NO MATTER HOW

You will never buy berries as good as the fresh harvests of your 

 own locality. With "shipped-in" berries the quality and flavor can- 

 not match the vine-ripened perfection right out of the patch. That's 

 why more and more folks grown their own. Grow more! Save more! 

 Have more !
