STRAWBERRIES! 
The desire for strawberries is universal. They look so good, they taste so good, they 
are so good that in strawberry time strawberries are just accepted. They belong! If you 
don't have them, you buy them. Notice in how many magazines advertisers are suggest- 
ing and picturing a combination with strawberries to help create a desire for the cereals or 
other food products they are selling? 
every member of the family. 
Strawberries fresh from your own garden will please 
Strawberries are so widely adapted as to soil and 
climate that every garden in the land should have a 
strawberry bed, 
What else can you grow that would prove so popu- 
lar with every member of the family? 
What else from your garden can be so appealing 
to the eye, so delightful to taste, so useful as a food, 
and so very popular as a dessert? 
What else in your garden can be enjoyed in so 
many ways — fresh berries, preserves, canned, in 
strawberry short-cake, in fruit juices and punch, as 
a flavoring for ice cream, etc.? 
What else can equal a box or two of luscious ber- 
ries to surprise and delight your friends and 
neighbors? 
Remember! Strawberries need less time to start 
producing than any other fruit crop. Strawberries 
bear earlier in the spring than any other fruit crop, 
earlier in fact than most so-galled early vegetables. 
Strawberries provide one of the best of all sources of 
Vitamin C, containing on the average twice as much 
Vitamin C per unit of weight as oranges and grape- 
fruit, three to four times as much as ripe tomatoes. 
Vitamin C can not be stored up in the body but must 
be added to the diet at frequent intervals. Remem- 
ber, too, that with a home freezing unit or rented 
locker "fresh" strawberries from your own garden 
can be held for all their many delightful uses 
throughout the year, and incidentally supply regular 
needs of Vitamin C in an "easy to take" form.
