CHOICE OF PLANTS AND VARIETY 
Choose your plants carefully for the variety that fits your needs as 
well as for the quality. Read carefully the descriptions in the next 
section—we have tried to be as accurate as We can. 
Don’t allow the thought of the marvelous progress 
made in so many lines of plant breeding in the last 
few years to lead you to believe that some new variety 
will solve all your troubles. Choose for the greater 
part of your plantings the kinds that the experience 
of growers the country over has shown to be the best. 
Plant some of the new kinds for experimental purposes 
until you are satisfied that they are what you need. 
Be careful about paying exorbitant prices for plants recommended 
by only a few nurserymen. Don’t be a sucker for promotional schemes. 
TIME FOR SETTING 
Again and again we see the importance of early setting of nursery 
stock, especially berries. Transplanting should be done as soon as the 
ground is fit to work. When you should be making garden you should 
be setting berry plants. 
Plants should be transplanted while still dormant, so that the new 
plant growth comes in the new setting. After the new leaves have 
come, blossoms are out, and berries starting, the plants have exhausted 
their stored energy, and cannot thrive well if reset. 
Here lies the great advantage we can offer in Northern plants. 
By April 15 in most seasons plant growth is just starting and the plants 
are in fine condition for transplanting, while southern plants have 
already blossomed and are far beyond the resetting stage. Northern 
growers cannot meet southern prices on account of higher wages and 
different working conditions by reason of colder weather, but hardiness 
and difference in stages of growth are far greater factors. See that 
your plants are Northern Grown, 
WE do not offer plants for fall setting.
