A FEW WORDS TO OUR FRIENDS 
We are glad to greet you again through this our annual catalog and price list, our 
only salesman. In presenting it we desire to thank our many friends for their liberal 
patronage of seasons past which has increased from year to year, and the past season 
was a record breaker. We do not claim to grow the “Best Plants on Earth” because 
sunshine and showers favor all alike, but we do grow fine plants and give our busi¬ 
ness close personal attention. We try to get our orders off at the proper time, cor¬ 
rectly labeled, good count and carefully packed. We believe in this we have been 
successful and as evidence of the fact we point to our rapidly growing business. We 
fully realize that a satisfied customer is the best advertisement we can have. 
The strawberry and raspberry adapt themselves to almost every section of the 
country. Varieties and methods of culture suited to one section may be unsuited to 
another, so test alone will determine what is best suited to your soil and climate. We 
desire to call your attention to the list of varieties we offer. They are the best. We 
have taken great care to have our descriptions accurate. In the selection of varieties 
for our customers, you may rely upon what we say as being the result of careful obser¬ 
vation and study of the different varieties as they appear under cultivation here. All 
progressive berry growers should test the most promising of the new varieties soon 
after they are introduced; then, if one is found that is superior, the grower has it in its 
prime. Try a few and keep up with the procession. One year’s test of a new variety 
is not always conclusive, as each variety has an individuality that must be discovered 
before it can be grown at its best. 
With us the spring of 1937 was not very favorable. The big drawback was the 
shortage of plants but this seemed to be the general complaint. With a favorable 
spring for setting, we were able to set our plants early thereby having a fine stand of 
well rooted plants for the spring of 1938. Many of our customers were disappointed 
last spring in not getting the varieties they desired simply because they waited until 
late before ordering. We urge you to order your plants ealy. If not convenient to 
pay when ordered make a small payment and pay balance when shipped. 
Yours for better berries. 
E. W. POTTER.
