Profits You May Expect From Strawberries 



We all hope to receive as large a profit as possible no matter what we plant, although 

 there is a natural feeling of pride in growing anj- crop, this feeling is intensified when a neat 

 profit is realized. Strawberries have consistently been one of the best paying crops and we be- 

 lieve we are conservative in placing the profit you may expect under average conditions at 

 $300.00 per acre. With the plants well grown, favorable weather and a good market, profit as 

 high as $1,000.00 is often realized. This is far above the average and to expect such returns 

 a grower must have ideal soil, give his plantings the very best of care and obtain good prices 

 for his entire crop. 



Advantages of Strawberries — Very little mon- 

 ey is needed to set a berry field large enough 

 to net a good profit. Only 8,000 plants are 

 needed to set an acre and about 600 to 800 lbs. 

 of fertilizer. By using stable manure and green 

 cover crops good crops of berries can be grown 

 without any fertilizer whatever. Small plots 

 can be used to good advantage in the berry 

 business, I?, acre or even less planted to Straw- 

 berries will show a net return worthy of seri- 

 ous consideration. Strawberries are the first 

 fruit crop harvested in the spring, bringing in 

 cash when it is most needed to help carry out 

 other farm projects. If you are not growing 

 Strawberries now, be sure to set some this 

 year, no matter what type of farming you con- 

 duct, we are sure they will return as large or 

 even larger profit per dollar invested than any 

 other crop you could grow. 



Plant Every Year — Some years and under 

 some conditions little or no profit may be rea- 

 lized from Strawberries but taken year after 

 year they mil undoubtedly return higher profit 

 than any other farm crop. This is the reason 

 the successful berry grower has berries every 

 year, not too many, just what you can handle 

 to good advantage. It has been shown, time 

 after time that one acre of well cared for ber- 

 ries will produce a larger net profit than sev- 

 eral acres that have been given indifferent at- 

 tention. 



Use Good Plants — Good, vigorous plants are 

 an important essential in profitable berry 

 gromng. Ours are of consistent high quality, 

 are packed with pep and vitality and are 

 priced to save you money. We hope you will 

 set our plants and we will do every thing we 

 can to aid you in making Strawberries your 

 best paying crop.
