DO WE MAKE MISTAKES 
We take every precaution to prevent mistakes. Feey on being 
- human we will sometimes make them. If we do, you write us at 
once and assure you we will correct them. 
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS. I send FREE with each order 
instructions on how to grow berries; how to grow them BIG AND 
SWEET. Plus my special tested formulas for making ground rich. 
These are things I have learned over years. Written in simple 
language. Easy to understand and follow. Many ask $1 to $5 for 
facts. Yet I give you basically all you need here. AND IT’S FREE 
TO EVERY CUSTOMER. Plus your free to write me any time 
you wish facts on any special subject and if I have them will give 
you facts you want FREE. Fact is I like to hear from you; want you 
to write me from time to time. . 
HOW MANY TO PLANT. This question is brought up more 
often than any other. To answer it, would FIRST SAY it depends 
a lot on how many in your family and how well they all like straw- 
berries. But to give you an answer would say for 3 or 4 people 
200 plants. Where you have them in garden and hand hoe them J — 
would say you can crowd them in some and plant rows 214 feet 
apart and put plants as close as 15 inches apart in rows. At that 
rate a patch 25 feet wide and_50 feet long would hold 400 plants 
or one 25 feet by 25 feet would hold 200. Now if you plant them 
commercially ONE FOURTH ACRE will take about 2000 plants, 
and under good conditions might produce 2500 quarts. So you can 
see there is money in stray merce. A city lot often produces $400.00 
to $500.00 worth. 
WE SHIP YEAR "ROUND. However after June First we are very apt to 
be out of most kinds. We ship no orders of over 200 after June 15th except 
by special arrangements with Customer. . ; Eee full shipments again Sep*. 
First. 
KINDS TO PLANT. Many of you know kinds you like. But 
for those who do not I would suggest you read descriptions. Then 
if you still are in doubt write me for suggestions. Or pick one of 
my special assortments and ask me to PICK varieties for your 
section. Off hand for home garden I like few real ay main crop 
and real late—plus few fall or everbearers. 
It is hard to write a folder of kinds so NEW GROWER can 
pick kinds, as each berry is a fine berry in its own right ... territory 
and climate considered. To new grower it no doubt seems we have 
BLOWN each kind way-up. Just which is best? Truth is, what we 
_ write about each is true. If, after reading, considering locality, 
- ground and what is said about each, feel free to write me. Tell me 
what kind of ground you have: high or low, wet or dry, etc. I will 
be glad to make suggestions 
RUNNERS ALWAYS COME TRUE TO MOTHER PLANT. EACH SEED- 
LING ON OTHER HAND IS AN ENTIRELY NEW AND DIFFERENT 
KIND OF BERRY. Right now I am crossing English, Canadian, Peruvian 
types with many good old American standbys to see what I get. I am trying 
to develop new and better disease resistant types.
