Fall Strawberries 
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS: 
Read what your favorite paper says about cur Fall Strawberries. 
In the latter part of October, we mailed a sample basket of our best fall 
strawberries to each of the \eading agricultural and horticultural editors and 
writers in various parts of the United States. We herewith print some 
of their replies: 
Office of Farm Journal, 
Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 17, 1911. 
My Dear Mr. Farmer: 
The box of strawberries which you mailed 
to me a few days ago were received in 
surprisingly good order, and were duly in¬ 
spected and enjoyed. I showed the berries 
to Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Atkinson and then 
took them home for my family to taste. 
They certainly were very nice, and I appre¬ 
ciate your courtesy in sending them to me. 
How is the book coming on that I under¬ 
stand that you were getting up for Mr. Jen¬ 
kins, to be published in pamphlet form by 
the Farm Journal Company? Have not heard 
anything about it lately. 
Very truly yours, 
WALTER E. ANDREWS, 
Associate Editor. 
Office of Rural Life, 
Rochester. N. Y„ Oct. 19, 1911. 
Dear Mr. Farmer: 
I am pleased to acknowledge receipt of 
samples of the Francis and Americus Fall 
bearing strawberries. They are certainly fine. 
I have had them photographed* exact size, 
and the photos will appear in our December 
number, together with a descriptive article 
containing the facts you gave in your brief 
letter. I should like, however, a more ex¬ 
tended account of your experiments with 
these berries and the results, with methods 
of culture. The photos are exceptionally 
fine and will reproduce nicely in half-tone. 
Thanking you for the favor received, I am, 
Very truly yours. 
ELMER E. REYNOLDS. 
Editor Rural Life. 
Office of the Ohio Farmer. 
Cleveland, O., Oct. 21, 1911. 
Mr. L. J. Farmer: 
Dear Sir—We have received the package 
of fall-grown strawberries which you sent, 
and thank you very much for giving us a 
chance to see them. It is quite a unique 
sight, and we were surprised at the excellence 
of the quality of these berries. If you have 
reached the point where you can have straw¬ 
berries continuously throughout the late sum¬ 
mer. you have certainly accomplished a won¬ 
derfully valuable work. We have a very 
brief note about these berries in next week’s 
issue of the Ohio Farmer. 
Yours very truly, 
THE EDITORS. 
Office of American Fruits, 
Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 18, 1911. 
Dear Mr. Farmer: 
Box of strawberries arrived this morning 
in excellent condition. They are remarkable. 
They bear out all you say of them. We are 
writing something about them for coming is¬ 
sue. You certainly have a novelty of real 
merit. We congratulate you. 
Very truly yours.

My Dear Mr. Farmer: 
We were quite delighted to get such an 
unexpected whiff of spring at our office to¬ 
day. The berries arrived in splendid state, 
and were much appreciated. The smaller 
berry underneath (Americus) had an espe¬ 
cially delicious flavor. We are greatly in¬ 
debted to you. and shall speak of these ber¬ 
ries in our Rural Home. Do not forget 
us in article for Horticultural issue. It will 
be well to emphasize in that article your suc¬ 
cess in raising these fall berries. 
Verv trulv, 
I EDITOR RURAL HOME.
