STRAWBERRY SPECIALISTS 15 
BERRY SITUATION FOR 1948-49 
Due to the weather in many of the plant grow- 
ing sections of the country, the available supply of 
plants will not be as large as during 1948 and wil! 
result in smaller acreage being planted. This will 
make prices paid for berries next year as high as 
the good prices that we had last Summer, and will 
have this year. The first picking should easily pay 
for the entire cost of your plants. Customers report 
yields at the rate of from seven to fifteen thousand 
quarts per acre from the healthy, strong plants that 
they bought from us. With labor scarce along with 
high prices paid for berries it will more than ever 
pay you to plant strong, high yielding plants. Or- 
der early and only buy this year as many plants as 
you will be able to give good care to. Every farm 
or garden should have some strawberry plants 
growing this year. A small planting will give you 
plenty of berries for yourself and all extra berries 
will find a waiting market at fancy prices. If yeu 
want plants this year order now and avoid disap- 
pointment. 
We do not have strawberry plants for sale in the 
Fall. We find that plants set in the Spring usually 
start to grow faster and are easier to take care of. 
There is also a danger that Fall set plants may 
Winter kill.
