Berry Growing is a Profitable and Pleasant 
Occupation 
A large amount of money is easily made from 
a few acres of berries, if you get good plants 
and take care of them, and we do aim to grow 
the best. If you could see all of the letters we 
get from our customers, (if you notice they are 
scattered all over the Union), you will see that 
It Is "not necessary that you live next door to us 
to get plants that will grow. And if you will 
read these letters carefully you will see what 
they say in regards to our plants being the best. 
These letters are sent to us by patrons who have 
bought plants of us and elsewhere. These are 
voluntary letters, not one has been asked to 
write, and every letter is Just as we publish 
them. We have given you the exact Post Office 
address and the date they were written to us. 
It is gratifying to us to receive them, and we 
think it is our duty to let you know how well 
we succeed. We are surely glad to get them, 
and they show you that you are safe in placing 
your order with us. We have just given you a 
few from different sections of our country. 
We are receiving requests for catalogs from 
Italy, Holland, Mexico, Cuba, Philippine Islands, 
etc. If these people so far away write us there 
must be a reason. 
It has always been our aim to grow the best, 
to pack and ship same to reach you in the best 
possible condition. 
Our long experience in shipping plants has 
enabled us to get them to you in fine growing 
condition. 
We have succeeded in supplying plants that 
have given the best of .satisfaction in every 
section of our land, have always striven to give 
full money's worth to our customers, and will do 
the same for you. You will always get your 
money's worth, in good plants and fair treat- 
ment, if you will deal with us. 
Easy to Grow 
You will have no trouble to make them grow, 
as we guarantee safe arrival, in good condition. 
You are assured of fresh stock. If same does 
not appear so when it arrives at youi' station or 
the package is broken or in any way it does not 
look right draw the attention of your express 
agent to the fact and have him note on your 
bill the condition it arrived in. 
■ Safe Arrival 
With every shipment we make we take the 
greatest of care to have these plants get to you 
in perfect condition. They are grown and packed 
to reach you safely. Distance cuts no figure. 
Easy Money 
The plants that we grow are grown with a 
purpose to produce large crops of berries of 
extra large size, fine flavor and color. If you 
want some of this easy money we know of no 
better way than to get a good sized order of 
our plants this spring. 
Need More Fancy Berries 
There is no market but that will take at good 
prices all the fancy fruit it can get hold of, and 
you can easily supply them with the same If 
you just make the right start. Our well grown 
plants make it easy. 
Ask Neighbor if in Doubt 
If you wish to settle the question of soil and 
the varieties to plant ask a neighbor or some- 
one who has had some experience with berries. 
If you get no help from that source write to us 
and we will gladly give you the benefit of our 
long experience in that line free. 
Give Away Your Catalog 
We don't know of any better way you can do 
missionary work than to find someone who is 
not already a customer of ours and give them 
your catalog. We will send you another brand 
new one gladly and will be ever so much obliged 
to you besides. There is nothing goes so far 
as a personal word of recommendation. You 
have lots of neighbors who have never heard 
of us and you have others who may have. Now, 
a personal word of endorsement from you 
would go a long ways toward making them 
customers. If you have enjoyed our catalog 
and feel that you ought to give a word of en- 
couragement and help, this is the best way you 
can possibly do it. We get hundreds of orders 
every year from people who tell us that they 
are using a catalog borrowed from one of our 
customers. Every order helps.
