C. S. Perdue's Strawberry Plant Farm. 



THERE IS MONEY IN GROWING 

 STRAWBERRIES 



For several years berry culture has 

 proven to be among the very best money 

 making propositions for the farmer, and 

 the high prices that have prevailed has 

 made the crop one of the greatest money 

 making ventures ever known; several 

 growers from a few acres realized enough 

 to purchase small farms. One grower sold 

 his field of about 7 acres for more than 

 $8,000, while another farmer got about 

 $7,000 from 5 acres. The largest part of 

 the crop sold from $7 to $10 per 32 quart 

 crate, and an average dearborn load of 

 berries brought the grower from $100 to 

 $150 per load, some wagon loads netting 

 the grower $200 to $275 per load. One 

 grower cleared nearly $1,000 on a patch of 

 one and one-quarter acres of Strawberries. 



The Strawberry is a most profitable crop 

 and I would advise all who can to get out 

 some Strawberry plants as there will al- 

 ways be a good demand for all the high- 

 class berries at high prices. 



I have a list of 10 of the very best var- 

 ieties. I grow only the very best varieties 

 as I do not want to sell my customers var- 

 ieties that are not profitable to raise. I 

 grow the kind of berries listed in this cata-
