 of diamonds in your back 

 yard but you can have rows 

 of red gold there with a straw- 

 berry garden.

GARDENS 



As a universal extra money crop strawberries rank near the top. They can be grown 

 successfully in every state. Fine strawberries are easy to sell. Their delightful flavor, 

 beauty and usefulness appeal to all. Producing them is light, healthful work, ideal for 

 old or retired folks, for young people to provide them with useful and profitable work, 

 for part-time jobs to supplement regular income, for the woman of the house for "pin 

 money," for farmers with small acreage who need a high income per acre crop.

Richmond Co., N. Y. Feb. 21, 1956. 

 "Bought 225 plants from you in the 

 spring of 1954, and they were all 

 A, \ fine healthy plants. Lost only one. 



Last spring we picked over 400 quarts, and we 

 sold them for 50^ a quart. Am sending an order for 

 225 more plants this spring." JOHN STERLING. 



Summit Co., Ohio. Ian. 23, 1956. "I picked better 

 than 800 quarts of the nicest berries that my friends 

 or I have ever seen from the 300 Catskill plants I 

 received from your company. I am enclosing my 

 order for plants again this year. Thank you." 

 SHIRLEY CRUM. 



Stark Co., Ohio. Ian. 21, 1956. "We have been 

 sticking to Allen's Catskills for several years and 

 although we only raise a few we would like to put 

 in our two cents worth. This last summer we think 

 we made some kind of a record. We ordered 200 

 plants but had room on our plot for only 160, so we 

 gave 40 plants to a neighbor. On our 160 plants 

 we picked 405 quarts and then went on a vacation 

 trip. The people who took care of our plants while 

 we were gone picked 50 additional quarts." E. L. 

 PRICE. 



Medina Co., Ohio. Feb. 13, 1956. "I certainly have 

 enjoyed much satisfaction and profit from your 

 plants over a period of the past ten years. Last 

 year we picked about 1100 quarts from 500 of your 

 virus free Catskill plants. We sold $530.00 worth, 

 and all I had invested in actual money was $10.00 

 for plants plus about two gallons of gas for the 



garden tractor, plus the cost of the boxes. This, 

 along with the satisfaction and enjoyment of rais- 

 ing really nice strawberries, adds up to a very en- 

 joyable hobby." HERBERT W. STONE. 



Northumberiand Co., Va. luly 2, 1956. "The plants 

 you sent me in 1954 (Catskill and Tenn. Beauty) 

 were simply wonderful the past season and the 80 

 quarts I gave to friends brought me fine compli- 

 ments. Expect to get in the berry business in a big 

 way after I am positive of the best berry for quality 

 and market. At present the Catskill you sent me 

 appear to be far ahead." lOSEPH H. WILLIAMS. 



Henrico Co., Va. Jan 11, 1956. "The 75 plants I 

 bought from you in the spring of 1954 were fine and 

 I sold $68.50 worth and gave away and ate 

 several quarts. I cannot recommend your plants 

 too highly." CHAS. W. WRIGHT. 



Outstanding yield. 



Bergen Co., N. J. March 8, 1956. "Two years ago 

 I planted 300 Sparkle and picked 450 quarts from 

 them last year. They were good!" ADRIAN 

 LAAWVE.
