THE PLANSBUBGH & POTTER CO. CATALOGUE. 
the largest on our grounds last year. The finest, most productive and the 
firmest of its class, but the season was too wet for all varieties, except a few 
like Gandy which hold their berries high and dry. The best shippers and the best 
keepers, as a rule are the light weight berries—the Uncle Jim is not a heavy berry 
for its size. The Gandy is a light weight berry and largest specimens are often 
hollow. The Warfield is a solid berry and held in high regard for shipping, but it 
will not hold up equal to its seedling, the Senator Dunlap, which the the largest, 
but a light weight berry. For the same reason the Beder Wood is a good shipping 
berry, though on the vines it appears but moderately firm. 
The New Home and Stevens Date Champion are two new late varieties that 
are highly praised, but we have not fruited them as yet, and there are others 
not yet fruited, in which we are much interested. We note what great advance¬ 
ment has been made, but there is nothing excellent that may not be excelled. 
And now, just a word about our Eaton raspberry. This is a good tiling. 
Try it. If only a few' plants in your garden. We think it will surprise you 
and your friends. Read about it in this catalogue and include it in your order. 
We do not know of anything that could please you more. 
A Long Hide, but an Early Shipment and Good Care on Arrival. 
Snohomish, Washington, April 19, 1905. 
Dear Sirs:—The 1,100 strawberry plants got here March 31 and laid two days in 
the post office, but they were packed In splendid shape. I opened every bunch, dipped 
the roots in water and packed them in fine moist earth, so that each plant would have 
dirt against it and the next morning the leaves had straightened out. showing strong 
vitality. They have been planted in the field about two weeks and T surely think F 
have 1,100 live, growing plants, notwithstanding their 2,000 mile ride. The Eaton 
raspberry arrived about the same time and is also growing fine. I feel much obliged 
to you for your good packing and good long rooted plants.

of the ground in spring, often in March. The sooner plants are set. before 
they get too large a growth, the better. We aim to set our plants in early 
April. If ordered late in the season, it is always best to name a second or third 
choice in case a variety is sold out. or leave it with us. stating soil conditions 
and other particulars. We will do our best to please you, but order early and 
have your plants come early if you can.
