The beauty, taste and healthfulness of 
strawberries would rate them as a luxury 
but actually it need not be so, because 
they are so easy to grow and can be pro- 
duced in such a small space. 
Experience is not necessary in growing 
nice strawberries. Beginners can grow 
them successfully and profitably. For 
every family who has a small plot of 
ground available a strawberry garden is 
a ‘must.’ It can be in your own garden 
or part of a vacant lot close by. 
Strawberries are not only a delicious 
and healthful food but they provide an 
unsurpassed source of vitamin C. They 
are enjoyed in many ways—tiresh from 
the vines, sugared down, in preserves 
and jam. And of course the popular straw- 
berry shortcake which ranks with apple 
pie as a national favorite. Frozen berries 
provide a way to lengthen the all too 
short berry season and to enjoy that 
“fresh” flavor the year round. 
Three quarts per plant. They are tops! 
New Haven Co., Conn. June 23, 
1957. “I bought 25 Premier and 25 
Catskill plants from you in April, 
1956, and picked 165 quarts from 
them this spring. That is better 
than three quarts per plant which is really good 
with a really dry season. I think that your plants 
are tops and in the spring of 1958 I intend to order 
more Catskill and possibly Empire.” FRANK A. 
RUSSELL. 
Couldn't believe what he saw! 
A Clinton Co., Ind. March 15, 1957. 
y—* “We ordered 100 plants two years 
ago and last year they were the 
most wonderful you could imagine. 
So many berries and so large and 
of such fine guality. Everyone just couldn't believe 
what they saw.’ ROBERT J. LIPP. 
Lots of berries for a family of six. 
Tuscarawas Co.); Ohie, Feb h7, 
1957. “In the spring of 1955 I pur- 
chased 25 plants of the Fairfax 
variety. These plants did wonder- 
ful and produced the type of ex- 
pected berries in 1956. I have tried other plants but 
none meet the quality received from Allen's, I 
appreciate your catalog and any other information 
available for raising the best in strawberries. I do 
not go for the large commercial growing but for a 
family of six the requirements during strawberry 
season are large.’ JACK GOTH. 
Holding the lead. 
Henrico: Co., Va.. May, 13/1957: 
“IT bought some strawberry plants 
from your Company and this year 
I am just too pleased with my little 
crop. Honestly they are beautiful, 
though it is dry here in Henrico County, but I am 
holding the lead around here with my early berries. 
Just today I picked 55 quarts from my little patch.” 
MRS. LOLA VAUGHAN.
