To Our Customers and Other Friends 



It is with pleasure we send you this catalog. In this book we do 

 our best to describe the plants and trees we have grovm for your 

 planting needs. Our strawberry plants are all grown on land that 

 is fumigated in the fall, and twice more in the growing season to 

 control all nematodes that may be in the soil. They are propagated 

 in a screen house to be completely Virus-Free, then grown in isolated 

 fields and dusted every two weeks throughout the growing season with 

 Parathion to control aphids that transmit the Virus disease. 



Our blueberry plants are also propagated from our own com- 

 mercial fields, so we know they will be heavy producing strains of 

 all the leading varieties. The other items listed in this book are 

 growing under rigid inspection methods to insure you top quality stock at all times. 



We want to thank the thousands of customers who made 1967 the largest year in Rayner Brothers history. 

 We do hope you are all successful with your berries and fruits.

We can ship your plants by Parcel Post, United Parcel Service, Air Frelght-orHBxFrre8»-,-Greyhe»H4- 

 Bus, or R. E. A. Express. 



PARCEL POST. To simplify the charges we have found that it cost about 10% of the cost of 

 the plants for transportation and handling, with a minimum of 50c. This has worked out very well. On 

 orders west of the Mississippi the cost is 15% of the cost of the plants ordered with a minimum of 75c. 



UPS. United Parcel Service is a private parcel delivery service. Generally delivery is faster by 

 UPS than by Parcel Post. Packages are delivered by a uniformed driver who must obtain a signature. 

 If your address is RFD or box, please indicate name of road or street. There is a postage and handling 

 charge of 10% of the order with a minimum of 50c. This service can be used only in the following states:

AIR FREIGHT. On all large orders this is the fastest way to ship plants and has been very satis- 

 factory for many customers. It does cost more than Parcel Post or Express but gives very fast service. 

 Shipping charges are paid when plants are received. 



GREYHOUND BUS. We have shipped a lot of plants by bus, and if you are convenient to a bus
