THEY TELL THE KINDS OF PLANTS WE FURNISH 
Today, I was talking to a good friend of mine concerning straw- 
berry plants, and I recommended to him very highly the quality 
plants we have received from you. Will you please rush one of your 
Catalogs as well as one to me, as I regret that I have misplaced the 
one sent to me.

I bought some Strawberry plants from you several years ago and 
they were very nice plants, more reasonable than any I know of else- 
where. The season is late so I can plant them even if it may arrive 
May 1. You will find money and order enclosed. 
April 29, 1940 Minerva Shelby, Monongalia Co., W. Va. 
Too many times in our lives we all just take for granted jobs 
well done without saying ‘‘Thank You.” 
I want to take just a minute to tell you how very fine the berry 
plants were. I never saw finer roots, which of course, is very im- 
portant, then too, they were packed so well. The entire job looked 
just like it was done by some one who really cared what they were 
doing. I trust that the varieties turn out as well as the plants appear. 
Accept my sincere thanks for the order well taken care of.

I had your plants last year, 20,000 Premier reached me in a very 
good condition. The plants proved very satisfactory. We hope 
that this year plants will be as fine, fresh and hardy.

order is shipped. 
April 18, 1940 Albert W. Schendel, Hartford Co., Conn. 
Please ship the above order as soon as possible. The plants I 
bought from you last year arrived in good condition and grew wonder- 
fully well.

The 1000 Premier plants arrived in good shape. Please send 
3000 more immediately Parcel Post. 
May 1, 1940 H. Y. Speer, Oldham Co., Ky. 
Two years ago I bought 30,000 plants from you, 20,000 Dorsett 
and 10,000 Fairfax. They were all fine plants. Please send me your 
Catalog again as I am in need of 40,000 plants this year.
