1933. -- GREETINGS - i636 
Well, folks, another year has gone by and we have welcomed in the 
new year. I hope it will have better things in store for us. The past year 
we did not realize as much from our crops’ as we had hoped but still we 
berry-growers have much to be thankful for, as strawberries have been one 
of our best-paying crops and I see no reason to believe that it should not 
continue to be so and would recommend berry-growers to stay in the busi- 
ness and plant about the same acreage so they will have something to sell 
when better prices come, as they surely will, and would suggest planting 
the best varieties which I am listing herewith, and planting them in our 
best land and giving them careful attention as strawberries are a crop that 
responds to a little extra care. It is a crop, too, where all the family can 
help, even the children, and if you can give them a small piece of land and 
let them plant it to berries they will be glad to take care of it (with your 
help at picking time) and I believe you will be surprised at the results and 
the profits will make them more contended to stay on the farm. 
Plants are not as large a crop per acre as last year, but the plants not 
being so crowded in the row have more room to grow and are larger and 
better and prices, too, are cheaper, being the lowest they have ever been 
since I have been in the business. I am glad to advise, however, that I have 
a nice supply of plants in just about all varieties. I have, as you will 
notice, discontinued a few varieties that were not up to standard or not 
as good as others in their season. There are too many varieties and I 
believe just now, at least, we should grow nothing but the best. It is my 
constant aim to grow and ship only plants of the highest quality that are 
true to name and free from disease, packed in the best possible way and 
to give each customer the same kind of treatment I would want to receive 
were I buying plants from them. Your success is my success, therefore, 
when you place your order with me I assure you I will do everything I 
can to make the transaction a paying one for you. 
I thank you for your liberal patronage in the past and for your kind 
words for my plants and service. I am printing just a few of your letters. 
These are appreciated, I can assure you, and please remember I am always 
glad to hear from you. In sending you this, my little salesman, and in 
asking you, through it, for your patronage again this year, I assure you 
your orders will have the same careful attention and that it will be filled 
with the same high-grade plants as in the past. If you have never dealt 
with me you are invited to join the list of successful growers who are 
setting PRYOR’S Quality Plants, for I know you, like them, will be pleased 
with the results. 
Again thanking you for your patronage and wishing you all health, 
happiness and a more prosperous year, I remain, 
Sincerely yours, 
M. S. PRYOR.

Dear Sir: The plants came in fine shape and are growing as finely as one 
could desire, showing they were strong, healthy plants. They have been 
gone over three times with cultivator and hoed once and we began again 
Monday with second hoeing. I want to produce on the 22,000 plants this 
year as much as most persons get on six acres. I had to use my own 
plants in addition to yours, as I did not feel I could buy so many, still I 
wished afterwards I had bought them all of you as I found it a tedious and 
tiresome job. The present sales are going good. I have so far topped the 
market each day and calls for all I will have next week. They like the 
wonderful color and I try to get them up in first-class shape.

P. S.—The average price has been $1.75, none over $2. Mine have brought 
$2.25 and $2.50 each market day. I feel I would not have such nice berries 
if I had not had such fine plants.
