Keith's Plants different 
NO SPECIAL SOIL OR CARE REQUIRED 
With Keith’s plants you can grow 
money-making crops of big, beauti¬ 
ful berries. 
Why Keith’s Plants 
Grow and Hear and Keep It Up 
From the time Keith’s plants take root in 
our ideal strawberry plant soil, they have 
all the right kind of plant foods they can 
absorb, making them as vigorous, strong 
and thrifty as Mother Earth can produce. 
Plants of this kind are as essential in 
bringing about big, bumper crops of ber¬ 
ries as seeds are in growing large profit¬ 
able crops of grains, vegetables, etc. 
When there’s $500 to $800 per acre to be 
made in growing strawberries, set only 
the best. Don’t waste your time on cheap 
plants—they are the most expensive in 
the end. 
No Nursing Along Needed 
After They Are Set Out 
Keith’s special-grown plants do not have 
to be fed-up after you set them in the 
ground. They are just like a well-cared- 
for horse—capable of starting work for 
you at once. They have been “fed their 
oats” here at our Nursery, and when you 
set them cut, they get started quickly, 
and at once they are growing, giving you 
a strawberry bed you like to show your 
neighbors and write to the papers about. 
Ordinary plants do not have pep enough 
to start off like Keith’s special-grown 
strawberry plants. 
Keith’s Plants Most Profitable 
Our Special-Grown Strawberry plants are just like a well- 
fed cow or a White Leghorn hen . . . ready to give you a 
full pail of milk or “an egg-a-day” at once. You want the 
very best obtainable for they are by far the cheapest in the 
long run. That is the kind of plants we furnish you— not 
how cheap but how good. It won’t take any more of your 
time to set out and care for Keith’s dependable Special- 
Grown plants than it will inferior, cheaper sorts. It will 
cost you just as much to prepare your soil, set and care for 
poor plants as it will our good, strong ones. 
No hanging around half the summer waiting for Keith’s 
plants to get rooted and established. They get busy 
QUICK. They have the “pep” in them to do it. 
Your plants are the smallest cost item in growing straw¬ 
berries. Why make the common mistake of trying to save 
on cost and sacrifice the quality and productiveness of 
Keith’s high grade Special-Grown plants? 
“Cheap plants are a poor buy at any price.” 
^ Your 
Protection 
For Your Protection 
None Genuine 
Without This 
Label 
Of course you 
realize that, with 
the large num¬ 
ber of plants we 
handle every 
season, we can 
not do all the 
work ourselves. 
We have to de¬ 
pend upon hired 
help and we are 
very fortunate 
along this line in 
getting those 
who are efficient. 
We hold each 
and everyone re¬ 
sponsible. This 
little tag shown 
here is only one of the ways we make help feel responsible. Note 
that each packer has a number and if anything goes wrong we can 
easily find who to hold responsible, therefore, more care and better 
service is given you by our packers. 
OUR EMPLOYEES ARE HELD 
STRICTLY RESPONSIBLE. 
AH our vitalized plants are tied in bunches 
of 26 plants. Each bunch has attached a label 
similar to the above. Return the label to us if you 
^find anything wrong with the plants or count. 
Also note that “none is genuine Without This Label.” This protects 
you against getting anything but the best. When you buy Keith’s 
Vitalized Strawberry Plants you are protected by this little label. 
Keith’s Plants Shipped Half Around the World 
We are called upon by customers to ship our Vitalized Strawberry plants all over

Pack Their Plants Right 
Our New Method A Wonderful 
Success 
We are always on the lookout for 
the best interests of our customers. 
We do everything possible to have 
our plants reach you in the best of 
condition. It took four years of ex¬ 
perimenting to develop our system 
of packing plants— The Keith Way. 
Special wire-bound, ventilated crates 
and fibre-board cartons were per¬ 
fected to suit our special methods. 
And now we can ship plants any¬ 
where and have them arrive in tip¬ 
top growing condition. In these 
special crates and cartons, the 
plant roots are embedded in a _ 
special damp moss with the 
tops exposed to the air—as 
near a natural growing con¬ 
dition as possible, only the jgs 
roots are embedded in moss 
instead of soil. t
