1 am very grateful to my fiiends and customers for the splendid patron- 

 age shown me during the past Season and I wish to thank you for the many 

 good words of praise you have said in regard to Perdue's Best Quality Stra"vr- 

 berry Plants and I take pleasure in presenting you herewith my annual Cat- 

 alog of Strawberry Plants. I have millions of the Best Quality Plants to 

 offer and there is nothing cheap about my plants except the price. I am 

 located in a well favored soil and climate for producing the strongest, most 

 vigorous and most prolific plants. You cannot get better, no matter where 

 you get them from, therefore I am pleased to have your order for I can fill 

 it promptly and satisfactorily. I do not sell mixed plants. My plants are 

 strictly true to name, well cleaned up and tied in bundles of 25 plants each 

 and packed in plenty of damp moss. I guarantee satisfaction and safe de- 

 livery anywhere. Strawberry Plants are my specialty. I do not grow any 

 other nursery stock, which enables me to give my own personal attention to 

 the digging and packing of my plants for shipment. I have all the best va- 

 rieties and in conclusion let me say that Millions of Perdue's Best Quality 

 Strawberry Plants have been shipped to my customers in all parts of the 

 country and have always given perfect satisfaction. I am anxious to serve 

 you and have the stock and facilities for doing so. I aga'n thank each and 

 every one of my customers for their generous patronage in the past and hope 

 for a continuance of the same. 



My Plant Farm is located near Showell, Maryland, on the P. B. & W. 

 Railroad, which gives me excellent facilities for all shipping points in this 

 country. Hoping to be favored with your order, I am. 



Yours very respectfully, 



C. S. PERDUE.
