And CUoMUed BuiUieAl pMiLcied. 



Greetings: — We wish to thank our friePxds and cus- 

 tomers for the fine orders we received the past sea- 

 son. We trust we will receive your orders for 

 "Perdue's Best Quality" strawberry plants again this 

 year of 1941. We have the nicest stock of plants we 

 ever produced in my 41 years of "Successful straw- 

 berry plant culture."

 1. Excellent Growing Season: Iha season of 1940, 

 in this locality, was all that could be desired for 

 growing the best quality strawberry plants with the 

 result that we have a large and fine stock of vigor- 

 ous, well rooted, very large size plants; strictly true 

 ton name. 



2. Scientific Methods of Cultivation are used to pro- 

 duce 'Terdue's Best Quality Strawberry plants." W^e 

 have a very hardy stock of plants which leads to 

 greater production, better consumer demand and 

 larger profits to the grower. 



3. Sure to Grow: Never before have we had a fin- 

 er stock of plants. Every phase of the business is 

 conducted at all times so that my custom.ers shall 

 enjoy the greatest satisfaction. We keep in close 

 touch with all of the developments for producing 

 strawberry plants and strawberries. I was literally 

 born and brought up in the strawberry and straw- 

 berry plant business. 



4. Practical Experience: My father was a pioneer 

 strawberry grower of Maryland, having cultivated 

 this crop for market as early as the year 1870; there- 

 fore I have enjoyed an enviable experience connected 

 with all the different phases of strawberry and 

 strawberry plant culture. 



5. Best Varieties. Testing hundreds of different 

 varieties throughout my long experience as a grower 

 of strawberries has taught ma to select only the 

 very best and most profitabl? varieties in cultivation. 

 We are offering the ten best varieties for this sea- 

 son's planting. If any variety not listed in this 

 catalog is desired, write for prices on amount of 

 plants wanted. 



6. Inspections, We have a double inspection of our 

 strawberry plant fields by our State Nursery Inspect- 

 ors. The fiist inspection in the month of September 

 and another inspection later on in the season. This 

 insures the customer of getting only healthy, disease 

 free plants. 



7. Vision and Foresight. Do not become discourag- 

 ed at the low price that prevailed for strawberries 

 and other kinds of fruit this year. It does not mean 

 that this will continue; higher prices will prevail in 

 the near future. Now is the time to set strawberry 

 plants and prepare for a cycle of higher prices.
