2 GEORGE RENNIE, ANDOVER, MASS. 

1908-1941 
Once again I am pleased to greet my many 
customers, both old and new. I thank them heartily 
for their patronage, I especially thank those who 
have recommended my plants to their neighbors and 
friends, from whom I have received many orders. 
For 33 years I have been growing and shipping 
strawberry plants, starting in 1908 in a small way. 
The business has increased, from a few thousand 
plants the first year, until now I am shipping plants 
to every part of New England and New York Statz. 
The land here is ideal for growing plants, a light 
sandy loam, which causes the plants to go down deep 
into the soil, making very large roots that are sure 
to grow. I grow all my own plants and if I should 
be sold out of any varieties, I say so, never buying 
from any one to fill your order as some growers do. 
In digging plants, I dig the whole row, discarding all 
small plants, also the old or mother plant. My plants 
are all dug after your order is received, taken to the 
packing room, cleaned and trimmed, ready to set out 
in the field. This trimming of the plants makes 
them very easy to set out and saves you much time 
and labor, just when you are rushed with your 
Spring work. In shipping plants by express, I al- 
ways send a postal notifying you when the plants are 
shipped. Trusting that I shall continue to receive a 
share of your patronage and hoping that this will 
pe a successful and prosperous year for you, I am 
Yours very truly, 
GEORGE RENNIE, 
The Strawberry Man 
of Andover, Mass.
