Because they afford not only one of the 

 greatest dehghts of the table but offer for the 

 smallest space of ground available the most 

 desirable product that nature has given us. 



As a source of profit to one interested in 

 the cultivation of the land strawberries occu- 

 py a high place with the professional or large 

 grower through a season which extends the 

 whole year around depending upon location. 



In view of this, great expense, time and 

 trouble can be eliminated if the stock is chos- 

 en with a view to long, healthy plant life, 

 true type and abundant productiveness. 



The plants described herein may be pur- 

 chased with the assurance that the greatest 

 care has been exercised in the selection of 

 the mother plants as to trueness of type and 

 has been cultivated so as to assure strong, 

 healthy plants for our customers.
