1953 G reetings 
Since 1934 we had the pleasure of coming into your 
home by means of these catalogs and we have made an 
ever widening circle of customers and friends. 
It has been very gratifying to us to have repeat orders 
year after year from the same people; and orders saying 
“You were highly recommended”; for that means we are 
succeeding in our policy of supplying high grade plants 
and making prompt, careful deliveries. 
If you haven't tried raising strawberries yet, you are 
missing something. As you can see in the succeeding 
pages, strawberries are easy to grow; they thrive nearly 
everywhere with a minimun of handling and offer a great 
deal of satisfaction, profit and pleasure. 
Select the variety you like and order some now-we're 
sure you ll be pleased and satisfied. 
Cordially, 
Jay H. Shwers
