Top prices for Fairfax berries like these 



Some growers make money with strawberries every year, and it isn't always the very large 

 growers who gi-ow the best crops and make the most money per acre. 



OHIO 



Harrison Co., Ohio. Jan. 16., 1939. — Three years 

 ago I ordered 500 Fairfax plants from you and 

 set them out in red clay soil. Every plant lived. 

 I had all the berries that four families could, use 

 and sold SlOo.OO. It does not pay me to use my 

 OT\-n plants. So many of them die that I don't 

 get a g-ood stand. I won't have many berries 

 this year for I used my o^vn plants instead of 

 buj'ing- from you. — Mr. Enos Hayhurst. 



NEW YORK 



Otseg-o Co., X. Y., February 22, 1939. — I 

 have not had the pleasure of ordering- from you 

 since I purchased Fairfax and Dorsett plants 

 the year of introduction. Fairfax is about the 

 one and only berry for me since that time. Dor- 

 sett never much good to me, sets too thickly. 

 Fairfax "^as the only variety I grevi* last year. 

 I picked about 6.00O baskets from one acre and 

 sold sam^e for over SI. 000. Sold nearly all at SS.OO 

 per 32 quart case and believe it or not many 

 berries "weighed 2 oz. I picked one berry S ^o x 

 'o'^o . I am interested in vour neT\' Xorthstar. — 

 Mr. F, L. Horning. 



PENNSYLVANIA 



"Westmoreland Co., Pa., June 13, 1939. — I would 

 like to knoTv if it is too late to put in stra^wberry 



plants. I would like to have about 3.000 Premier. 

 I got that many last spring and we are picking 

 berries by the load. They sure are nice. — Mrs. 



TTm. Simpson, 



INDIANA 



Union Co.. Ind.. April Ist, 1939. — I set 6,000 

 of your Premier plants four years ago and they 

 were the finest I believe could be raised the fol- 

 lowing spring. The crop brought the best prices 

 of any berries that spring, ^'e netted S600 from 

 those plants that spring. — Mr. "Walter P. Stinson. 



ILLINOIS 



TVilliamson Co., III., Jan. 26. 1939. — I am going 

 to set 1,500 Catskill this spring. Set 2,000 from 

 you in 193 7. They are the berries for me. Sure 

 had a fine crop of berries and received 20c per 

 quart at home and the plants are the best I ever 

 sa^w. Send me prepaid price on 1,700 plants. 

 Want them about March 1st. — Mr. Lloyd Krantz. 



MAINE 



Oxford Co., Maine, Mar. 9, 1939. — I purchased 

 1,000 Dorsetts in the spring of 1939 and I cer- 

 tainly had a great stand of berries. Set them* in 

 an old garden plot, the same being such for over 

 150 years. You can imagine what they did. 

 Less than one eigrhth of an acre and realized 

 S72.50 from them last vear. Can't "berry" well 

 kick. — Mr. Frank L. Teague.
