BERRY AND RHUBARB PLANTS 
The past few seasons berries have been scarce and prices 
very high, and that condition is likely to continue for a good 
while. 
AS a consequence, those who grow them commercially should 
get fine returns and make good money, while Victory Gar- 
deners who grow for their own use will be able to eat berries 
without paying a ‘“‘king’s ransom” for them! 
Unfavorable weather conditions together with shortage of 
labor due to the war have again caused a shortage of many 
varieties of plants, and many nurseries are already sold out 
of certain varieties. 
So it is urged that you order your plants early before stocks 
are sold out, and thus avoid disappointment. Plants will be 
shipped at the right time, or as near the time you want 
them as possible. Allow plenty of time. 
Practically all the strawberry planis set commercially in 
Southern California have been Eastern grown, as they have 
been found to give much better results than local grown 
plants, our mild climate not being favorable to the produc- 
tion of thrifiy, vigorous. productive plants. 
All the strawberry plants we offer are EASTERN GROWN 
except Rockhill, Brunes Marvel, 20th Century and Marshall, 
which are NORTHERN GROWN, and nearly all the cane ber- 
ries we offer are either EASTERN or NORTHERN GROWN. 

ROCKHILL EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY 
Northern Grown Plants 
This ranks as the best of the everbearers, quite productive 
with large berries of a very delicious flavor. Bears from spring 
to late fall. 
Rockhill seldom makes runners so there is no time lost in 
producing runner plants, but it devotes its energy to making 
a large crown and producing berries. And you don’t have to 
spend time cutting off runners! 
This variety will produce a full crop the same season it is 
planted, so you save a year over the spring varieties, which 
are planted one spring and the first crop comes the next 
spring. 
A Van Nuys grower told us that he sold over $800 worth of 
berries from one-third acre of Rockhills in a season, when 
prices were only 8c to 9c per basket, compared with 25c to 
30c in recent years. 
There is a strong demand for these plants, with plants scarce. 
Prices Prepaid: 25, $3.50; 100, $12; 1,000, $80.
