IMPROVED HEFLIN. Grows with great vigor on any type of 
soil and will always set a full crop regardless of whether the land on 
which it is grown is rich or poor. In fact, we have never seen any that 
does so well on thin soils as it does. At the sarne time it responds 
recklessly to good treatment. Its weaknesses are its lack of firmness 
and tendancy to grow too thick, and to suffer frost damage. It is not 
popular for long distance shipping, 
K LON DYKE. The old standby for shipping to distant markets, 
adapted to southern planting, berries medium to large, attractive red, 
flesh very firm and red to the core. Medium in quality, good plant 
maker, and yields good crops. Commands top prices on the market. 
Our Cusustomers Recommend Our Plants 
To The ir Neighbors a nd Friends. 
In referring prospective strawberry plant customers to you, I 
always feel that I am doing the buyer the greatest favor. 
Several of my neighbors have asked me to order plants for them, 
and as I have given my catalog to a friend, I do not have your price 
list to order from. If you could send me several catalogues next 
spring, I shall be happy to give them to interested people.

Through the kindness of my neighbor David G. Hughes, I have 
your catalogue. I would like this order sent by Parcel Post at once.

Please send me the following order of 9,000 plants, varieties as

This is my first year for berries and your plants were highly re¬ 
commended, so I am sending Money Order for plants to be shipped
