MARKING AND PLANTING yj 



In the case of the specialist, some would do 

 better on less acreage better cared for, while 

 others have no limit to the size of the plan- 

 tation they can handle profitably. 



Some of the factors that the specialist 

 must bear in mind are: 



1. His own ability as plant producer, fruit 

 grower and business man. 



2. Adaptability of his land to strawberry 

 growing. 



3. Markets catered to, demands of the 

 same as to berry packing, package, season, 

 etc. 



4. Advisability of advertising, etc. 



It is advisable for all three classes of 

 growers to start slowly with a few varieties, 

 building up as the demand warrants. After 

 a few years' test on a small plot of some of 

 the newer and more promising varieties, in- 

 troduce the best and cater strictly to the 

 largest money getter.
