“The Fresh Atlantic Breeze 
Keeps Our Plants From Disease 
Our plants are grown in the garden 
spot of the world — the Eastern Slio' of 
Md. — where the soil and climate is perfect 
for the growing of Strong, Healthy, 
Vigorous Plants. 
Our plants are bred from the best and 
purest strains — and kept pure from gener¬ 
ation to generation — hence they are called 
Thoroughbred Pj.ants. 
In dealing with us you get the best 
plants that it is possible to grow.

MARYLAND GROWN PLANTS 
are the hardiest plants grown in country. 
They grow all winter in open fields with¬ 
out any mulching. They get a winter 
hardening that makes them much more 
hardier than Michigan plants that have 
to be mulched to save their scalp. Thou¬ 
sands of our most Northern Customers 
testify to this. We can ship any time 
from now until May 1st. 
This picture shows the World's Wonder "— 
the largest berry or own. We hare picked 
berries from this variety that seven pits a 
quart box — piling fail.
