VIRUS-FREE PLANTS 
Disease-Free Strawberry Plants 
Varieties of plants designated by a star in our price list, are plants grown 
from virus free foundation stock. Plants have been dusted at two week inter- 
vals with parathion to control aphids which transmit the virus diseases. The 
plants were set in and grown on clean land where strawberries have not been 
grown for 20 years. No other strawberry plants are raised within a half mile. 
Please send me your 1954 Strawberry Plant Catalog as soon as possible. My 
past experience found your plants very good and true to name.

The plants arrived in excellent growing condition. I should not lose one out 
of the 4 varieties. Thanks again for the way my order was handled.
