6 ALLEN’S BOOK OF BERRIES—1922 
Home Strawberry Gardens 
The very reasons we have outlined above, indicating high prices 
for strawberries. make it important to have a strawberry bed in 
every home garden. : 
Nearly Everybody Likes Strawberries. The best strawberries 
are those that are grown in your own garden and picked fresh 
from the vines as you use them. They are delicious, and the 
joy of having nice fresh berries for your own table fully repays 
for the small effort required to plant and grow them. By using 
the ever-bearer, Progressive, the berry season ean be extended 
thru the summer and early fall, until freezing weather. 
Your Grocery Bill will be greatiy lessened by having your own 
strawberry garden. Not only do you save the cost of the berries 
you usually buy, but you have more delicious fruit than you ever 
buy, especially at the high prices which are bound to prevail for 
berries the next year or two. You also save the cost of otner 
things you don’t want, or need, now that you have plenty~ of 
strawberries. 
Preserved Strawberries are the most delicious of all the sweet 
foods we eat in winter. When you have them to buy at 20 cents 
or 30 cents per quart, you are not likely to preserve as many as 
you need. Have your own strawberry garden and there will be 
plenty for daily use on the table and for preserving also. 
With cheaper sugar you will be anxious to use more of these 
healthy, delicious berries and to “do up’’ more for winter use. 
Extra Money. At the high prices which are sure to prevail a 
little extra money can be had very easily from the home straw- 
berry garden. 500 to 1,000 plants will produce sufficient berries 
for a large family and leave a good many to sell. ‘There will be 
a market for them. If you have room for them in your garden 
try a good big plot. It will pay. f

Full Value For Their Money 
Fayette County, Ohio, March 28,1921 
We have about 3-4 acre of your plants set in spring of 1920, 
which we believe cannot be equaled in the country, and while we 
had quotations this spring lower than yours, we preferred giving 
you our order as we were sure you give us full value for our money.
