FAMILY BERRY GARDENS 



Name Them One by One 



THE BLESSINGS THAT COME FROM A FINE FAMILY BERRY GARDEN 



1. Family health through the exercise and free air incident to planting, growing and picking. 



2. Family health through plenty of berries for table use, strawberries being one of the highest of all 

 foods in Vitamin C. 



3. A taste treat — Nothing tickles the palate of more people than luscious, delicious strawberries dewey 

 fresh from the vines. 



4. A budget help. Why spend money for lesser desserts when strawberries in profusion are so easy 

 to have? 



5. Friendliness — Sharing promotes friendship. A guart or so of delectable ripe strawberries is a gift 

 suitable for your closest friends and neighbors or for your most distinguished guest. 



6. Usefulness — In addition to serving as fresh fruit strawberries are tops for shortcake, canning, pre- 

 serving, fruit juices, etc. 



7. Year round enjoyment through guick freezing when these beauties are at their best. 



A FAMILY BERRY GARDEN brings a plentiful supply of one of the finest luxury foods within the reach of 

 all. Why not try one of the Collections offered on pages 28 and 29?

Frozen Berries Enjoyed 



Tolland Co., Conn., April 15, 

 1958. "I froze about 20 quarts 

 of berries that came from 

 your plants last summer. We 

 never enjoyed frozen berries 

 as much as we did the 

 Sparkle. The flavor is just as 

 good in frozen berries as the 

 Sparkle I mean." VICTOR

Money and Friends 



Mercer Co., N. J., Jan. 3, 1958. "Now that I have 

 time to write you please include me with your 

 thousands of customers. Fairfax and Tennessee 

 Beauty were real good to me. Not only did I 

 make money but lots of friends and I don't believe 

 I'll ever foraet this experience. I am strictly for 

 Allen's plants." LOUIS F. BECKETT. 



Wonderful Crop 



Botetourt Co., Va., March 19, 

 1958. "In 1956 I ordered from 

 you 250 Dixieland, 250 Cats- 

 kill and 25 Fairfax berry 

 plants. They were kept clean 

 and worked well. Fruiting 

 time came in 1957. I kept 

 strict count of berries picked 

 and I counted 1304 guarts from this patch. The 

 Dixieland were wonderful and I believe they ac- 

 counted for 60% of the crop. The Fairfax were 

 excellent in quality. The Catskill were fine berries 

 of good size." G. C. BEEMER. 



1958. 



berry patch. Got a small dish 

 of Pocahontas ripe berries. 

 Should the rains continue I 

 may have a few more quarts. 

 Got 50c to 60c per quart for 

 all. I had 16 berries that weighed IV2 lbs. Two 

 of my neighbors saw them weighed. Can ycu top 

 that? The people I sold to said they never saw 

 such large berries. A good many of them were in 

 their 60's and 70's so I guess they must have 

 been good. The Pocahontas is the choice of the 

 bunch here. Some of the ladies asked me how 

 I polished them for they really looked as though 

 I had polished them." NEWELL PARROW. 



65 Plants— 30 Gallons— First Crop 



Haywood Co., N. C, June 25, 1958. "The plants 

 I ordered sure are doing fine. From about 65 

 plants I have picked over 30 gallons of berries. 

 Sure satisfied with my crop as it is my first crop." 

 MRS. LILLIE WATSON. 



Plenty For Filling, Freezing & Friends 



Allegheny Co., Pa., March 31, 

 1958. "Two years ago we 

 planted 200 of your plants. 

 For the first time in our lives 

 we had our fill of strawber- 

 ries. Also plenty to freeze 

 and give to our friends. We 

 do not have much space." 

 T. W. REESE.
