Description

TRUE-TONAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS
47
Strawberries and young peach trees make a good combination. The land pays a profit on Strawberries
while growing the orchard. The cultivation given Strawberries is good for the trees, too
HAS NOT HAD A BETTER STAND IN THIRTY-FIVE
YEARS
I can say that the plants arrived in elegant condition and
we never had them to do better. I have been growing Straw-
berries for the last thirty-five years and I never had a better
set than we got from the plants we received from you last
spring. — Davis Garrett. Supt., Chester County. Pa., Feb-
ruary 3, 1916.
WHAT MORE COULD ANYONE ASK?
Plants received. Good plants, prompt shipment, and honest
count. What more could one wish? — Asa G. Zinn, Barbour
County. \V. Va., April 10, 1916.
PLANTS ALWAYS JUST AS RECOMMENDED
Your plants are always just as recommended, and have done
exceedingly well. When I had received the plants from the
station, they were kept in the cellar for the space of one week.
as near as I can say. for when I received the plants, the ground
was not ready to plant. They were all true to name. — Robt.
W. Wenrich, Schuylkill County. Pa., July 3, 1916.
STRAWBERRIES ON THANKS-
GD7ING DAY
Can say the everbearing Straw-
berries did wonderfully last season.
as the plants were only set out in

he spring. I had the novelty of

eating Strawberries on Thanks-
giving Day. Many of my neighbors
did not believe it possible to have
them so late, so had to be shown. 1
have praised them highly. — John
D. Moritz, Albemarle County. Va..
January 24, 1916.
REGRETS HE DID NOT SEND
US ALL OF HIS ORDER
I was well pleased with the plants
I ordered from you last year. They
were all a healthy bunch, with a fine
root-system. I was also especially
pleased with the promptness with
which you got my order out. I
regret I did not place all my order
with you. In future I shall send
you my business. — A, Aktonini,
Jefferson County, Ky., January 17
1916.
TOLD ALL HIS NEIGHBORS '
ABOUT THEM
I hardly know where to begin in
praising your berries. Last fall, a
year ago, I planted some each of
Progressive, Chesapeake, and War-
ren, and to all of them I take off my
hat. I am so much pleased with
them that I told all my neighbors
about them. — Rev. Ellicott
Grason, St. Mary's County. Md..
January 16, 1916.
AGAIN, WHAT MORE COULD ANYONE ASK?
I believe it would be impossible for plants to do better than
those I received of you last spring. My beds began to mat in
rows in July. I never got more prompt shipment; the plants
were so well packed they were nice and green and when set
out they never halted, but started right off to growing. — W. D.
Hess. Berkeley County, W. Va., January' 24, 1916.
OUR PLANTS EQUAL THE BEST EVERYWHERE
The plants received in the best condition. All growing finely.
I don't remember that I included Big Joe in my list, but I
found him in the box. Many thanks. I received the package
here at the station on April 15. — Theo Hill. Pierce County,
Wash.. April 16, 1916.
SORRY HIS PLANTS DLD NOT ALL COME FROM US
Last spring I followed the advice of an old grower and split
up my order for plants among several growers. I am sorry
now that they did not all come from you. Of the 3.000 you
sent, fully 95 per cent lived and there was very dry weather
the first half of spring and summer. — Chas. F. Hitchcock.
Worcester County, Mass.. January' 18. 1916.
Chesapeake.
The leading fancy berry of the country. Likes rich soil, but

rewards the grower wonderfully

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
