Friends, do you fully realize the wonderful opportunities in store for the fruit growers? 
During this period of readjustment, when the prices of grain and other products are 
tumbling, berry prices are holding their own and in many instances have been higher than 
ever before. Strawberries, 40 cents per quart; raspberries, 50 cents per quart; grapes, 12 
cents per pound; those were the prices the consumer paid for the 1921 crop and there was 
not nearly enough to supply the demand. Berry growers are making Big Money and their 
prospects for the future are bright indeed. Every town of several thousand inhabitants 
affords a wonderful market for berries and no matter where you are located, you can 
easily dispose of all the fruit you can grow at big prices. The demand for fruits for home 
use is greater each season as there are so many different ways in which fruit can be used 
to take the place of other foods. 
If you have any conception of the enormous amounts of ice cream and soft drinks 
consumed in this country annually, and when you realize that each drink, and dish, is 
composed partly of fruit in some form or other, it should become very plain to you that 
you must grow all the fruit you possibly can to get in on the Big Profits of the Berry 
Growers. 
National prohibition has created a wonderful demand for fruits and fruit juices. 
Congress recently passed laws permitting every home owner or head of a family 200 
gallons of fruit juice or unfermented wine per year for personal or home consumption. 
We predict that the demand for fruit, created by the passage of this law, will cause berry 
and grape prices to soar to unusual heights next season and in the years to follow. 
Cheap berry prices are a thing of the past. The public at large have discovered the 
wonderful health giving qualities of fruits, and berries in some form or other are served 
with nearly every meal. This in addition to the enormous amount of fruit required for the 
luxuries such as ice cream, fruit juices and soft drinks, has opened a tremendous market 
for fruits. The profits for the berry growers have been enormous — many of our customers 
report incomes of more than $1,000.00 per acre, and where a good local trade is supplied 
as much as $1,500.00 per acre has been reported. ' 
We urge you to consider the above facts carefully. You have become accustomed to 
big prices for your crops for the past several years, and if vou wish to make the income 
of the past you must plant heavily to fruits as their prices will continue high while other 
products will get back to normal. 
We want you to read our catalog carefully— It will show you our method of doine 
business, how we grow our plants, our safeguards for you in packing and handling them 
You can rest assured that you will get only large, healthy plants of the highest fruiting 
qualities when ordering from us. ^ 
Yours very truly, 
STEVENSVILLE NURSERIES.
