During the many years we have been growing strawberry plants we 
have tried many varieties in our search for new and improved kinds, we 
have sought better methods of growing plants, bettér methods in digging 
and cleaning, better ways of packing, all to the end of giving our custom- 
ers better plants at lower prices. 
Our plants are grown on iieen, 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 erereicare 
ing, sorting, counting and tying. ‘There the old runners and dead leaves 
are removed, small and other questionable plants discarded. Roots are 
straightened, and plants tied in a nice bunch of twenty-five, full count, 
easy to handle, A 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 straw- 
‘berry growing community in states close to us are people who have suc- 
cessfully used our plants. Upon request, we will send you the names of 
some of those customers. Maybe they are your friends, too. 
“Your beautiful strawberry plants I ordered from you for Elder 
‘Hall reached him on Friday of the same week, and a more happy man 
you never saw. He wrote that they were simply wonderful.”
