Waller Bros. Quality Plants 
Have No Superior 
It is not by accident that WALLER BROS, 
quality plants are the most dependable plants 
that can be bought. They are selected, grown, 
packed, and shipped according to the most ap¬ 
proved scientific methods. Here are a few of 
the reasons why our customers rely upon WAL¬ 
LER BROS, quality berry plants: 
Every “mother” plant that we set in our 
fields is carefully hand selected by an expert. 
All stunted, undersized, shriveled, or otherwise 
inferior plants are culled and immediately de¬ 
stroyed. Sometimes one bad plant can disease 
a whole plot. 
Our plants are carefully and continuously 
cultivated during the growing season. As we 
grow every strawberry plant we sell, 
we know that these plants have re¬ 
ceived proper care while in the field. 
Our plants are dug by skilled work¬ 
ers under the supervision of a trained 
man. There are no broken roots, 
split crowns or other digging defects 
in our plants. 
Upon entering our packing shed 
our plants are inspected, both by our 
inspector and by a state inspector, 
counted, tied in bundles of twenty- 
six (sold as tAventy-five), and labeled. 
So carefully are our plants culled 
and inspected that Ave guarantee 
them to pass inspection in any state 
by an authorized inspector. 
Our plants are shipped the same 
day they are dug in crates especially 
designed to provide them Avith ample 
moisture and ventilation. Not only 
this, the roots of all WALLER BROS, 
plants are packed in damp moss to 
assure you that they Avill not be dried 
or shriveled Avhen you get them. 
Plants so groAvn, culled, packed, 
and shipped must be right. 
Who Pays the Bill? 
When you set inferior plants bought from a 
fly-by-night dealer because they can undersell 
by ten cents on the thousand a reliable plant 
grower—Who Pays the Bill? When the cost 
of setting, cultivation, fertilzer, and the use of 
the land to grow these inferior plants is con¬ 
sidered—How Much- Money Have You Saved? 
When spring comes and the berries are ready 
to harvest—Have You Made Any Profit Off 
These Cheap Plants? 
It costs less to fertilize and cultivate good 
berry plants because their strong system of dis¬ 
ease-free roots are ready to grow when you get 
them. They do not have to be cajoled and pam¬ 
pered by special ploAving and fertilizing. Set 
them on good land and give them 
proper care and cultivation—the 
plants Avill do the rest. Your yield 
Avill repay you ten-fold. 
A SIMPLE PROBLEM 
IN ARITHMETIC 
Problem: If you can save ten cents on the 
thousand by buying cheap plants 
and you are setting ten acres of ber¬ 
ries, 8,000 plants to the acre, how 
much have you saved on the plants? 
Further, if the cheap plants you 
set, which never give the satisfac¬ 
tion that well grown plants give, 
yield only half as much as the qual¬ 
ity plants, have you profited or lost 
by setting cheap plants? 
Again, if it cost twenty per cent 
more to fertilize and cultivate cheap 
plants (counting the cost of cultiva¬ 
tion at $10 to the acre) how much 
have you lost by setting cheap 
plants? 
Answer: Dependable quality plants are the 
cheapest plants that you can set. 
WALLED quality plants are the 
best yield insurance that your money 
can buy.
