Strawberries know no equal as a crop for big profits from small areas. An 
over-size family garden or profit plot will provide not only all the delights of a 
family supply of strawberries but will provide a very real addition to the family 
income. In such a project every member of the family, young and old, can help. 
In such a project spare time can be used with gain to health and bank account. 
In such a project good training can be provided for boys and girls, the rewards 
from their work and responsibility in growing and selling berries will provjde 
encouragement to see it through. Easy to sell! Good strawberries have an eye 
appeal and a tastiness which attract the buyer. An ad in yout local paper, a 
short spot on the local radio station, a sign along the road, or maybe just a 
word spread among a few friends will nearly always bring buyers to take all 
the berries you have to sell — and at good prices. 
Siraurbemes — the quickest to 
produce of any fruit crop; the 
first to bear in any crop year. 
SirajArbexries — fresh from the 
vines, with sugar, in shortcake, 
in ice cream, as preserves, in 
the home freezer or rented 
locker. 
StraiArberries—di budget aid. 
Why spend money for lesser 
desserts in berry time? 
Carroll Co., Md., Feb. 14, 1951. "I only have a 
small piece of land. But off our 750 plants I sold over 
$150.00 worth of the finest berries besides what I 
used for the family which was quite a lot, as I love 
them. Thanks." ^x^t^W. 
Westmoreland Co., Pa., March 16, 1951. "I 
have grown Premier ever since 1942; have never 
missed a crop. I plant around 500 plants in rows 
42 in. apart and let them spread out about 18-20 in. 
wide. Three years ago this summer I had 736 qts. from 
a bed of this kind." 
Chas. Lowmaster. 
New Haven Co., Conn., Sept. 22, 1952. "My 
Gem plants have done excellent, and show better 
than the others. Many people have remarked about 
the fine looking plants I have, and I have passed 
your name to them." j. r. Cruickshank. 
Auglaize Co., Ohio, March 12, 1951. "Just a 
line to let you know that I was very much pleased 
with the 50 Premier strawberry plants which I pur- 
chased from you in the spring of 1949. The plants 
were very vigorous and everyone of them grew. I 
picked over 100 quarts of the finest quality berries 
I have ever seen from these 50 plants last spring." 
William F. Strohm. 
Kane Co., 111., Aug. 30, 1951. "We sold 3175 
quarts of berries this spring. It seems like every year 
we plant more yet we never can supply the demand." 
Mrs. Guy Hall. 
Hennepin Co., Minn., Jan. 9, 1951. "I wish to 
congratulate you on printing a perfect nursery cata- 
log. You tell the good qualities of your nursery plants 
and also the faults if they have any. Other nurseries 
invariably avoid this." Grant Martin.
