TRAWBERRIES 
No garden is too small to boast its own 
strawberry patch! And no fruit is easier 
to grow, nor quicker to crop! Strawber- 
ries are always welcome on any table in any of a dozen recipes. 
@ There's always a good market, too, for any surplus. The average 
yield per acre, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, is 
about 1,800 quarts but crops up to 10,000 quarts are not’ unusual. 
This prolific fruit is easy to grow, and simple planting instructions 
are enclosed with every order. 
We invite you to plant a bed of strawberries at our risk: If 
you are not delighted with our strawberry plants we will 
cheerfully refund your purchase price and you NEED NOT 
return the plants! 
YOUR ASSURANCE OF SUCCESS 
The strawberry plants you receive from 
Stern’s Nurseries are the product of in- 
tensive care in propagation. As each 
crop of plants is developed, on soil 
properly cultivated for the purpose, it 
is culled and inspected by experienced 
growers. Periodical inspection by State 
authorities provides a double check. 
Cool, damp spagnum moss provides a 
cooling, moistening protection for your 
order while it is in transit. And Stern’s 
liberal guarantee is your final assur- 
ance of success after you transplant!

WHICH 
Everbearing or 
Nature has not develop- 
ed an all-around per- 
former in the strawberry 
field. But nature, abetted 
by horticultural experts, 
has divided the whole 
group of strawberries in- 
to two main categories, 
depending upon the re- 
sults demanded of them: 
Everbearing and .Spring 
Bearing. For the biggest 
crops we recommend that 
you plant any of the 
Spring Bearing varieties 
described below. Choose 
several early, midseason, 
and late varieties to give

WHICHEVER 
YOU PLANT... 
Get the Best! 
The general axiom that it 
costs just as much in labor 
to plant poor nursery stock 
as good applies most to 
strawberry plants! Careful

the most scientific of pack- 
ing methods combine to 
give you, in Stern's straw- 
berry plants, stock that will 
fruit earlier and heavier 
than ordinary plants ...no 
matter whether you order 
Spring Bearing or Everbear- 
ing varieties.
