Our strawberry plants are all fresh dug 
All of our strawberry plants are fresh dug, hand cleaned, bunched 
and ready for easy planting. The plants are then labeled in the field be- 
fore they are gathered up by truck and hauled to our packing plant. Here 
they are carefully packed by experienced packers, with plenty of damp 
moss and other packing materials. About 95% of our plants are packed 
within two hours after they are dug. That is why we can guarantee our 
plants to reach you in the very best of condition. 
In looking through the many catalogues you receive you will notice 
that some claim to be the world’s largest growers of fruit plants and trees. 
WE DO NOT CLAIM TO BE THE WORLD’S LARGEST GROWERS, 
BUT WE DO GROW SOME OF THE BEST THAT CAN BE GROWN.
