Dear Friend: 
Just a word to you concerning our plants and 
ourselves. 
We have lived on this farm for 27 years. Dur- 
ing that time our living has been made mostly 
from growing strawberries and raspberries for 
fruit and plants. 
What is said in this catalogue is backed by 
our own personal experiences, or what we have 
checked into very thoroughly. 
You will notice our prices are cheaper than 
other nurseries. This is made possible by not 
growing too many kinds of nursery stock, but con- 
centrating on mass production of a few varieties. 
We also have no fancy catalogues and do all 
our own correspondence and clerical work. 
We have tried most all types of berries under 
all conditions; you will notice that not all types 
of berries are listed in our catalogue. The reason 
is not all meet our approval. The ones here listed 
are what we have grown for our own fruit pro- 
duction, or we have found in them such good 
qualifications for the small grower, that we do not 
hesitate at all to recommend any one of them to 
you. 
Plants are offered for sale only in the Spring 
starting in late March and ending about May 15. 
Orders after that do not always turn out well. 
Fall planting is not recommended at all. It just 
does not work satisfactorily. 
Our strawberry plants are all dug in the spring 
as needed, generally early in the morning or late 
at night. The raspberry plants are all very good 
rooted and in excellent growing conditions. 
Packing and shipping is all personally super- 
vised, so are able to guarantee you good plants 
on arrival. 
No C.O.D. orders are accepted, 1/3 down is 
required on orders. Balance 10 days before ship- 
ment, or full amount with order. 
Please state the date you wish your plants 
shipped. We will give you 24-hour service or 
send statement when you can expect them. 
All orders placed before April 1 will be filled 
exactly as of date set. 
Complete planting and growing instructions are 
sent with each order. 
Thank you much,
