STRAWBERRY SPECIALIST 
15 
Every one of our strawberry beds is grown for 
plants and not fruit. Some growers grow for fruit 
and dig and sell the outside edges of the rows for 
plants, the centers being saved for fruiting purposes. 
By this method the customer receives only the end 
runner plants, and naturally the smallest and most 
poorly rooted. Such plants are dear at any price. I 
would rather pay $10.00 per 1000 for good plants 
than take those small plants as a gift. With our 
method of digging and trimming plants, these small 
plants are discarded, your orders being filled with 
strong, fully developed young plants that will make 
a quick, sturdy growth in your fields this year.
