_ DEAR FRIEND and CUSTOMER: 
We wish to thank each of you for your business for the past 
thirteen years. Each.year we strive harder to grow you a stronger 
and healthier plant. Due to the fact that the strawberry area as a 
whole is becoming more infested with new diseases and insects 
each year, we keep on the alert at all times to see that our fields 
are kept clean. Our plants must meet the requirements of the 
plant laws in all states. On the Cumberland Plateau we have a 
large acreage of virgin soil, that is adapted to growing of plants. 
Weather and climate are ideal. We have attempted at all times to 
give full value with high quality plants. 
We never offer a variety of strawberry until it has been 
thoroughly tried by the State Department of Agriculture and 
proved successful. When you get your plants from us, you get the 
' benefit of our years of study and hard work. It is the height of our 
ambition to serve you in the future as in the past. 
AS TO THE VARIETIES — 
MISSIONARY — This has been the leading strawberry for the 
lower south for a number of years. It is a very hardy plant. And, 
after maturing, it does not have to have a long dormant period 
before it starts fruiting. It has plenty of foliage that protects the 
fruit from severe weather conditions. Fruit is bright red and 
will stand washing and shipping to distant markets. Good for 
home use and processing. 
KLONMORE — This is a cross of the Blakemore and Klondyke. 
The Klonmore is fast replacing the Klondyke in Louisiana. It is a 
very prolific plant maker. Has bright red fruit, very firm, excel- 
lent for cold pack, large strong fruit stem that holds the fruit off 
the ground. Very resistant to leaf spot. 
KLONDYKE — This is one of the old timers. And yet leads in 
many sections. Very strong, hardy plant. Large, almost round 
fruit. When thoroughly ripe is a dark red, very high in acid, excel- 
lent for preserving, good shipper.
