Honest, friendly dealings over the years 
and the growing of the finest plants have been the 
big factors in our success. The letter reprinted below shows

KNOTT'S BERRY PLACE 
Gentlemen: 
I am sending you some pictures of my Boysenberries, 
of which I got a wonderful crop this year. I had 1800 
plants that bore this year and we sold $1185.00 worth of 
berries from them besides canning all we will need for 
our home use. 
Let me tell you that this spring we had two killing 
frosts and the vines were full of buds but it didn't faze 
them. I also have strawberries and the frost killed all 
the early ones; so give me Boysenberries, they can't be 
beat, and sure do produce in Tennessee. Let me thank 
you again for the fine plants you sent me. Be sure and 
send me your 1939 catalog as I read it from cover to 
cover and sure do enjoy it. 
Yours truly, 
JOHN L. SCHNEIDER.
