STRAWBERRY PLANTS OF QUALITY 



1937 - GREETINGS - 1937 



I am glad to send you my little salesman again (I have no agents) who will toll you 

 about the line lot of plants I have grown for this season. But first of all I want to thank 

 each and every one of you for the business you gave me last season. This is appreciated 

 I can assure you and makes me more determined than ever to give an honest dollar in 

 value for every dollar received and a square deal to all. 



QUALITY is the first consideration for 1987. Berries, and most farm produce, sold 

 for better prices during 1936, and it looks now as if things were definitely on the up 

 grade and believe this year is a good time to set plants, especially the high quality, heavy 

 producing varieties like most of the varieties listed herein. QUALITY always counts and 

 if you can combine quality with quantity you have a money -ma king combination and is 

 the reason many of the varieties I grow are planted in nearly every section of the coun- 

 try. Select one or more of the varieties best suited for your purpose then procure some 

 first quality plants like PRYOR'S healthy, vigorous high land plants, give them good 

 care, and you will be almost sure of success. 



SERVICE and SATISFACTION at FAIR PRICES are other considerations for 1937 

 and is my motto or method of doing business and I would like to take these up one at a 

 time but space forbids. It is my aim and ambition to give prompt and efficient service 

 at all times. I want every customer to be pleased ; I am not satisfied until you are, hence 

 my guarantee — 100% satisfaction or money refunded. I am offering these varieties, as 

 you will note by referring to price list, at very reasonable prices, quality considered. They 

 are not the highest nor yet tl)e lowest, but at a price that is fair to all. A price that en- 

 ables me to give plants the best of care and attention with all the necessary plant foods 

 (fertilizer, etc.) to produce strong vigorous plants that are full of vitality and stamina 

 with only a very small profit added, and it is on these considerations that I bid for your 

 order again this year and I am enclosing order blank and return envelope for your con- 

 venience. If you have never dealt with me I invite you to send me at least a trial order 

 and let me prove to you that I can fill your order to your entire satisfaction. Please re- 

 member friends that it is always a pleasure to serve you and if there is any way I can 

 help you solve your plant problems T would be glad to do so. 



Yours for more and better berries, 



M. S. PRYOR 



SET PLANTS EARLY 



Set strawberry plants early — just as early as the ground can be worked. The na- 

 tural and most sucessful time to set all plants is in the early spring. Every thing in 

 nature takes on new life at this time, and your plants will do much better planted then 

 than at any other time. 



Plants are dormant during the winter and just start putting out new foliage and will 

 stand handling better than at any other time : also there is less foliage and can be packed 

 in smaller packages and transportation will be less. 



Plants set in early spring, before the sun gets hot, will enable them to get started 

 much earlier. Then, there is plenty of moisture at this time, something every plant must 

 have to live and when set under these conditions, if properly set will live almost to a 

 plant and enables the plants to get started good before the hot dry weather sets in. 



Be sure to set your plants early this spring. I would suggest ordering plants shipped 

 a few days before you intend setting (they can be heeled in if necessary) so they will be 

 there ready to set when the weather is just right for setting. 



EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A STRAWBERRY GARDEN 



Strawberries are healthful and should be planted in every garden where you can go 

 out and pick them fresh from the vines any time you want them. In this way you get 

 '"real" strawberry flavor as you will find they have a richer flavor than berries that have 

 been picked 24 to 48 hours and in many instances much longer. 



Then just think of the m.any ways you can serve them — sugared down and served 

 with milk or cream, canned, preserved, jam, in short cake, ice cream — they're fine any 

 way you fix them and no other piece of land of same size and with so little expense and 

 labor will yield as much in satisfaction and profit, and by planting some everbearing 

 plants this spring you can enjoy strawberries this summer and fall. 



Order plants now for your strawberry garden and I will reserve them and send 

 when you say. 200 to 500 plants if given proper care will supply all you can use the 

 whole season thru with some canned for winter use and probably some to sell to your 

 neighbors who will be more than glad to get them.
