there may be as much 
difference in quality of plants as there is in price. You may see in one cata- 
logue 1000 strawberry plants of a certain variety offered for $1.25. (I have seen 
them offered as low as that). You will turn to another catalogue and you may 
see the same variety listed at $4.00 per 1000 “1000 Brandywine strawberry 
plants’ and “1000 Brandywine strawberry i lant's’’ look exactly alike in print, 
but when you see the object and not merely the name in print there is some¬ 
times a very great contrast, as for instance in above photograph both plants are 
of the Glen Mary variety. If one party were offering Glen Mary Strawberry 
plants at $2.00 per 1000 and furnishing plants similar to those at the right of 
above illustration and another were offering Glen Mary plants at $4 00 per 1000 
and furnishing plants like the vigorous healthy plant at the left of illustration 
which would be the cheaper? Which would you buy if you were looking at 
the plants when you bought? Now I do not wi.-h to be understood to say that 
all my plants are as large as the o* e illustrated on the left or that all of any 
that yow might buy ever so cheap would be as small as the little plant to the 
right, but I wish to show that ihere is a big difference in plants as well as in 
prices and it is not always and in fact it seldom happens that the cheapest 
plants per 1000 are really the cheapest in the end. Good plants are what we all 
want and the best is none too good.
