Jefferson Co. Ala., May 7, 1962. "Let me first tell 



you that the strawberry plants that you sent me 



sometime ago are the finest that I have ever seen. 



I planted them as you instructed and they are 



just blooming "up a storm.' I pinched off the first 



blooms as you said to do and they are now full 



of berries." CATLIN C. REEVES. 



Sterling, Alaska, June 19, 1962. "The strawberry 



plants are certainly thriving and I just can't ex- 



I plain in words how well they are doing. Every 



SgSI plant grew. At present over half of the plants are 



$|j|j in bloom and buds on the others, ready to bloom. 



«%%8I ',-S, It is surprising how things will grow in this new 



soil." L. J. ROWLETT.
