 Read Why It Pays to Buy Perdue's "BEST QUA- 

 LITY" Strawberry Plants. 



1. Perdue's Nurseries are located on the Eastern 

 Shore of Maryland in one of the largest strawberry 

 pioducing sections in the world on U. S. Highway 

 i>i umber 113, near Showell, four miles north of Ber- 

 lin, Lid. and about four miles south of Md. and Del. 

 line. 



2. Ferdue's plants are produced on a selected type 

 of soil especially prepared and adapted to growmg 

 the very best type of vigorous, large size, yellow 

 rooted plants of the best quality obtainable. 



3. Proven Producers, Perdue's plants have an un- 

 excelled record of over 35 years of successful straw- 

 berry production in all sections of the U. S. A. where 

 they are cultivated for commercial purposes, market 

 gardens, or for home gardens, in producing the finest 

 quality of strawberries. 



4. No cold storage; Perdue's plants are fresh dug 

 from the fields and are not allowed to become dry or 

 wilted befor they are packed for shipmnt. Under 

 no circumstances do we deviate from this practice. 



5. Perdue's Plants are packed in slatted crates with 

 plenty of damp moss, so they will arrive in perfect 

 condition for planting in your fields or gardens. 



6. Perdue's Plants are definitely true to name and 

 properly labeled. You are sure of getting the varie- 

 ty of plants you ordered. All plants are well cleaned 

 up and tied in bundles of 25 plants each. 



7. I am a grower and not a dealer in strawberry 

 plants and have a very large acreage of them grow- 

 ing here in my nurseries under my personal super- 

 vision. I grow no other kind of Nursery Stock. 



8. Prices of Perdue's "Best Quality" strawberry 

 plants are very reasonable and will give as good or 

 better results than other plants that you will pay 

 higher prices for and much better results than cheap 

 plants. Note prices of each variety on pages 8 and
