2nd. PROVEN, MONEY M.'XKING VARIETIES. Our long experience in the berry 
business has taught us that some varieties of fruit command higher prices on the 
markets than others. We have found that a berry to be profitable must bear good 
quality fruit and have a long fruiting season. We have tested hundreds of varieties of 
Strawberries and have discarded the most of them as they did not come up to our 
standards. We are listing only about 20 varieties of Strawberry plants. You will be 
safe in planting any of them, they are the recognized leaders. Our new berry Cooper is 
the only new variety we have ever offered. It is sure to become the leading variety and 
we want everyone to order Cooper this season. 
3rd. BEST PLANT LAND IN THE WORLD. There is no land in the world that will 
produce better plants than we grow right on the western shore of Lake Michigan. The 
soil is right and the climate is perfect, the long growing season matures every plant to a 
high state of perfection. It is an assured fact where any particular fruit reaches its 
highest state of perfection, and is grown with the least trouble, that is where you can 
procure the plants of the most productive nature. Our ideal conditions give us a big 
advantage in growing good plants. 
4th. BEST PROPAGATING METHODS. However, with all the above natural con- 
ditions in our favor it requires skill and the utmost care to propagate perfect plants.

.5th. PLANTS DUG AND PACKED CAREFULLY. This is the most vital part of 
getting the plants to you in perfect condition. Our system of digging and handling the 
plants is perfect. By our up-to-date system of digging the plants we save all the roots 
and all the freshness and vigor. Our plg,nts reach the packing house perfectly fresh 
and full of life. We do not store them but they are packed from day to day as dug: 
Our plants will reach you in good condition. It is not unusual for them to be on the 
road for two weeks or more and open up perfectly fresh and vigorous. 
The above features are the safeguards you get when buying plants of us. They may 
seem of small importance but in reality they represent the difference between your 
success and failure.
