STRAWBERRY SPECIALIST 15 
BERRY SITUATION FOR 1944-45 
Plants all over the country this year are scarce 
and high in price and will result in smaller acreage 
being planted. This will make the prices paid for 
berries next year even higher than the good prices 
that we had last summer, and will have this year. 
The first picking should easily pay for the entire 
cost of your plants. Customers report yields at the 
rate of from seven to fifteen thousand quarts per 
acre from the healthy, strong plants that they bought 
from us. With labor scarce along with high prices 
paid for berries it will more than ever pay you to 
plant strong, high yielding plants. Order early and 
only buy this year as many plants as you will be 
able to give good care to. Every farm or garden 
should have some strawberry plants growing this 
year. A small planting will give you plenty of berries 
for yourself and all extra berries will find a waiting 
market at fancy prices. If you want plants this year 
order now and avoid disappointment. 

RASPBERRY PLANTS 
We will have Latham and Taylor Raspberry 
Plants for sale in the Fall. For October planting 
Latham and Taylor are the two best varieties for 
New England.
