To the Trade: 
I returned Oct. 30 from a trip to Chattanooga, where I saw Mr. Mullins and his strawberry plantings. I 
was very favorably impressed with both Mr. Mullins and his partner, Mr. Leamon, who has charge of growing 
and packing. We went over the fields, digging plants here and there, and I found them to be the finest rooted 
plants I ever saw. Mr. Leamon knows how to grow plants and his method of packing is the best I have seen, 
protecting the roots to prevent drying out, but avoiding the heating and rotting of the crowns. Since I returned 
home Mr. Mullins wrote that Mr. Leamon said after meeting me that he was more determined than ever to put 
up my orders in the best possible shape. 
These planis are grown on virgin soil and have been certified by the Tennessee Dept. of Agriculture 
to be free of disease and insect pests. 
Mr. Mullins is County Agricultural Agent there and went into the growing of strawberry planis to clear 
up the plant situation in Tennessee and had the help of the Tennessee College of Agriculture in securing the 
best plant stock that it was possible to find . 
East Tennessee is said by leading nurseries and plant authorities to produce the best strawberry plants 
in the nation, and the Mullins plants have been pronounced by a leading plant pathologist to be the best 
to be had. Mr. Mullins exercises great care to have his plants true to name and true to type, and carefully 
rogues his plants, watching his fields for off type and inferior plants which are taken out, and selecting extra 
choice planis that he finds, for propagation to improve the strains. 
We have heard reports of hundreds of acres in Southern California that have been set to strawberry plants 
from Arkansas in the past two or three years that have been given the terms of wild, sterile, etc. It seems they 
resulted in great loss to the growers. But you can rest assured that you will get no wild or sterile plants from 
the Mullins Plant Farms. The Mullins plants will give your customers the greatest satisfaction. 
Cordially yours for better plants, 
Wawa. LER 
What Growers and Nurseries say: 
A Chula Vista grower: “We have about seven acres of Klondikes and they are the finest in this territory. 
All our plants came from you and they are very good and free from disease.” 
A grower near Sacramento: "I purchased 1000 Streamliner strawberry plants (from: you) last year and 
am very well satisfied with them. They are the best all-round berries I ever raised and yield as good. They 
are very large in size. The color and flavor are excellent. They have good aroma and are as firm as the 
average strawberry.” He ordered 5,000 more of this this season. 
An Oakland nursery: “We were well pleased with stock purchased from you during the past two years, 
and would like to place our order for coming fall and winter with you.” 
An Auburn nursery: "We like your stock and service.” They got Boysens and Youngs. 
A Camarillo nursery: “We were well pleased with your handling of our order last year and we know 
that we can depend on you to give us the same quality of stock that we have received in past years.”
