Dear Friend: 
Once again we are issuing the simplest kind of price list for our plants. Last summer 
was one of the wettest years in our memory. Labor is still critical. This adds up to a far be- 
low normal supply of some varieties, notably PREMIER. WE FIND IT NECESSARY TO 
LIMIT EACH OF OUR FRIENDS TO 2,500 PREMIER IN ORDER TO DISTRIBUTE THEM 
AS EVENLY AS POSSIBLE. WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT SUPPLY OF CATSKILL AND 
BLAKEMORE, OTHERS IN QUANTITY SHOWN ON PRICE LIST BELOW. All our plants 
are large and vigorous and will reach you in good condition. Remit by check or bank draft and 
give plain shipping directions. Express is best and cheapest except in small quantities. 
Prices listed below are at Franklin, Virginia, receiver to pay charges. If you wish them 
by parcel post, just send order and we will attach C. O. D. claim for the postage we pay on it. 
LIST OF VARIETIES 
DORSETT—tThe plants grow vigorously but do not often get too thick. The berries are 
a full red with green cap, fine size and uniform shape. In productivity it will not quite equal 
Premier or Catskill but it bears well. Ripens about same time as Premier. 
FAIRFAX—A vigorous grower and quite productive of fancy berries. It is apt to turn 
dark quite soon after picking but this does not mean that it is spoiled. Its ripening season is same 
as Premier. Unquestionably the best for home garden and near market. 
BLAKEMORE—A fine shipping berry. Must be kept thin for nice crop. We do not 
recommend it for northern areas. 

PREMIER--An early berry without a peer to grow, to stand frost, to produce, and to 
sell in all markets. Our stock is very clean and healthy. 
CATSKILL—A vigorous grower with berries of fine size, color and shape. We recom- 
mend it as best midseason variety. \ 
PATHFINDER—Midseason variety, quite productive. Recommended for the north. A 
good plant maker. 
REDSTAR—Very late. Makes a gocd fruiting bed. Sets a heavy crop. Best on moist 
land. 
MIDLAND—Ripens about the same time as Premier. Good plant maker and fairly 
productive. Worthy of trial. 
TEMPLE—A new midseason berry. Red Stele resistant, worth trying.
