such odd jobs as he can get a pittance for do- 
ing, lives in a hovel, wears poor clothes and 
sees disappointment and gloom everywhere. 
Young man, do you see a moral in this com- 
parison? Look around you and see how many 
"second fiddlers" there are in the berry busi- 
ness in your community. Ask your grocer 
who is growing strictly fancy fruit and you 
will be surprised at his answer. 
Do you not see an opening for a clean, neat 
and profitable business? Don't be a wage 
earner all your life, but get the best piece of 
land you can and stock it with thoroughbred 
plants and pitch in. Don't play second fiddle. 
If there is anything you don't understand 
write me full particulars and my experience is 
at your service. It affords me a world of 
pleasure to give pointers and boost a young 
man into place as "first fiddler" in the berry 
business.

C. A. Cozvan. Madison Co., III. — I will write to you to 
say I received my order this spring in good time and 
splendid condition. I was surprised at such fine and 
well packed stock. I have set all out and have lost only 
two plants. You will receive another order from me 
next spring. I shall take great pleasure in recommend- 
ing your stock. 
I. R. Armstrong, M. D., Kossuth Co., Iowa. — I am 
surprised at the wonderful success you are having in de- 
veloping small fruits of all kinds. You give full partic- 
ulars in your catalogue how to do everything in the line 
of raising small fruits. I am glad that we have such a 
man to lead out and go to the bottom of the science of' 
small fruit raising. In fact, I am always pleased with the 
man who puts brain and nerve in the business he un- 
dertakes, and makes a grand success as you surely have 
done.
