You want top-quality fruit in the shortest possible time. We

to harvest. What we have learned in 75 years accumulated 
experience in fruit culture we pass on to you in a form that

us how much they appreciate the simple but invaluable informa- 
tion we supply. Many write of their success in fruit culture 
through following our cultural instructions and send photographs 
to prove it.

WHAT IS THE BEST FERTILIZER 
We firmly believe that there is no substitute for fertilizers of an 
organic nature, such as old hay or straw, compost, well rotted 
manure, decayed leaves. Any of these materials help loosen 
the soil, add organic matter and make the soil more retentive 
of moisture. Also growing plants under a mulch keeps the soil 
at a more constant, favorable temperature for plant growth.
