Proven Berry Plants 
KNOTT’S BERRY PLACE y < Trees and Vines 
Fruit Trees, Grape Vines, Roses 
and Shrubs 
We are berry specialists, and are glad 
to ship berry plants anywhere. We do 
not ship trees and grapevines, as we 
feel that you can buy these more satis¬ 
factorily from your local nurseryman. 
The expense of packing trees and grape¬ 
vines for shipment is so great that very 
likely your local nurseryman can sell 
them to you just as cheaply, and pos¬ 
sibly cheaper, than we can pack them 
and ship them to you. 
If you live within reach of our nur¬ 
sery, we will be glad to supply you with 
fruit trees, walnuts, grapevines, roses 
or other plants. Both the quality of our 
stock and our prices will appeal to you. 
ASPARAGUS PLANTS 
Mary Washington Asparagus 
Our Washington asparagus plants are 
the finest this year that we have ever 
had to offer. The seed came from the 
famous Libby Ranch. The plants were 
grown quite thinly and are very large 
and very uniform. The best posted 
growers in California are all adapting 
the Mary Washington asparagus because 
it is more prolific, more rust resistant, 
earlier and of finer quality than the 
common varieties. 
For as little as one dollar you can get 
enough plants of this fine asparagus to 
set out a fifty-foot row which will fur¬ 
nish a small family with the finest 
fresh asparagus for several months each 
spring. 
Prices —Extra large one year old 
plants prepaid to you: 10, 40c; 25, 75c; 
50, $1.25; 100, $2.00; 500, $6.00; 1000, 
$10.00. Prepaid to you. Write for prices 
for larger quantities. 
We have a limited number of very 
large two year old plants, suitable for 
the small garden where quick results is 
important, at 75 cents per dozen. 
It is a very good plan to dust the 
asparagus bed with sulphur two or three 
times during the summer as a safeguard 
against rust. This is best done of a 
morning while the plants are wet with 
dew. Usually once a month or six weeks 
is often enough.

Berry Baskets 
We buy our berry baskets by the car¬ 
load, ordering them in the fall so that 
the mills can make them up during the 
dull winter season, and in this way we 
are able to make you very attractive 
prices. 
In ordering baskets be sure to men¬ 
tion whether you want eight-ounce or 
twelve ounce baskets and whether you 
wish them shipped by freight or express. 
Strawberries are all put up in twelve- 
ounce baskets, and nearly all the bush 
berries are put in the eight-ounce size. 
There are still a few growers who put 
blackberries in the larger baskets during 
the part of the season when the prices 
are cheapest. We are using eight-ounce 
baskets for all varieties of bush berries 
and find that the berries carry better, 
keep better and sell for a little more 
money when packed this way. 
Prices —The prices quoted for baskets 
are f.o.b. here. State whether you wish 
them shipped by express or freight.

Gloves for Picking Berries 
We have found that goat skin gloves 
are the only all leather gloves which are 
tough, light, pliable and cheap enough 
to be practicable for berry picking. If 
you cannot get these from your local 
dealers, we can supply them at 60 cents 
per pair, or for $6.25 per box of one 
dozen pairs of assorted sizes, postpaid. 
The price of these at our shed is 50 
cents per pair. These gloves come in 
both men’s and women’s sizes. Please 
state the number of pairs of each wanted 
when ordering. Give the pickers these 
gloves with the fingers cut about half 
off and they will get many more berries 
from inside the vines than without 
gloves, and they will not hang on the 
thorn” like canvas gloves.
