To Our Customers and Other Friends 



My son-in-law, P. Curtis Massey, has joined our firm : and I am especial- 

 ly pleased to introduce him to you. "Curt" was raised in Hagerstown, Mary- 

 land and has always boon interested in plants and agriculture. After col- 

 lege he served in the Marine Corps and received a commission as First 

 Lieutenant. With Rayner Brothers he will be concerned with general man- 

 agement so that he can become familiar with all phases of our business. I 

 believe he will be very helpful in maintaining and improving the many ac- 

 tivities that are so important to our customers. 



Our registered, virus-free strawberry plants continue to prove that they 

 are the very best planting stock for abundant yields of big, high quality 

 berries. For both commercial growers and home gardeners Rayner's straw- 

 berry plants are your most important assurance of profit and success. You 

 will note that we offer the greatest selection of all virus-free stock and that 

 our varieties are those that have been proven by official tests to be the best. 

 It is very likely that you can purchase plants for even less than our reason- 

 able prices : but if you will consider that with poor planting stock all of your 

 labor and potential profits may be lost, you will realize why it is so import- 

 ant to buy Rayner's registered virus-free strawberry plants. 



Another of our specialties is production of the best selection of culti- 

 vated blueberry plants. From our 100-acre fruiting field we select the finest 

 planting stock for you. The new hybrid blueberries are truly sensational. 

 Whenever proper growing conditions are provided, they will produce the biggest blueberries 

 you have ever seen. 



Of much importance to you is the fact that all of our plants are backed by a reliable guar- 

 antee. This guarantee applies to all of our nursery plants that are planted during the spring 

 season and to strawberries planted by July 1st. 



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

 with our plants, write us within 30 days and we will replace the plants or refund the complete 

 purchase price. After the 30 days period and within one year of the date the plants were pur- 

 chased, we will replace at one-half purchase price any plants that are not satisfactory. This 

 guarantee covers full purchase price and does not imply any further responsibility or liabil- 

 ity." 



Also of vital importance to you is the Rayner policy of honest, efficient dealings with our 

 customers. We fully 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 take the time to read the information in this catalog concerning meth- 

 ods of planting strawberries, blueberries and other nursery stock. We have tried to provide 

 the best possible directions because we certainly want you to be successful. Also planting in- 

 structions are sent with each order. Give our plants satisfactory growing conditions and they 

 will reward you many times over with abundant crops of top quality plants. 



Yours for continued success with Rayner's plants, 



H. JACK W. RAYXER, President
