I9I3 GREETING. 1912 
We extend to our frienrls and patrons, old and new, our most hearty greet- 
ings and wish them all a prosperous New Year. 
In presenting herewith our new Catalogue, we wish to express the desire that 
it will fill the purpose for which it was written. 
It is through the complete and thorough -goiug nature of the instructions and 
advice, and other aids we extend, that we owe the extraordinary growth of pat- 
ronage, which calls for an annual output of plants of such magnitude as we have 
indicated. 
The season of 1911 being so dry, caused such a curtailment of the plant snp_ 
ply, makes it certain that there will be relatively small area set to strawberry 
plants in 1912. 
Notwithstanding the great shortage of plants, it will be observed that onr 
prices haven't been increased any at all, because we realize that our customers 
should not back the cost of the shortage of plants. 
Our plants are strong, vigorous, well-rooted; and in every respect they are 
packed by experienced packers and superintended by us. 
We know of no other crop that pays as well as the strawberry crop. Thous- 
ands of dollars have been brought into this section of the country through straw- 
berry culture. 
Where there is a will and a little push one will succeed. The time to begin 
growing strawberries is now, and when you get this Catalogue start thinking 
where to plant your strawberry patch, and at the same time set down and order 
your supply of plants from us. 
We wish you to introduce our catalogue to others who have never been our 
customers. We also wish to advise that ) OU are taking no chances in dealing with 
us. 
Plants are shipped under the inspection laws required by different States. 
Thanking you for what you have said to others about us. 
May happiness and prosperity be with you all, is our wish, .\gain we thank 
\oii. Yours very respectively, 
G. E. BUNTING.
