TAKE NOTICE 
Why you should use our New Jersey grown Berry Plants 
As we all know the most important factor in growing Strawberries, is to 
begin by using good strong healthy plants.Our plants are grown under ideal 
conditions in a locality where few Strawberries are grown, avoiding any 
chance whatever of getting the Red Stele disease, which has become so 
alarming and threatening to the strawberry industr5^especially in some areas 
of other states where they have been grown extensively. 
Tlie Red Stele disease is rather iiard to detect early in the season. Should 
the plants that you set have a slight infection,it may not be noticeable until 
the following year when you are expecting a crop of fruit and find that your 
plant beds are dying out from this disease. 
To avoid any chance from this malac’y.use plants from some .section of the 
country where berries have not been grown extensively and no trace of the 
dreaded disease has been found. This disease is carried on the plant roots or 
by infected soil, If your land is once infected it will be a number of years 
before 3^011 can gi'ow berries on it again.
