What We Offer 
This year of 1950 marks our twenty-sixth year of work 
with strawberry plants. That means more than a quarter 
century of real effort, of some sharp disappointments as 
well as many pleasant surprises. In that time we have tried 
many new varieties in our search for better kinds, always 
selecting those whose year in and year out performance has 
been outstanding. We have sought better ways of growing 
plants, better ways of handling them in digging and clean- 
ing, better and cheaper ways of packing, all to the end of 
giving our customers better plants at lower prices. 
Our plants are grown on deep, rich, well-cultivated soil. 
The roots are heavy and long, white and vigorous. The loose 
soil enables us to retain on the plant the many long, fibrous 
roots so often lost in digging on heavier soils. 
Our plants are hand dug and immediately moved indoors 
for cleaning, sorting, counting and tying. There the old run- 
ners and dead leaves are removed, small and other question- 
able plants discarded. Roots are straightened, and plants 
tied in a nice bunch of twenty-five, full count, easy to hand- 
le, ready to set. Just the best cleaning and sorting job you 
ever saw. 
Our plants are carefully packed in moss for shipment, 
guaranteed to reach you in good growing condition. Small 
orders are wrapped in water-proof paper, large orders in 
securely bound crates. 
We are growers of plants, not jobbers. Our 
prices are farmers’ and growers’ prices, low 
enough for the commercial grower or for your 
garden, high enough to enable us to maintain 
our high standard of quality. Compare our 
quality, compare our prices. 
We are more than content to let our business rest in the 
hands of our customers, and depend upon their good will. In 
almost every strawberry growing community in states close 
to us are people who have successfully used our plants. Up- 
on request, we will send you the names of some of those 
customers. Maybe they are your friends, too.
