STRAWBERRIES—RASPBERRIES 
As a Money Crop 
That’s what we are all interested in—How much money can I make from an acre 
of Strawberries or Raspberries? We are often asked that question. Frankly, we do not 
know. It all depends on the kind of plants you set, how you set them, care given and 
fertility of your soil. In short, it all depends on you. 
We receive all kinds of reports from our customers stating how many berries they 
picked from an acre and what they sold for. Some make plenty of money, while others 
say, “something is wrong,” because they can’t make any money. We have followed up 
hundreds of these latter cases and nearly always found that they had either dug plants 
from some old worn-out bed or set good plants on some light worn-out sand hill and 
expected a good crop of fruit. It can’t be done. If you will set good plants, and set 
them properly on most any kind of soil, with good fertility, and give them proper culti¬ 
vation, there is no question about profit. 
Don’t forget that the best growers of almost any crop nearly always make a profit. 
Does It Pay to Buy Plants? 
We will leave this matter to your good judgment. There is often a marked gain in 
the invigorating effects that come from a change of soil and climate. Our plants are 
sprayed four to six times during the season, which assures you of getting clean plants 
free from all diseases. 
Our plants are well fertilized, which gives them the heavy root system necessary to 
produce heavy plant rows and big crops. When you receive our plants, they are ready 
for setting as they are properly trimmed before shipping. Whatever you do, get good, 
dependable, rooted plants from some reliable grower and I believe you will continue in 
the berry business. 
Something' to Think About 
Have some berries every year. With the return of better times, you should make 
some good profits. Don’t forget that, no matter how high prices go, you cannot expect 
profits unless you have berries to sell. BETTER BE SAFE THAN SORRY? Berry 
profits may have been low for the past two or three years, but generally they have been 
better than most other crops. You may find that an acre or two of berries will show 
you more profit than a whole farm planted to some other crops. The average farmer, 
allowing us to be the judge, thinks he has no time to care for small fruit. This may be 
true, but we believe he is making a bad mistake. 
This Is Our Salesman 
Please study our prices and compare with other reliable dealers. Don’t overlook the 
fact that we do not try to compete with some growers who offer plants cheaper than we 
do. We are offering plants as cheap as anyone can and give quality. If you want good, 
well rooted plants, true to name, give us your order. We guarantee satisfaction or money 
refunded. 
The 1933 fruiting season was a success on our farms. However, the prices were not 
high, but were higher than 1932 and we expect to see still higher prices for 1934. Hope 
we will not be disappointed. To those who gave us orders last season we wish to say, 
THANK YOU. Come again. 
Sincerely,
