100 Acres Near WatsonviUe. 



The H. A. Hyde Co., at Watsonville, 

 Cal., is widely known among florists, 

 chiefly through its bulb productions. To 

 nurserymen its output of trees and berry 

 plants makes this firm one of note. Its 

 100 acres of strawberry plants, which 

 was the subject of a page article in the 

 Pacific Rural Press for October 23, is 

 interesting to those in the trade who 

 handle that line. 



One thousand tons of strawberries 

 for the season of 1921 is the estimate 

 placed on the output from the patch 

 of the H. A. Hyde Co., known as the Oak 

 Grove Berry Farm, located six miles 

 east of Salinas. It is the largest 

 strawberry patch west of the Missis- 

 sippi river, and the third -largest in 

 the world, the largest being in Vir- 

 ginia and the second in North Caro- 

 lina. Eleven months ago this straw-

berry patch was a beet field, but, be- 

 lieving that the soil and climatic con- 

 ditions were ideal for strawberry pro- 

 duction, H. A. Hyde, president of the 

 company, staked his reputation and 

 his capital on a "try out." For years 

 Mr. Hyde has made a specialty of the 

 culture of strawberries and bush fruits. 

 Associated with Mr. Hyde is 0. 0. 

 Eaton, one of the pioneer berry growers 

 of the Pajaro district. System is to be 

 observed at every turn of the road. The 

 entire planting has been subdivided into 

 plots, which are sublet to groups of con- 

 tractors who are responsible for the care, 

 cultivation, irrigation and picking. 



Varieties Carefully Considered. 



Several varieties constitute the plant- 

 ings, including most of the standard 

 varieties — Banner, New Oregon, Mar- 

 shall, Nick Ohmer, Klondyke, the old 

 stand-by, Malinda, a small planting of 

 the almost obsolete Brandywine and the 

 new million-dollar berry. Dr. Burrell.
