MARKING AND PLANTING 37 
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.
