Why Order Plants From Knight? 
OUR SPECIAL METHODS OF PROPAGAT¬ 
ING AND GROWING INSURE BIG CROPS 
OF BIG BERRIES. The plants which we use in 
setting our new patches are all selected with the 
greatest care. In other words, they are “the cream 
of the cream,” proved out by years of consecutive 
growing. So careful is our inspection that no weak 
or imperfect plants are permitted to be the mother 
plants of the stock we send you. We set out our 
Strawberry patches in the spring. The plants make 
their growth of runners and new plants during the 
fast growing season of summer and early fall. 
The following spring we dig up the whole row. 
The mother plant and the smaller and weaker 
young plants are all thrown away, thus only the 
best selected stock is sent out to the trade. You, 
therefore, not only receive selected stock; but the 
plants are produced from mother plants that have 
never borne fruit. 
KNIGHT’S “PURE-BRED” PLANTS are so 
carefully dug, that the entire root systems are pre¬ 
served. Wire-bound crates of different sizes, 
baskets and packages take care of strawberry 
plants, and smaller orders of cane plants. Large 
orders of cane plants are packed in strong boxes and 
barrels. Sphagnum moss, secured in carload lots in 
Wisconsin, is the packing material. Through long 
experience we have learned how damp this moss 
must be and just how to pack for different dis¬ 
tances. Accordingly, wherever our customers live, 
the plants will reach even the most remote destina¬ 
tions in perfect condition. 
This is of the utmost importance to you. Who¬ 
ever you patronize should have this knowledge, 
gained only by long experience, for many failures 
with berries can be traced to lack of careful pack¬ 
ing. Often improperly packed plants fail to pro¬ 
duce, even when they still retain sufficient vitality 
to live. 
FRESHLY DUG AND CAREFULLY 
PACKED. We could fill several pages quoting 
enthusiastic letters from customers in nearly every 
state in the Union, complimenting us upon efficient 
packing, and the safe arrival of our shipments. 
These letters did not just happen. In fact, nowhere 
is the result of our years of experience more evi¬ 
dent than in our careful methods of digging and 
packing.
