealings with our customers. We realize that satisfied customers are the backbone of our business and we will 

 make every reasonable effort to provide you with top quality plants and service. 



We hope you will read the planting information in this catalog since it will help you to have good results 

 with our plants. With each order we also send planting instructions and we also have special leaflets that are 

 available, upon request, for culture of any of the stock we sell. Give our plants good treatment and they will 

 reward you many times over with abundant crops of the best fruit. 

 Yours for continued success with Rayner' s plants.

"We guarantee you will receive top quality stock. If for any reason you are not pleased with

How to Order from This Catalog 



Near each variety description you will find Rayner's 1967 price. Please note that on some items there 

 is a reduction for quantity purchases. On page 18 there is a complete strawberry price list. Prices in 

 this catalog supersede any previous prices and will be applied to any orders received in 1967. This year 

 we are attempting to eliminate some of the problems caused by increased cost of handling, packing, and 

 postage. Therefore we request that you include an additional 10% of the total cost of your plants to 

 cover postage, packing, and handling. On orders west of the Mississippi this charge is 15%. On orders 

 of any amount less than $5.00 the charge is 50c. If the Special Handling Service of the U. S. Post Office 

 Department is desired please include an additional 35c for orders up to 10 lbs. and 50c for each package 

 over 10 lbs. This service usually results in more rapid delivery of third class mail and we especially 

 recommend it for areas where parcel post delivery is slow. On shipments by rail express the total shipping 

 charge will be collected at your express station. We can ship by United Parcel Service, but only to areas 

 of the Eastern states where this service can be used and only where a complete street or road address 

 is provided. Because of various difficulties we do not accept orders from any foreign countries except 

 Canada. We advise that you send full payment with your order but are glad to hold larger orders if 

 3^ payment is received when the order is placed and the balance is paid before shipment. We do not 

 ship C.O.D for amounts over $20.00 and do not extend credit. We will try to ship as near as possible 

 to the date requested. We carefully pack our plants so that they should arrive in good condition after 

 10 days to 2 weeks. (Please allow at least a week to 10 days for delivery.) We send a notice of shipment, 

 by first class mail the day your order is sent and thus you will know approximately when it should be 

 received. Our plants are guaranteed to arrive in good condition and to grow. Or we will unhesitatingly 

 send replacements or refund your payment whichever you prefer. If it should be necessary to contact us 

 concerning your order please provide us with the red number which is stamped on the order acknowledg- 

 ment that we send as soon as each order is received.
