Get Your Name on the Pay Roll - - 
of the "New Deal” 
The “New Deal” signifies Change — Changed Plans — 
Changed Systems—Old Standards have fallen—New Standards 
set up. Things we thought unimportant yesterday are proving 
to be big things today. 
Even in 1933 “CERTIFIED” Fruit Plantings gave profit. Home 
Plantings saved money—Bigger Plantings made money.

Plain Talk 
Success with a fruit planting does not just happen. Some 
planters have profit, some have loss. Like almost everything 
else it requires judgment and common sense in following 
proven good practice. 
Extravagant claims in a catalog alone cannot insure success 
for you. Because someone made $1,000.00 per acre from a fruit 
planting does not mean that one can plant any kind, on any 
soil, in a haphazard manner and make $1,000.00 per acre. As 
a matter of fact, under such circumstances he would probably 
have a disappointing loss. 
But it is true that if you have soil good enough to raise a 
garden, you can succeed with fruit and be “On The Pay Roll,” 
if you will observe these four points: 
1. Choose varieties adapted to your location. 
2. Plant “CERTIFIED” stock free from disease. 
3. Secure plants acclimated, that is, grown here in the 
Northwest. 
4. Use reasonable care in planting,—follow our simple 
instructions. 
Choosing Varieties 
There is wide difference of opinion as to the best varieties to 
plant. This is not strange when you consider there are several 
hundred varieties to choose from. 
Here in the Northwest we have different conditions from 
those five hundred or a thousand miles away. Varieties that 
might be the best in the South or East, may not do well here. 
We have endeavored to give you a true picture of the varie¬ 
ties which are producing best here now, and also a description 
of very promising new varieties which are available in limited 
quantities this year and which you should try out. 
Acclimated Plants 
The advantage of securing plants close at hand instead of 
from some distant state is two-fold. You get fresher plants, full 
of vitality and vigor. You get acclimated plants that are already 
adapted to your climatic conditions. These two features alone 
often determine your success with fruit plantings. 
How to Plant 
There is no mystery about growing fruit. If you can raise a 
garden, you can raise fruit. Select good soil, prepare well, plant 
carefully, and cultivate regularly. Complete specific instruc¬ 
tions will accompany each shipment of plants. 
PLANTS 
“CERTIFIED” Plants 
Regardless of the variety of 
plants you choose, it is vitally im¬ 
portant to plant “CERTIFIED” 
plants. By that we mean true-to- 
name plants that have received 
special attention to keep them 
clean and free from disease, and 
which carry the special certificate 
from the State Nursery Inspection 
Department, signifying they have 
had a rigid inspection and are 
certified free from dangerous 
insects, pests, and diseases. 
Choose only “CERTIFIED” 
plants. 
St. Paul, Minn. 
Sept. 1, 1933. 
Gentlemen: 
The inspection staff made 
thorough inspections of your 
strawberry plantings while at the 
nursery and gave some excellent 
reports concerning them. Your 
nursery will be included as one of 
the few certified strawberry grow¬ 
ers in this state, on the list which 
is to be issued this fall. We are 
being particularly careful in 
certification as to freedom from 
virus diseases and nematodes. 
Very truly yours, 
(Signed) T. L. AAMODT,
