A PROFIT PLOT 



For Extra Money to do Many of the Things you have Always wanted to do. 



No crop is more suited to tfje purpose, 



1. Strawberries can be grown successfully in every state in the country. 



2. Light, healthful outdoor work makes strawberry raising ideal for old or retired 

 folks, whose energies are less than they used to be; for young folks, to provide them 

 interesting and profitable endeavor — perhaps to save for college or other worthy 

 purpose; for people with part-time jobs to supplement their income; for the woman 

 of the house for pin money; for farmers with small acreage who need a high income 

 per acre crop. 



3. Good strawberries are easy to sell. Their beauty, delightful flavor and usefulness 

 appeal to all. 



Just Like Colored Picture on Front Cover 



Person Co., N. C. Jan. 19, 

 1959. "In 1957 I ordered 

 strawberry plants from you. 

 They did wonderful. I ordered 

 500 from you the middle of 

 March and got about 49 

 quarts off them that same 

 year, and the next year the 

 Lord only knows how many quarts I picked. I 

 have never seen so many and so big. They were 

 just hke the colored picture of Pocahontas berries 

 in your Berry Book. People who saw my patch 

 said it was the prettiest thing they ever saw. At 

 the stores where I sold ihem people would ask 

 the clerk if I washed the berries. They were won- 

 derful, just as big, pretty and shiny as the pic- 

 ture." Mrs. Philip Gates. 



100 Plants— 240 Quarts, Wow! 



Licking Co., Ohio. Jan. 31, 1959. "Enclosed is our 

 order for 25 plants each of Premier, Catskill, Em- 

 pire and Tenn. Beauty. Last summer we picked 

 240 quarts of berries from 100 plants of the same 

 varieties we are now ordering for this year's 

 planting. We were picking berries for five 

 weeks." Mrs. Thomas H. Bovard. 



Fairfax Berries 3 Inches Across! 



Defiance Co., Ohio. April 10, 



1959. "I have planted your 



strawberry plants for more 



than 20 years. Last year's 



crop was the first that I have 



harvested from the virus free 



plants. I set out 25 Fairfax 



and 25 Sparkle. I harvested 



160 quarts of berries from the 50 plants and they 



were the best quality berries I have ever grown. 



Some of the Fairfax were three inches across." 



John H. Barnhouse. 



Nothing Nicer Than Catskill 



Juaniata Co., Pa. Feb. 19, 1959. "1 have bought 

 plants from you several times and just sent you 

 a nice order this week. I say there is no nicer or 

 better berry than the Catskill. My customers don't 

 want anything else. I had around 800 quarts last 

 season and didn't have a quart to sit overnight 

 after picking. I could have sold twice as many 

 right at my home." Neven S. Arnold.

 have done fine for me and so have your other 

 new varieties that I have tried." Roy G. Bates.
