What Profit To Expect 



GENERALLY speaking, we believe a profit of $300 to $600 per acre is a 

 reasonable expectation from growing strawberries and there is always a 

 possibility of a considerably larger profit when growing and marketing con- 

 ditions are favorable. 



We are quoting on page 5 from some of our customers who have made really 

 large yields and profits. These records are above the average altho some of 

 them have been made by beginners as you will note by reading them over. 



There is nothing sensational about our recommendations as to how to grow 

 strawberries. (Pages 8-11). They are ordinary common sense methods which 

 any grower might easily work out for himself with a few years experience. 



The following suggestions are offered to help in making your strawberry 

 profits sure and large. 



a. Use some of your best land, and care. 



b. Select the fancy high yielding varieties. (Page 17). 



c. Get good dependable plants. (Pages 12-13). 



d. Grow as many as you can care for properly, but no more. 



e. If marketing locally, advertise a little. 



f. Don't forget that the motor truck puts all cities within 100 miles or so, in 



your market territory. 



g. Try the roadside market if on or near a well travelled highway. 



For the careful, well-located grower, Strawberries are unexcelled as a money 

 crop.
