ALLEN'S BOOK OF BERRIES— 1921 



Home Strawberry Gardens 



The very reasons we have outlined above, indicating high prices 

 for strawberries, make it important to have a strawberry bed in 

 every home garden. 



Nearly Everybody Likes Strawberries. The best straw- 

 berries are those that are grown in your own garden and picked 

 fresh from the vines as you use them. They are delicious, and 

 they joy of having nice fresh berries for your own table fully re- 

 pays for the small effort required to plant and grow them. By 

 using the ever-bearer, Progressive, the berry season can be ex- 

 tended thru the summer and early fall, until freezing weather. 



Your Grocery Bill will be greatly lessened by having your 

 own strawberry garden. Not only do you save the cost of the 

 berries you usualty buy, but you have more delxious fruit than 

 you ever buy, especially at the high prices which are bound to 

 prevail for berries the next year or two. You also save the cost 

 of other things you don't want, or need, now that you have plenty 

 of strawberries. 



Preserved Strawberries are the most delicious of all the sweet 

 foods we eat in winter. When you have them to buy at 20 cents 

 or 30 cents per quart, you are not likely to preserve as many as 

 you need. Have your own strawberry garden and there will be 

 plenty for daily use on the table and for preserving also. 



With cheaper sugar you will be anxious to use more of these 

 healthy, delicious berries and to "do up" more for winter use. 



Extra Money. At the high prices which are sure to prevail 

 a little extra money can be had very easily from the home straw- 

 berry garden. 500 to 1,000 plants wiil produce sufficient berries 

 for a large family and leave a good many to sell. There will be 

 a market for them. If you have room for them in your garden 

 try a good big plot. It will pay.
