We shall issue a new catalogue in January, giv- 

 ing full description of the old and new varieties. 

 Our customers for strawberrj' plants cover every 

 state in the Union. We can dig most every month 

 during the winter and spring, except sometimes 

 in January and February. Our p'ants are tied in 

 bundles of 25 each, packed m moss in the very best 

 manner in crates especially designed for this 

 purpose 



We exercise the greatest care in keeping our 

 plants true to name. Our Mr. G. A. Harrison giv- 

 ing tiiis part of the business his personal attention 

 during growing season and packing season, being 

 associated with the growing of strawberries for a 

 lifetime, enables him to discover the difference be- 

 tween new aud old varieties so that when anv mix- 

 ture might occur from transplanting it is quickly 

 observed, and the\' are chopped out. Our plants 

 are grown on land especially suited for this pur- 

 pose with sand\' loam and a good clay sub-soil, 

 which gives the plant a good vigorous root and a 

 strong crown, and not an extremely long-rooted 

 and a ver\- slim-necked plant.
