STRAWBERRY TALK. 
The past .season has been considered one of the worst in recent years for grow- 
ing good plants for fruit and for the trade. The continued rain and cold weather 
has made plants in many parts of the country very scarce. We have grown, how- 
ever, by good cultivation ami experienced help a large stock of No. i plants. We 
gave them a thorough spraying with Bordaux Mixture in the spring and fall and 
thev went into winter (juarlers looking the brightest and healthiest of any we have 
ever grown. I.ast .season the Sutherland, Hero, Minute Man, Uncle .Sam, and Mil- 
ler fruited here, and 1 was very much pleased with them. The blo.ssoms were scarce- 
ly injured by the rain or frost, and they produced more large berries than many of 
the standard varieties. 
To those who have not had much experience in growing and marketing straw- 
berries I would say: If you have a market that demands a fancy berry and you wish 
to grow only the largest and the best in quality and will give them good culture, 
plant the Uncle Sam, Minute Man, Miller, Downing’s Bride, Nick Oliiner and Mar- 
garet. If you wish to grow the early vartieties, jilant the Pairfleld, Palmer, Suther- 
land, Hero, Haverland, Dunlap and Clyde. Midscason, Uncle Sam, Minute Man, 
Downing’s Bride, Poconoke, Miller, Margaret, Kmpre.ss and Dewey. Late, Uncle 
Jim, Doram, Klondike, Sample, Gibson, Nick Olinier, Ridgeway, Cliillie and Uncle 
S'lir. 
Thf plants are trimmed of all dead leaves and stems; carefully sorted and grad- 
ed and only the largest and best are retained for shipment. We give you the very 
best; no difference how snrill the order, they must be Ihe best. 
Our plants are equal to the best pedigree plants and are superior for planting 
new beds to those usually grown in the broad matted row. Superior plants produce 
larger and finer fruit. 
Would be pleased to have you include some of the new varieties in your order 
for plants. They come highly recommended ami may prove to be just the berry 
you have wanted. It pa>s to test some of the novelties for 90 per cent, of the stand- 
ard vari^-ties today, ten years ago were novelties. Remember my plants are strictly 
first class and up-to-date comprising the choicest and most promising of the new 
varieties and all of the best and well-teste<l of the standard kinds. 
Thanking you for past favors and soliciting trial orders from new customers, 
I am very truly yours for success,
