TO MY CUSTOMERS 
The past season has been one of the best in recent years for growing good 
plants for the fruit and for, the trade. In some parts of the state the plants were in- 
jured by the severe drouth and' but little growth was made in this section. We 
were greatly favored with plenty of rain. A better growing season could hardly be 
desired. The result is we have a large stock of No. i plants. 
My plants are grown from new beds and on soil that is heavily fertilized. 
They were thoroughly sprayed in the spring with Bordeaux mixture soon as the 
mulch was removed, and again several times through the growing season. The 
runners are carfully laid in July from 8 to to inches apart and the spaces between 
the plants are not allowed to mat. The last runners are cut in September, thus elim- 
inating all small plants. 
The men who help me pack the plants often inquire the reason why the plants 
received from other growers are so much inferior to those we send out. The answer 
is plants grown by our method are far superior to those usually grown in the broad 
matted row where you have thousands of plants to the square rod. 
My plants are equal to the be.st peiligree plants and superior plants produce 
larger and finer fruit. Plant only the best and you will be pleased with the result 
in dollars and cents. Succe.ss in a great measure depend.s on getting large, fine 
healthy plants, strictly pure and true to name, and this I can warrant my plants. 
For lack of time I am compelled to omit some of the unsolicited testimonials 
received last year from those who bought their plants of me. Should any of my 
new customers desire to be informed as to the quality of the stock sent out, I will 
gladly refer them to some of the principal berry growers, quite often in their own 
town, who bought their slock of me, and write that my plants are much superior to 
those they have purchased of other parties. 
I would be pleased to have your order for any plants you mty need on my list. 
Thanking you for past favors and soliciting trial orders from new customers, 
I am very truly yours for success, 
C. \V. GRAHAM.
