FINER PLANTS FROM RAYNERS 



Plymouth Co., July 24, 1941 

 Last spring we ordered a thousand Fairfax 

 strawberry plants from you, they were received 

 promptly and were in excellent condition when un- 

 packed. When I was a boy I worked for a seeds- 

 man and I never saw plants in his field as fine as 

 the ones you sent us. We took care in setting the 

 plants and taken good care of them ever sinc-e. 

 we lost just three plants out of the lot, and the 

 rest have developed into fine sturdy plants, quite 

 a number have eight runner plants now formed. 

 Everbody who sees these beds of strawberry plants 

 say they have never seen such fine plants. 



Vry truly yours, 

 L. O. Cummins
