The strawberry plants were duly re- i 
ceived in fine order, and if we have rain 
soon, I think they will all live ; but it is 
very dry here. Ship the rest when you 
think best to do so ; it will be all right.

Gloversville, N. Y. 
Your plants were received promptly and 
in first-class order— only one pot broken. 
The plants were fresh and look well.

X am much pleased with them.

The plants were received Saturday, aud 
I was in Johnstown that day when they 
arrived. I am more than pleased with 
them. They just look like growing by the 
original stalk. I know they can’t help but 
grow. Abram Hostetler. 
Greenfield, Ind. 
l^lants arrived on time and in good con- 
dition. Think all will live; if not, it will 
not be your fault, as they were nicely 
packed. I will want more in spring.

CRATES AND BASKETS. 
For our trade who are anxious to obtain the cheap crates we have described in past 
years, we have come to the conclusion to manu- 
facture both crates and baskets. 
This crate is used by all berry growers of any 
i, consequence in this country, and is pronounced 
the best for that purpose in existence. The slats 
c or rails are one inch in height, thus giving you 
plenty of room to fill baskets rounding full, and 
still the fruit will not be mashed. Chicago com- 
c mission men say: “Berries packed in your crates 
come to us in better condition than from any other 
a part of the country, the same distance.” This 
crate is about three inches higher than most others, 
but is neat and handy, holding 32 qts. , or one bush- 
el. Each, 50 cents; filled with baskets, 75 cents'; 
per 100, $70. 
BASKETS. 
Our baskets are made from clear poplar, and are 
as smooth as any of the highest price. They are so made as to not let even the smallest 
raspberry through the corners. Many have asked how we could put up a basket of such 
quality at the low price asked. They have ample open space to admit air for long ship- 
ments', and in every way are the best. Put tfp in bales of 500 and 1,000. Price, F. O. B. : 
1.000, $7; 5,000, $6.50 per 1,000; 10,000, $6 per 1,000. 
Second grade, good for shipping as the first grade, but not so strong. 1,000, $5.50; 
5.000, $5 per 1,000.

FRUIT GROWERS, ATTENTION ! 
Never in the history of journalism was so valuable a journal published for the interest of fruit grow- 
ers as American Farm and Horticulturist. Matthew Crawford says: “It is worth far 
more than it costs. ” Many of our subscribers say “ it is worth from Si to $5 every issue." Every reader 
of this catalogue should have it. It tells which varieties of small fruits are the best. Our articles are all 
written expressly for our journal by our subscribers— from men of practical experience. We commence 
this year with over six times the subscribers we had one year ago. We intend the coming year to make 
our journal more valuable and interesting than ever before, and all it costs is 2 5 cents per year. Each 
number contains twenty pages, and some pages contain colored illustrations. Send your subscription at 
once and commence with the January number. Address,
