BERRY GARDENS FOR PLEASURE AND PROFIT 



No Home Garden is Complete without a Berry Bed. 



Strawberries provide a taste-treat for all the family. Everybody likes them. Straw- 

 berries provide a valuable health item to your diet. They are "chock full" of vitamin C. 

 With quick freezing much of the delicious flavor of fresh strawberries can be held for 

 year-round enjoyment. 



Friendliness. Sharing promotes friendship. A quart or so of delectable ripe 

 strawberries is a gift suitable for your closest friends and neighbors or for your 

 most distinguished guest. 



A strawberry garden helps keep the budget low. Why spend money for lesser 

 desserts when strawberries in profusion are so easy to grow? 



Strawberry Garden Profits. Hundreds of householders have a moderate size 

 strawberry garden to provide their families with all the fresh berries they can eat, 

 prepared in all the delicious ways which are available. Most often there are enough 

 extra berries to provide a nice profit. Good strawberries are easy to sell; their 

 beauty, delightful flavor and usefulness appeal to all. 



Add Luxury to your Living with Lots of Luscious berries from a Lovely Little 

 Garden.

Lackawanna Co., Pa. June 13, 1960: "Last 

 year I ordered 100 strawberry plants from you. 

 I am so proud and happy at the results I just 

 wanted you to know. I have been picking berries 

 for about two weeks now. They are even more 

 beautiful than the pictures on the cover of the 

 booklet you sent me, and the flavor is just 

 wonderful. We live in the city, neighbors come 

 from all around to look at them. They say they 

 never saw anything like them. I had one stem 

 with twenty-three berries on it. The plants are 

 so green and the leaves are like wax. I just 

 thought it would be nice to tell you what wonder- 

 ful luck I have had and how I enjoyed growing 

 them." MRS. JOHN F. O'CONNOR.

 You all have the cream berries." LEE BURK-

 like to tell you how pleased I was with my 

 strawberries. I purchased 25 Surecrop and 25

 order." JAMES CARPENTER.
