Strawberries for the Home 



Everyone likes them, and every family should have a strawberry garden, if 

 there is a plot of land available, no matter how small. They will pay big dividends 

 in health, pleasure and profits. The best berries are those 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 every day fully repays for 

 the effort required to plant and grow them. By using the everbearer Progressive 

 or Champion the berry season can be extended through the summer and early fall 

 until freezing weather. 



Your grocery bill will be lessened by having your own strawberry garden. 

 Not only do you save the cost of the berries you usually buy, but you have more 

 fine fruit than you ever use when you have it all to buy. You also save the cost of 

 the other things that you don't want or need, now that you have plenty of straw- 

 berries. 



There are many ways of preparing strawberries. Eating them "right off the 

 vines" is popular with many folks. "Sugared down" for sometime to let the juice 

 come out, is a favorite — perhaps the favorite method of eating strawberries. 

 Strawberry shortcake might well be called the national dish. Fresh berries are 

 used in soft drink preparations, in punch, in ice cream, and in many other ways. 



Preserved strawberries are the most delicious of all the sweet foods we eat in 

 winter. They are fine in conserves, marmalades, canned strawberries and straw- 

 berry jelly. There are many ways to "do up" berries and enjoy them throughout 

 the year. Do up a lot of them, they will help out wonderfully "when winter comes". 



Extra money. Some extra money for the housewife or children can readily be 

 had from the home strawberry 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 in your garden, try a good big plot. It will pay. 



FINEST ROOTS 



Oldham Co., Ky., May 8, 1926 

 Received the strawberry plants order O. K. and think they are the finest plants I ever saw. 

 Some were in bloom and all had the finest roots and I am sure they will be an advertisement around 

 here, and I may want more later.
