H. D. Richardson & Co., Willards, Maryland 11 | 
The above picture is Catskill strawberries. You will also see Bob Hall 
and his compainon and the sweepsteak ribbon which captured the $400.00 
prize. Bob looks like he is kind of proud of it and we don’t blame him. He 
is no prouder of his prize than we are of his companion and him and seeing 
his berries bid at $1.25 per quart or $5.00 per gallon. 
This is postive proof that Bob has a good idea about where to get his 
plants and he knows what to do with them after he gets them. He also 
knows how to pick and display them. Such affairs as this have a great 
meaning to a community. It shows that the middle-aged people still like to 
win especially when they can apply themselves to the Creators natura to such 
extent that they can deliver the best that there is there. This causes us to feel 
that we have been rewarded for the careful selections we have been making 
in our strawberry plant adventures. It means a lot to us to have the con- 
fidence of these customers and to have their good words in the community 
where they have won the sweepstake prize with Richardson plants. It saves 
us from spending thousands of dollars advertising in farm papers which we 
have never been compelled to do in order to sell all the plants we could pro- 
duce.
