FERTILIZING STRAWBERRIES 



MARKETING THE CROP 



Where berries are grown on a commercial scale, the pick- 

 ing, packing, handling and shipping become matters of 

 primary importance. These, however, constitute problems 

 which each individual owner must solve for himself, and 

 an attempt to give directions is therefore inadvisable. 

 Of course, only the choicest quality of fruit should be 

 shipped, and it should be picked when in a firm condition 

 so as to reach the market in the most attractive form. 

 Much skill is required in the management of pickers and in 

 the disposal of the crop, but each grower, must of necessity, 

 work out his own salvation so far as these particular problems 

 are concerned.
