Home Strawberry 

 Gardens 



Every farm, every suburban home, 

 every family with a tiny city lot should have 

 a home garden. And the earliest and most 

 delicious fruit to come from that garden 

 should be strawberries. They will pay big 

 dividends in health, pleasure, and profits. 

 Everybody likes strawberries, and the best 

 ones are those that are grown in your own 

 garden and picked fresh from the vines as 

 you use them. They are delicious, and the 

 joy of having nice fresh berries for your own 

 table every day fully repays for the effort 

 required to plant and grow them. By us- 

 ing the Everbearer, Progressive, the berry 

 season can be extended through the summer 

 and early fall until freezing weather. 



Your grocery bill will be lessened by 

 having your own strawberry garden. Not 

 only do you save the cost of the berries you 

 usually buy but you have more fine fruit 

 than you ever use when you have it all to 

 buy. You also save the cost of the other 

 things that you don't want or need, now 

 that you have plenty of strawberries. 



There are many ways of preparing 

 strawberries. Eating them "right off the 

 vines" is popular with many folks. "Sugared 

 down" for some time to let the juice come 

 out is a favorite — perhaps the favorite method of eating strawberries. _ Strawberry 

 shortcake is called by some the national dish. Fresh berries are used in soft drink 

 preparations, in punch, in ice cream, and in many other ways. 



Preserved strawberries are the most delicious of all the sweet foods we eat in 

 winter. They are fine in conserves, marmalades, canned strawberries and strawberry 

 jelly. There are many ways to "do up" berries and enjoy them throughout the year. 

 Do up a lot of them, they will help out wonderfully "when winter comes." 



Extra money. Some extra money for the housewife or children can readily be had 

 from the home strawberry garden. 500 to 1,000 plants will produce sufficient berries 

 for a large family and leave a good many to sell. There will be a market for them. 

 If you have room in your garden try a good big plot. It will pay.
