Manchester. (P.) Of large size, resem-

firmer, of a uniform size, holding its own 
throughout the season. 25 cts. per doz., 
50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000.

SPECIAL NOTICE . 
We are heavy growers of small fruits and can supply large lots of plants at low rates ; 
you also get fresh stock that will grow, not dried-up plants that have been packed away. 
Write us for terms on large amounts. Estimates cost you nothing, and it is not our way 
pf doing business to swindle our trade, but to give them good goods for the smallest sum. 
OUR MOTTO : Quick sales and small profits. As we wish to introduce our stock in 
pvery country, we know it is our best advertisement. 
Read testimonials and see what we do by those who deal with us. Try us and see if 
you don’t get the best goods for the least money, and quickest returns. All these points 
tend to build up our trade. Mind, you deal direct with one who every day works in his 
fruit. Our practical experience is worth much to our customers, and we will tell you any 
thing you wish to know, if you will write us. 
Remember, our rates are low; in many cases 50 per cent, less than many nurseries. 
We do not wish our strawberry plants to be placed on the same plane with those 
grown in New Jersey, Delaware and some parts of Maryland. We do not grow such 
stock, hence we do not wish you to compare our rates with such. Our plants are large, 
vigorous and healthy, and when set, you get a good growth. Plants grown on strong soil 
cannot be dug, bunched and packed $s low as gome dealers offer them.
