L. J. FARMER S 
New Catalog and Price List 
Black and White Strawberries, Photographed July 17th 
To Our Customers and Friends; 
We have been engaged in the Fruit and Nursery 
Business for 56 years. We are willing to impart to our 
customers, anything we have learned in all this time. 
Come and let’s talk it over, or write us freely about 
your problems. We may be able to give you informa¬ 
tion about varieties and methods, that will be worth 
much more to you than you pay us for the goods. 
We have a large fine stock of everything in the 
Nursery Line; but, on account of the high cost of 
issuing a large, colored catalogue, we are sending out 
just this modest price list. We could fill it with nice 
letters of commendation from those who have been 
pleased with our stock in the past. Nearly every day, 
someone comes into our office and tells of their par¬ 
ents or grandparents, having purchased stock of us, At it Fifty-six Years 
40 or more years ago. 
If you want first class plants, shrubs, trees, etc., true to name, and 
put up in the best possible shape for shipping, send your order to us. 
It will be appreciated and you will get real service. 
Yours for results, 
L. J. Farmer, Fragaria Nurseries. 
LETTERS FROM CUSTOMERS 
Ithaca, N. Y. Nov. 3rd, 1938 
We have sold $78.00 worth of gourds 
from the two rows 400 ft. long. We 
have quite a quantity left and hope to 
run the sales up to $100.00. Can you 
put me in touch with some ornamental 
corn, the corn with a great variety of 
colors? I saw some at a florists. A 
week ago Saturday, we picked 25 qts. 
of very nice strawberries, for which we 
received 40c per qt. From a half acre 
of Gem (everbearing strawberries) we 
have picked $221.00 worth of berries, 
since August 1st, besides $50.00 worth, 
picked in July. Total from the half 
acre,-$271.00.

would like to get your catalogue. I 
have your book "Farmer on the Straw¬

my success in growing strawberries.
