That strawberries contain nearly twice as much Vitamin C, per unit of weight as oranges 
and grapefruit; from two to four times as much as ripe tomatoes? That Vitamin C can not 
be stored in the body? What more delightful way to supply this important item of diet 
than with fresh berries from your own garden or frozen food locker? 
VARIETIES FOR FREEZING 
Among the varieties that have proved satisfactory for freezing are Midland, Sparkle. Catskill, Premier, Fairfax, 
Blakemore, Fairpeake, Tennessee Beauty. Tennessee Shipper. Big Joe and Redstar. 
Remember, however, that any strawberries you have from your own garden or from other sources are good 
frozen if they are good fresh. The fine dessert quality will be held, even though they may not look as good as 
the better freezing kinds.

If they are found to be otherwise, either through a

notify us immediately so that we can refill your order. 
Any claim for poor condition must be made imme-

affect the plants after their arrival, as these things are 
entirely beyond our control. 
WHEN TO ORDER— AND HOW TO SHIP 
ORDER as soon as you have decided what varieties and how many you want. Write plainly, so that we can 
get your name and address correctly for prompt acknowledgment of order and delivery of plants. Be sure to fill 
in your County on the order sheet. 
EXPRESS is generally satisfactory and the best way to ship plants if your order is large or if the distance is 
great. 
PARCEL POST. Generally cheapest and most satisfactory for small shipments and larger shipments in nearby 
states. 
Strawberry plants packed for shipment weigh approximately 4 pounds per 100 plants. Postal charges depend 
upon weight of shipment and postal zone in which you live. From zone guide and rate table below you can
