GARDENS 



Every home should have a berry garden, whether you live on a small city lot 

 or a big commercial farm. Nothing will give the whole family more pleasure than 

 a few rows of strawberries. 



Reasons we give on page 6, experiences we relate on this page below: 



Plenty for Jam 



Denver Co., Colo., March 

 10, 1952. "I have only a small 

 patch, but your berries have given 

 our family and some of our neigh- 

 bors all the jam and fresh berries 

 we could use. I have raised your 

 berries for five years and they have been more satis- 

 factory than local plants." c Luverne Kirby. 



Only a City Lot 



Baltimore Co., Md., March 29, 

 1952. "I want to thank you for all your 

 help. The plants I got from you were 

 wonderful. I counted 32 quarts from 

 the 50 plants and loads I did not even 

 count. Sorry I have only a city lot to plant on. Thank 

 you again." Mrs. Marie KoUer. 



No Trouble Selling 



^^ Erie Co., Pa., Dec. 24, 1951. 



V^^^ *'I am thinking of getting some 



^3Lv °^°^® everbearing strawberry 



* ^^r^? 3 plants this year. I am the only one 



around here who has them. I have 



no trouble selling them. I got 132 quarts off those 



plants; I picked the last October 12th and I got 45c 



to 50c a quart, mostly 50c."

150 Quarts from 100 Plants!!! 



^^ Bedford Co., Pa., Feb. 4, 1952. 

 "I have been reading the testi- 

 monials in your catalogs for a few 

 years back with a question in mind 

 relative to the veracity of the large 

 production per plant. The spring of 

 1950 I set 100 of your Catskill 

 plants. Last spring, 1951, we har- 

 vested 150 24 oz. quarts. I sold 117 

 of them @ 35c qt. and did not have enough to 

 satisfy my trade. So I am no longer a ''Doubting 

 Thomas." Your customer for good strawberry plants." 

 Jacob E. Foreman. 



Took Everybody's Eye 



Orange Co., Virginia, Jan. 28, 

 .X 1952. "Your plants are really nice. 

 _ -^_5e^^* I had a bumper crop las\ year and 

 ^ they certainly took everybody's eye. 

 I sold 30 gallons." Mrs. Lillian B. Kraft. 



Berries to Share with Friends 



Mercer Co., W. Va., Jan. 17. 1952. 

 "My interest for raising strawberries was 

 renewed when I picked up one of your 

 books on strawberries on a winter night. 

 In the spring of 1949 I ordered 100 each 

 of four different varieties. I lost several 

 plants that summer by letting them pro- 

 duce fruit, but last season we had plenty 

 of berries and the finest ever seen: I sold 

 more than 100 quarts besides all we could use and gave my 

 friends quite a lot." g. A. Shiipe. 



Berry in a Coffee Cup 



Gloucester Co., Va., April 16, 

 1952. "Last year on two rows of 

 Fairfax I picked 373 quarts of 

 berries — some so large they would 

 not go in a coffee cup and one berry weighed 2} 4 oz. 

 I am sending you this order for my friend." 



S. J. Oliver. 

 Hobby that Pays 



Medina Co., Ohio, July 5, 1952. "Well 

 here in northern Ohio the strawberry season is 

 over after a very profitable and enjoyable sea- 

 son. Strawberries are just a hobby and we set 

 only 650 plants, 400 Robinson, 200 Fairland 

 and 50 of my own Temple. The season was very 

 dry and we hauled barrels of water to our patch. 

 As a result we picked 637 quarts and sold 

 $238.00 worth of berries besides our own use and some we 

 gave away HerT>erl W. Stone. 



Four Berries ~ One Pound 



Shawnee Co., Kansas, Jan. 19, 

 1952. ''I think that Fairfax and 

 Chesapeake are two wonderful 

 berries. I had Fairfax that four of 

 them weighed a pound and they filled a quart box 

 two years ago. I think your plants are just fine." 



Walter Nauman.
