Strawberries the Most 
Profitable Farm Crop 
Here in our Michigan Fruit Belt our commercial 
growers received for the better varieties from 
$800.00 to $1,000.00 per acre for their berry crop 
last spring, in fact a high price prevailed in all sec' 
tions of the country. The outlook is very encourage 
ing for years to come—the acreage being limited, 
the stand below normal in almost every state, plants 
being higher in price for 1937 planting and not 
enough to go around for the 1938 berry crop. 
Taking all this into consideration, the outlook is 
very bright and points to prosperity for the berry 
grower.

YOU ARE SAFE 
By intrusting your order to 
us. Many thousands of our satis' 
fied customers have testified to 
that. They have approved our 
way of doing business by ordering their nursery supplies 
from us year after year, they are the backbone of our ever 
growing business. 
WE HAVE SUCCEEDED DURING 
THE 1936 GROWING SEASON 
In SPITE of the terrible drought and have produced a healthy 
lot of extra heavy rooted, quality plants for our 1937 trade. Our 
good fortune during the unusually dry weather was not merely an 
accident. It was due to the careful selecting of the strongest plants 
of the best varieties planted, to our “years ahead plan” of prepay 
ing the soil—and to expert care after planting. 
HARDY NORTHERN GROWN 
OUR NORTHERN CLIMATE is ideal for growing hardy nursery stock, be- 
cause we are located so near Lake Michigan, which puts a damper on our winters, 
making the climate such that our nursery stock is practically dormant until late 
in the spring. Bear in mind, Mr. Fruit Grower, plants that are dormant so late 
in the season have little foliage and carry well in transit. That is one reason why 
our plants can be shipped long distances with the best of results. 
ORDER EARLY—PLANT SHORTAGE 
An unusual plant shortage exists in nearly every state, due to the continued 
drought last summer. Reliable sources report the Everbearing Strawberry plant 
crop at 30%, spring Strawberry plant crop at 50%. Protect yourself, order early 
and have your- plants reserved.
