well with me, and I go slow in planting 

 any considerable number of one variety 

 until I have given it a good trial. When 

 I read of the wonderful yields of some 

 varieties that I have tried and found them 

 perfectly worthless, I realize how much 

 care is required in selecting the varieties 

 to make a success at strawberry raising. 

 I have tried and discarded nearly all the 

 good old reliable varieties after finding 

 them to be not what I wanted. Most of 

 them yielded well, but berries were too 

 small. A large berry of good quality will 

 outsell any small berry in any market, 

 and to peddle they are just the thing.

A considerable proportion of my custo- 

 mers are people that have come up from 

 off the hot dry plains and many of them 

 are strawberry growers and have just fin- 

 ished marketing the last of their crop and 

 think they have had strawberries enough 

 for one season. When I go up to a group 

 of them and ask them if they would like 

 a few nice mountain berries they say, 

 "No, thanks." But when I show them 

 the goods, it's "Oh! Oh! Mary! Johnny! 

 Alice! come here and see these beautiful 

 berries!" And then its "Give me a dol- 

 lar's worth," until they are all supplied. 

 The next time I go to that camp they 

 come running with their basins, pans and 

 dishes, and say; "Now any time you come 

 this way, do not fail to call on us." 



No matter how many berry peddleis, 

 the one that has the large, sweet, luscious 

 berries makes the sales, regardless of the 

 price, and as there is as much in selling 

 as in raising, one can not be too careful 

 what varieties he grows. 



Nearly every seed catalogue has some 

 new wonderful variety that is a winner 

 and they ask a fancy price for their plants. 

 I used to bite at most of those offers, but 

 have failed to get anything yet, with one 

 exception, that was any use to me. While 

 some were quite good in a family patch 

 they were not quite the thing in a com- 

 mercial way. 



The worst I ever got was after reading 

 of a wonderful new berry — the Mexican 

 everbearing strawberry which was a won- 

 der — and I found it so. Of course, it was 

 high-priced, but that made no difference. 

 I sent the cash and received the goods. 

 Well, the plants did look promising, and I
