Pot-grown plants set out this summer will produce a FULL CROP of fruit next year. Our facilities for growing Strawberry Plants at our Nurseries at Riverton, N.

TIME OF SHIPMENT '-'"'^ pot-grown strawberry Plants are usually ready for shipment the latter part of July — and can be supplied as late as October.
