To Our Customers and Other Friends 



We Kayiior IJios. (Jju-k and Bob) have been 

 in this strawberry nursery business since it 

 was founded in V.)'2{i by our father. Our busi- 

 ness has srown steadily and in order to main- 

 tain our leadership we have a(Uled a new mem- 

 ber to the firm. We are pleased to introduce 

 you to Dr. W. F. Jeffers. formerly professor of 

 plant patholojiy at the Tniversity of Mary- 

 land. Since llKit) he has been workinj^- closely 

 with the scientific phases of strawberry pro- 

 duction to improve plant and fruit (piality. 

 Dr. Jeffers' experience with production of a 

 wide ran,i,^e of i)lant material will help us in 

 our constant efforts to provide you with the 

 best i)ossil)le nursery stock. 



Kayner liros., Inc.. has always been a leader 

 in progressive agriculture. We have kept pace 

 with modern advancements that enable us to 

 supply our customers with better planting 

 stock. Because of our nearness to the U. S. 

 Dept. of Aj-ricuUure I'lant Industry Station at 

 iJeltsville. Md., we are in a very favorable po- 

 sition to take advantage of the results of agri- 



cidtural research. We co-operate closely with 

 both Federal and State agencies in testing- 

 new strawberry selections, in growing virus- 

 free plants, and in various other experimental 

 studies. We are proud of our leadership in 

 the production of high quality, Virus-Free, 

 true-to-name nursery stock. 



It is our sincere intention to provide you 

 with the best plants obtainable and at a rea- 

 sonable price. If we fail in either respect we 

 hope you will let us know. Our business is 

 dependant upon satisfied customers and we 

 hope to C(mtinue to expand our steadily in- 

 creasing list of such friends. 



This year we have a very good supply of 

 nearly all varieties. July was hot and 'Iry 

 but during August there was abundant rain- 

 fall which develo|)ed strong plants with sturdy 

 root systems. Since most of our strawberry 

 planting stock is maintained under virus-free 

 conditions you can be assured that they are 

 strong and healthy. Likewise all of our other 

 plant material is guaranteed to be of the high- 

 est quality.
