Berries like these always pay 



A Program to Produce and Protect Profits 



1. Use your very best land. When properly grown and marketed no other crop will pay so well. 



2. Set good plants of fancy high*yielding varieties, suited to your market purposes. This Berry Book contains 

 reliable information about varieties — their good points, bad points, adaptation, etc. 



3. Grow some berries every year. It is hard to out-guess the market and pick just the best years. 



4. Give your berries good care. Early setting, proper hoeing and cultivating, fertilizing as needed, careful 

 picking, handling and marketing of the fruit. 



5. Don't grow too many. One or two acres well cared for may give more profit than ten acres neglected. 



6. Plan for your most logical market outlet — roadside market, local shipments, processing or long distance 

 shipping.

All the above HguteB taken directly from U. S. D. A. market reports except last column which 

 was estimated from the mass of figures on the reports. A study of the figures reveals a wide range in 

 price every day. You know already that high quality raises the price, low quality is penalized. The 

 most successful growers do grow attractive high quality berries and keep them that way by careful 

 picking and handling. Quality Pays!
