presenting tliis Catalogue we feel assured that it is worthy of your 
II attention ; and a careful reading of its pages will convince you that we 
have omitted many novelties we have known to be worthless, while you 
will find almost all standard as w'ell as new varieties of merit truthfully des- 
cribed. 
Our desire is to consult not only the wants of the commercial planter, but 
also reach the amateur and moderate planter, who wishes to grow enough fruit 
for family u.se of the varieties best suited for his purpose, and in the preparation 
of this catalogue no pains have been spared to make it as accurate and easily 
understood as possible. 
.til our plants are grown on verj- rich .soil, and receive the highest care and 
cultivation. This tends to give a very superior system of root growth, and 
plants well rooted give gratifying results in fruit and plant growth. 
Our trade has grown wonderfully. Last season we ran short of many 
varieties of strawberry plants and several orders had to be returned. This sea- 
son we have greatly increa.sefl our facilities by having larger patches and more 
varieties. 
We have shipped plants to nearly every .state and territory, and to several 
places in Canada : distance counts for nothing except time ; no matter where 
von live
