VICTORY GARIX^ 
EXPERIENCES 
Lebanon Co., Pa., Feb. 14, 1944, I bought 300 Fairfax 
plants from you several years ago, and nobody could 
persuade me to plant any other kind anymore. They 
are the perfect berry for the home garden. Thank- 
ing you most cordially for remembering me with a 
catalog each year, and hoping to hear from you. I am 
Francis M. Ludwick 
Monroe Co., N. Y.. August 14, 1944. T never thought anything 
could divert interest in growing flowers, but since I started 
raising strawberries two years ago I find that they can provide 
just as much interest and pleasure. Friends who formerly praised a lovely flower specimen, now exclaim over 
the beauty and size of the berries I grew from your healthy plants. I gathered 150 quarts this year from 125 
plants and I have another bed of the same size for 1945. I permitted these plants to set four runners each 
and to date they are nearly the same size of the mother plants. 
Mrs. Frank Stein 
Marion Co., Ind.. April 14, 1944. We received the plants Tuesday. They came in good condition. Thanks a 
million. Berries are selling for 40c a pint in our city market so we have to try to keep ahead of them one step 
by raising our own. Last year I sold a lot off of our four rows in the garden. Yours for success and always 
good plants. 
Mrs. H. J. Eickhoff 
Norfolk Co.. Mass., March 9, 1944. The two varieties I wanted (Fairfax and Catskill) are fine berries, large and 
flavor excellent. One trouble I could not get enough. Last year I could have sold twice as many; the man I sold 
them to would send to me twice a day for berries, he'd have ninety quarts sold in less than three hours and 
this is a small town. Even when they were canning size they still wanted them. Mr. Harry P. Bennett 
Schuyler Co., N. Y., Jan. 24th, 1944. We have been Alien customers for twelve 
years, we think, and had our first failure last year, no fault of the plants. We had 
a beautiful crop from our 1942 planting and it was very profitable. I made arranqe- 
ments with the local store to sell the crop. The grocer was new to our town and 
one day I said, "Own up, you never sold such nice berries," He answered, 
"I never saw such nice berries." From 600 Premier, Catskill and Fairfax my 
profit was $129.00. 
Ruth L. Caywood 
Haywood Co., N. C, Feb. 14. 1944. Last spring, I picked all the berries I could 
use and sold over seventeen dollars worth. Half of the plants were bearing for 
their second season. My strawberries afford me a wonderful pastime as well as a 
profitable one. I'd advise everyone to have a small berry patch. My opinion 
is that your plants just qan't be beat. Richard L. Roberts 
Lewis Co., W. Va., March 27, 1944. The plants I bought from, you have been 
fine. We have had the most nice berries. Now I want to try some more. You 
can send these as soon as you can. The quicker I get the plants out the better 
they will grow. ^^^^ Sj^^l^^^ 
Saint Francois Co., Mo., April 10, 1944. I want to tell you the plants from you 
are the finest plants I ever bought and I am so pleased with them. I set them 
out and they are all growing fine and haven't lost a one so far. Don't think I will. 
I sure am happy over them and will never buy plants from anyone but you from 
now on for they are the most wonderful plants I ever saw. Thank you so much. 
Mrs. Eunice Rieppel 
BERRIES THIS YEAR 
"When the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder's in the shock," 
you can still be picking berries from plants set this spring. Everbearing 
varieties (see page 16) set in March or April, will start bearing in late 
July or August this year and continue bearing until freezing weather. 
Give Everbearers a spot in your Victory Garden!
