PROFIT PLOTS 



An oversized family berry garden — There's your profit plot. 

 In fact, most berry gardens, except the very smallest, turn 

 out to be profit plots. 



It's such a logical thing — a profitable berry garden. No 

 other crop will so well provide young people with well- 

 rewarded work and responsibility. It will give old folks a 

 chance to feel and to be useful at light, pleasant work which 

 will do them no harm. It's a good family business.

 Some? 



Nothing is prettier 

 than a berry patch 

 or field 



....Here are three reasons why we think the price will stay high enough so that 

 Berry plots will continue to be Profit plots: 



(1) Everybody likes strawberries. They're popular. The demand will con- 

 | tinue because they have all three — eye appeal, taste appeal, health appeal. 

 j (2) Frozen food equipment — home unit, rented lockers, commercial plants, 

 provide a year round market for berries instead of just "in strawberry season." 



(3) It's light work, but strawberries require lots of hard work, especially 

 hoeing and picking. Mass production machinery can never glut the strawberry 

 market with labor-saving machinery. Too much labor might do it someday, 

 but not too much machinery. Production and distribution will not for many a 

 day disturb a profitable market for the product of good family berry gardens.

 Berries 



Monroe Co., N. Y., Oct. 12, 1946. Our son, George, had a berry patch which 

 produced over 600 quarts this year. With his cart as his only equipment, he sold 

 as many as 90 quarts a day. We had wonderful weather during berry season. They 

 were so large and hung in huge clusters. He averaged over a quart a plant. We 

 have purchased an adjoining lot for George and he wants to set out 1000 plants 

 and start saving for his high school.

Somerset Co., Penna., Dec. 2, 1946. I ordered 100 

 Catskill and 100 Premier plants from you in April, 

 1945 and planted them for my son, Paul. The past 

 June, he picked exactly 200 quarts from the 200 

 plants. He sold 150 quarts for $75.00 so you see I 

 think there are no better plants than Allen's.

Greene Co., Mo., July 2, 1947. In the spring 

 of 1946 we ordered 1000 Midland berry plants, 

 and they grew so fine. We were in doubt if 

 the plants would be adapted to this soil or 

 not. This year we picked over 700 quarts of 

 the finest berries anyone had ever seen in 

 this Country. We just can not praise the 

 strawberries enough. We had people to come 

 far and near to see the plants. This berry is 

 super to your advertising of it. Enclosed is a 

 snapshot of my five-year old son holding a 

 box of Midland berries. The quart has 21 ber- 

 ries in it. The berries have the finest flavor 

 to be had in berries. I put nearly 100 quarts 

 in our locker. We certainly are pleased with 

 this berry. ,
