STRAWBERRIES stand head and shoulders above any other fruit crop for your VICTORY Garden. 



No fruit is better liked. Every Member of the family will be crazy about fresh strawberries, the kind 

 you can grow with our improved modern varieties. 



STRAWBERRIES come into bearing more quickly than any other fruit crop. 



STRAWBERRIES are easy to grow — any good garden soil is suitable. 



STRAWBERRIES are not only delicious to eat, they are good for you, being one of the best of all 

 sources of Vitamin C. 



STRAWBERRIES ripen early — coming on in spring before many other garden crops are even planted. 



STRAWBERRY GARDENS provide fresh fruit for the table, 

 the "makings" for strawberry shortcake and other delicious 

 dishes, including preserves, jellies and marmalades. Those 

 who are fortunate enough to own or rent freezing units may 

 have fresh strawberries for Christmas. 



STRAWBERRY GARDENS provide also the ideal crop for 

 exfra money. No fruit crop is more healthful or interesting to 

 grow, more attractive or easier to sell, more profitable or 

 satisfactory to handle. 



STRAWBERRY GARDENS fit in with so many conditions. 

 Small areas often return large profits. A good crop to 

 encourage young people. To employ part time profitably. 

 Where older folks can help out. Think of it! With one crop 

 you can get some exercise, take in some sunshine, make some 

 money, feed your family healthfully, conserve ration points, 

 ease the family budget and help with the war effort. Decide 

 now to start a strawberry garden this spring and order your 

 plants quickly, because there are not enough plants this 

 year to go around.
